| 10/14/26 |  Richie Manandhar-Richardson on why animal advocates need to use AI more (and how) | My guest today is Thomas Manandhar-Richardson, also known as Richie, from Vegan Hacktivists, an organisation providing free technology, design and data support to animal advocacy groups. Before joining Vegan Hacktivists, Richie was Research Director at Bryant Research, and he now also helps run Amplify, a programme teaching animal advocates how to make better use of AI. There’s no shortage of somewhat vague discussion about how AI might transform our work, so we wanted to make this conversati... | 1h 11m 00s | ||||||
| 9/29/26 |  Taj Uppal on risking 6 years in prison for rescuing animals | My guest today is Taj Uppal, an animal rights activist and lawyer. We recorded this conversation while Taj was facing two felony charges and more than six years in prison for rescuing two baby goats from an industrial dairy farm in California. Since recording, a judge has reduced those charges to misdemeanours. The case is not over, but the most serious threat discussed in the episode has now been removed, which is great news. Nonetheless the consequences for Taj have been substantial, includ... | 1h 07m 33s | ||||||

| 7/2/25 |  Thom Norman on whether diet change is a counterproductive ask (and what we could do instead) | There are never-ending conversations in the animal advocacy movement about whether diet change is an effective ask for the public. Today, we speak with Thom from FarmKind on why he thinks asking people to donate, rather than change their diet, can be a much more promising approach. We speak about why behaviour change is difficult, the many benefits of donating, what other social movements have used as their asks, as well as the different experiments FarmKind has run in their quest to figure o... | 59m 27s | ||||||
| 6/12/25 |  Alice Di Concetto on why EU animal welfare reforms failed (and what we can do next) | The EU is one of the most important institutions in the world. They had amazingly ambitious plans to transform the lives of the billions of farmed animals in the EU which sadly, were put on hold last year. Today, we speak to an expert in EU animal welfare policy, Alice Di Concetto from the European Institute for Animal Law & Policy, about what happened, what animal advocates might hope to win in the next few years and how we might improve our lobbying efforts.

It's all about what causes people to change their mind and this time, I talk about my experience with changing my view on disruptive protests and social movements. This podcast is run by Aidan and Thom from FarmKind, who some listeners may know about, as a great new charity working to raise funds for animal issues.&nb... | 48m 27s | ||||||
| 5/6/25 |  Katie Cantrell on shifting millions of meals to plant-based | There is an age-old debate within animal advocacy on the importance of educating the public. Is it simply enough to tell people about the harms of industrial animal agriculture and then they will change their behaviours? Sadly, not it seems. Many people have been disappointed about the amount of behaviour change that’s actually happened over the past few decades due to education, as seen in relatively stagnant numbers of people going vegetarian or vegan. That’s why I’m excited that this... | 1h 03m 59s | ||||||
