25- Going Vegan: "You don't have to call yourself 'vegan'"

Join us in the Going Vegan series for a dozen conversations with people about their vegan journeys: The first signs that veganism might be an option for individuals, making the switch, the challenges, the surprises...and everything in between!

In our sixth episode, we speak to Julie, who tells us about a vegan journey in rural Scotland, with several food allergies...and often without a 'vegan' label...

Next Episode

27- "But Earthling Ed promised..."

Earthling Ed's new book, "How to argue with a meat eater (and win every time)" has been out for a couple of weeks now. Is its title clever, or unnecessarily incendiary? Are Ed's words inspiring, or a little self-riteous? And will anyone other than card-carrying members of Team:Vegan read the book? Tom, Kate & Anthony wrestle with these questions and more in their review of the book from Penguin Publishing. As ever, they'd be keen to hear your thoughts once you've listened to the episode. [email protected] is the place to reach us.

You may also be thinking...

"Vegan Talk? Is this a new show from Enough of the Falafel?"

Well, yes and no...

You know the discussion section that we normally have in the second half of the show, focussed on just one topic? Well, we're trying this out as its own show, seeing as it's quite different from the news section. So, Vegan Week on Monday is where you'll still get your weekly roundup of vegan & animal rights news' and Vegan Talk on Thursday is where you'll hear guests deep-dive on one particular topic
