In this episode we answer three very different questions we were asked by listeners. The first revolves around being vegan and dealing with stubborn, wilfully ignorant, and spiteful family members. The second asks how to get rid of bad eating habits and struggles with stress eating. The final question looks at a few of the 100+ excuses people use in an attempt to justify their continued consumption of animal products.

October 9, 2017 This episode was requested by a listener. They asked us to watch and discuss the film Unlocking The Cage.  The film follows animal rights lawyer Steven Wise in his unprecedented challenge to break down the legal wall that separates animals from humans. After thirty years of struggling with ineffective animal welfare laws, Steve and his legal team, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP), are making history by filing the first lawsuits that seek to transform an animal from a thing with no rights to a person with legal protections.

Subscribe to our Podcast: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS | Android | Email Episode 014: James Aspey - From Drugs and Cancer to Vegan Activism and Meditation  September 25, 2017 At 17 years old, James Aspey was diagnosed with leukemia and was given only 6 weeks to live. He beat the cancer, lived a life of hard partying, drugs, and developed an eating disorder.  Many years later, his life changed on a cruise ship - of all places!  Fast forward to today and James has replaced drugs, cancer, and bulimia with surfing, vegan activism, and meditation. In 2014, James took a 365 day vow of silence to raise awareness for animals… and since breaking that vow on mainstream television, he has not stopped talking and educating people about animal liberation and peace.  As an animal rights activist, James has taken part in a multitude of different forms of activism, including giving hundreds of talks around the world, with his most popular speech having 12 million views on social media!  It was a pleasure to catch up with and learn from today’s special guest, James Aspey.

Subscribe to our Podcast: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS | Android | Email Episode 013: Minimalism - Did We Fail? September 18, 2017 We live a fairly transient life and our recent move made us reassess all the stuff we own. Whilst preparing for our move, we were knee-deep in boxes and felt like minimalist failures! What and why are we still holding onto stuff?? To give you a better visual of what we recently traveled with, here’s a picture of all our stuff. In this podcast episode, we forgot to mention the fan box … which we also squeezed a wok into! Oh, and the two big backpacks also contain our towels and bedding. We’re thinking of recording another episode about Minimalism - talking more about what it means to us and some of the more difficult items we’ve let go of over the years. If you’d like to hear those stories and more on this topic, let us know in the comments below these notes. And please leave us any questions you might have too.

Episode 013: Minimalism – Did We Fail?

Subscribe to our Podcast: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS | Android | Email Episode 012: Is Eating Animals Bad Karma?  September 12, 2017 We were asked some great questions by various people about Karma, spiritual truths, and veganism… so we combined some of these questions and answer them in this episode.  Do you believe in Karma? Does eating animals give you bad Karma? How do spiritual truths hold up when put in the context of veganism?  Lots of great questions that could go in so many directions! Funny how these topics end up creating more questions than offering conclusive answers ;)  References: The World Peace Diet Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony.

Episode 012: Is Eating Animals Bad Karma?

Subscribe to our Podcast: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS | Android | Email Episode 011: Earthling Ed - The man behind “Land of Hope and Glory” September 3, 2017 The new film Land of Hope and Glory exposes the truth about animal agriculture in the UK and really breaks down the misconception that farms certified as free-range and organic are any better than regular factory farms. The film also proves that the horrors of the animal agriculture industry don’t just happen in America … these are standard industry practices that happen all over the world - including in the UK.  The film has had a great amount of success in such a short time since its release, and we wanted to learn more about the film’s production and the man behind the project.  Our special guest is animal rights activist, YouTuber, and producer of the film, Earthling Ed.  References: Land of Hope and Glory Website   YouTube  Earthling Ed's YouTube Channel Instrumental music produced by Chuki   Thanks for Listening!
