Enough of the Falafel

Weekly vegan news show, with headlines, commentary & discussion.

Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights. But there's one problem: We've had enough of all the "falafel" out there!

With the 'Vegan Week' podcast, we aim to keep listeners (& ourselves) informed & up-to-date with the latest developments that affect vegans & non-human animals; giving insight, whilst staying balanced; remaining true to our vegan ethics, whilst constantly seeking to grow & develop.

Each week we look through ten of the top news stories from the past 7 days in the world of veganism & animal rights. Afterwards we slow things down & home in on one topic in particular and pick it apart in more detail.

If you spot any news stories that might catch our fancy, or have an idea for a discussion topic, get in touch via [email protected].

A whole country being 'cancelled' by a Brighton music festival has raised one of our juiciest conversations yet, and have left Dominic, Mark & Anthony with questions like, "Should we all be eating whale meat?", "Do vegans always have to make the vegan argument above all else?" and "What does ethnocentric even mean?".

Our conversation centres on this post from punk band Joe & the Shitboys https://www.instagram.com/p/DAWF2qMsRwW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

In this episode we spend 45 minutes listening to the vegan journey of 11-year old Logan, whos has been making compassionate choices since the age of 2 years old!

We cover the subject of whether he is 'forced' to be vegan, what he finds hard, what he enjoys about being vegan, how he feels about animals, direct actions he's taken to improve outcomes for animals, and a whole lot more, including the most important question: Does being vegan give you superpowers?!

As ever, we're keen to hear your thoughts once you've listened to the episode. [email protected] is the place to reach us. And as Logan says at the end of the episode, if you would like to ask him a question directly, we can make it happen; Ant is lucky enough to spend time with Logan each week, so your questions can be delivered in person!

Many thanks to Logan's mum, Kam, for facilitating the recording for this episode.
