Ep 32: The Disruption of Seaspiracy & The Race Against Time to Debunk the Facts
The Disclosure Podcast
04/22/21 • 54 min
Seaspiracy hit Netflix on March 24th, and I don't think even the vegan community were prepared for the huge impact it was about to have. Trending across the globe and hitting #1 on Netflix in the UK, the power of Seaspiracy cannot be overstated. An outpouring of news articles, statements in response, and a 'debunking' of the facts presented soon followed. Today I'm discussing Seaspiracy, the impact that it's had and some of the criticisms it's received.
In today's episode:
- Responding to: "What about Indigenous fishers? Seaspiracy shouldn't be telling Indigenous communities not to fish."
- Responding to: "It’s not right to tell the consumer what to do, Seaspiracy is gaslighting you."
- Aquaculture Alliance & false statements.
- What has the pushback from the industry been like so far?
- Going in depth on the Earth Island Institute/Dolphin-Safe conversation.
- Facing speciesism: caring about dolphins more than tuna.
- Explaining the great Pacific Garbage Patch statistic.
- Did Cowspiracy force environmental organisations to change their messaging, and will Seaspiracy do the same?

Ep 28: How to Get Through Christmas as a Vegan
The Disclosure Podcast
12/19/20 • 30 min
Christmas can be a very challenging time of year for vegans. During a time of celebration, seeing our loved ones perpetuate so much death and suffering can be extremely overwhelming. Dead bodies on the dining table and confrontations surrounding our choice not to hurt animals, there can be a lot of pressure, a lot of judgement and ultimately a lot of reasons to worry about Christmas as a vegan. I hope today's episode can help you!
In today's episode:
- How can we actually enjoy this time of year as vegans?
- Why do our friends and family members get so hostile about our choice not to eat animal products?
- How power dynamics play out around the dinner table during Christmas.
- How to be prepared for, and understand the reasons behind the confrontation and judgement.

Ep 27: Are Vegans 43% More Likely to Break Bones Compared to Meat Eaters?
The Disclosure Podcast
12/07/20 • 39 min
During the past couple of weeks there has been a media frenzy surrounding an EPIC-Oxford study that concluded that vegans have a higher risk of bone fractures. Headlines such as, "Meat-free diets linked with greater risk of breaking bones" and, "‘It is a worry’: The truth about veganism and bone health" littered news websites and flooded onto social media. Even Joe Rogan shared the study, as even though he has often criticised epidemiology that supports veganism, he clearly considers this to be damning evidence for his very public feelings towards veganism.
Listen to find out:
- Are vegans really at a 43% higher risk of fracturing bones? Especially hips fractures?
- Are we biased as vegans against studies like this, and how should we react to it?
- Is there dubious funding behind this study?

Ep 25: Reflecting on Life Before Veganism - How the World Never Looks the Same Again When You Go Vegan
The Disclosure Podcast
10/22/20 • 30 min
I was once disappointed that I wasn't able to see an orca performing at an aquarium I was visiting, I once bet on horses with friends, and I once ate animal products every single day. But once I went vegan, everything changed. Your perspective on the world radically shifts, as if a blindfold has been removed. Suddenly everything looks different, and suddenly, there seems to be suffering everywhere you look. Perhaps the most difficult, and most challenging part of this is the sudden realisation that your friends and family are taking part in this suffering, and are in fact paying for it to continue.
But although the reality of the truth can be harder than the comfort of the lie, it is through this realisation that we can actually create a kind of world where we don't need to hide behind a lie to feel comfortable.

Ep 24: This is How the Dairy Industry Lied to the World (And Almost Got Away With It)
The Disclosure Podcast
10/14/20 • 34 min
Welcome to Season 3 of The Disclosure Podcast! In today's episode I take a look at how the dairy industry lied to the world, and almost got away with it. From 'government cheese' to government collusion, I break down how the industry worked with the US government to up the populations' intake of dairy products - ultimately leading to more breast and prostate cancer, more environmental destruction, and of course, more animal suffering. How is it possible that one industry managed to get away with this for so long?
