    They Called Him a Terrorist for Saving Animals (ft. Andy Stepanian)

    In this episode of Jamie’s Corner, Jamie Logan sits down with Andy Stepanian — animal rights activist, SHAC 7 defendant, and former political prisoner — for one of the most raw and revealing conversations we’ve ever had on the show. Andy traces the path from early environmental activism to the SHAC 7 campaign, explaining how strategic pressure can expose corporate cruelty and bring down multi million dollar industries. He shares the deeply human side of being a political prisoner — the isolation, the unexpected community, and the fight to stay vegan and stay sane inside solitary confinement. We dive into prison life, unexpected friendships with people labeled “terrorists,” and the lessons he carries forward to today’s movement — including why activists must unite, how identity politics can fracture impact, and what we must do right now to support activists like Zoe Rosenberg, facing years for rescuing chickens. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about animals, justice, or the power of speaking truth to power. 🎧 Jamie's Corner is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube!  👉 Follow us: itsjamiescorner.com https://www.petaindia.com 📚 Instagram: instagram.com/itsjamiescorner instagram.com/andystepanian 🙏 Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/c/itsjamiescorner Spotify -  https://open.spotify.com/show/4EfzXcBI227SSYcTS55kqo?si=53863a4ac58d4c88 Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jamies-corner/id1616904718 🕙 CHAPTER MARKERS: 00:00 Introduction & the early days of activism 02:11 Andy's path to veganism 04:27 Shift to high-risk direct action (targeting fur shops) 07:22 The SHAC 7 Campaign  09:15 Targeting the financial pillars of Huntington Life Sciences (HLS) 10:03 The strategy of "starving the organism" and the campaign's success 12:50 The conviction: The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act vs. protected speech 19:45 Life as a Political Prisoner 21:59 Maintaining a vegan diet in solitary confinement (losing 28 lbs) 26:59 Unexpected friendships 30:30 Helping a fellow inmate  30:30 Supporting Activists: The Case of Zoe Rosenberg 41:34 Intersectionality and movement unity 42:40 Why divisiveness is counterproductive 46:13 Building coalition 54:10 How veganism is foundational to global peace 01:05:22 Conclusion

    Why Animal Cruelty is a Threat to Your Survival (ft. Poorva Joshipura)

    Join us for a powerful conversation with Poorva Joshipura, the Director of PETA India as she recounts her 25 years on the front lines of the animal rights movement. Poorva dives deep into the realities of activism, sharing the "chicken burger" moment that changed her life and how she overcame shyness to become a global advocate. She reveals the shocking truths uncovered during investigations, particularly within the Indian dairy and meat industries, and discusses the myths surrounding the treatment of animals in the region. This episode explores why animal rights is intrinsically linked to human survival—from climate change and public health threats to social justice. Drawing on her books, For a Moment of Taste and Survival at Stake, Poorva offers insights on dealing with the emotional toll of the work, navigating difficult conversations with family, and how every individual can drive meaningful change. 🎧 Jamie's Corner is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube!  👉 Follow us: itsjamiescorner.com https://www.petaindia.com 📚 Instagram: instagram.com/itsjamiescorner instagram.com/petaindia instagram.com/poorvajo Links to Poorva's Books: https://www.amazon.com/Survival-Stake-Treatment-Animals-Existence/dp/9356994722 https://www.amazon.com/Moment-Taste-Impacts-Animals-Planet-ebook/dp/B084VD5D8J?ref_=ast_author_mpb 🙏 Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/c/itsjamiescorner Spotify -  https://open.spotify.com/show/4EfzXcBI227SSYcTS55kqo?si=53863a4ac58d4c88 Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jamies-corner/id1616904718 🕙 CHAPTER MARKERS: 0:56 Meet Poorva Joshipura Director of PETA India 1:38 The Journey to Animal Rights Activism 3:12 The "Chicken Burger" That Changed Everything 4:28 Overcoming Fear and Discomfort as an Activist 5:08 Why We Must Speak Up for Animals 6:50 Investigations: Behind the Closed Doors of Abuse 7:04 The Truth About Animal Industries in India  10:46 The Shocking Reality of the Indian Dairy Industry 13:48 The Unimaginable Cruelty of the "Khaal Bachha" Practice 14:49 Why We Must End the Idea of Animals Serving Humans 15:32 Protection Mechanisms & Staying Motivated 17:29 Advice for Dealing with Friends & Family 20:01 Why Focus on Animals?

    Beyond the Mat: How Yoga Fuels Real-World Activism (ft. Yogeswari)

    What the hell is up? On this episode of Jamie’s Corner, I sit down with my beloved teacher, Yogeswari, during the 300-hour Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training in India. We dive deep into the core tenets of the Jivamukti Yoga method, which explicitly link spiritual practice with action—centering on devotion, ahimsa (non-violence), and activism. With over 20 years of teaching experience, Yogeswari shares how yoga can be a powerful tool for inner growth and outer change—fostering self-love, personal transformation, and deep societal impact. She also opens up about her work founding the Azahar Foundation, which brings healing and education to communities in post-conflict zones such as Rwanda and Cambodia.

    How to Change the World From the Inside Out (ft. Radhanath Swami)

    On this episode of Jamie's Corner, I sit down with the extraordinary Radhanath Swami, a world-renowned spiritual leader and New York Times best-selling author. This conversation goes far beyond the surface, exploring the deep connection between our inner spiritual lives and our ability to create real, lasting change in the world. Swami Radhanath shares his journey from a 1960s civil rights activist to a global spiritual teacher. We dive into his work, including the incredible Govardhan Eco Village and the Mid-Day Meals program that feeds over a million children a day. He challenges us to look inward, asking a powerful question: What is the difference between a dog and a cow? We discuss why true compassion for others—whether they are people, animals, or the environment—is rooted in our own spiritual enlightenment. Swami Radhanath explains that you can't truly change the world unless you're willing to change yourself first. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to have a greater impact, live with more meaning, and understand that the most powerful activism begins with the heart. 🎧 Jamie's Corner is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube! 👉 Follow us: itsjamiescorner.com https://www.radhanathswami.com 🙏 Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/c/itsjamiescorner 🕙 CHAPTER MARKERS: 0:00:00 - The Cow, the Dog, and the Question of Compassion 0:01:00 - Who is Radhanath Swami?
