Vegan Week

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! Each week we release two different shows, hosted by a different combination of everyday vegans. No celebrities; no influencers; just normal vegan people from across the world! 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. A few days later we release another weekly show: 'Vegan Talk'. Here we'll pick a topic affecting vegans, or the animal rights movement & go into a bit more detail, whether it be through philosophical musings, weighing up different viewpoints, or simply sharing our own experiences.  If you spot any news stories that might catch our fancy, or have an idea for a discussion topic, get in touch via enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com.  Thanks everyone for listening; drop us a message to say "hi"; it'll make our day! Much love, from Ant, Julie, Mark, Dominic, Kate, Paul, Carlos, Luke, Rich, Tom, Alex & everyone else at the Enough of the Falafel collective!

    265- We didn't have mental wellbeing in my day...

    In a social justice movement where we work tirelessly for innocent sentient beings, it can be tempting to become martyrs that don't consider our own needs. But Dr Ishani Rao would argue that this isn't what is best for animals. Kate & Ant talk to the author of 'Choosing Compassion' (Mark's Pick of the week a couple of months back) about using self-care to harness the power of our incredibly motivated activist community. For more on Ishani's work, check out her link-tree: https://linktr.ee/drishanirao To buy her excellent book, visit https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ChoosingCompassion As  ever, we love hearing your views on the topics under discussion (or  anything else!) so do drop us your thoughts via  enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com Like what we do?

    264- Viva shuts down pig farm!

    After nine years, and much hard slog, we're delighted to report that Hogwood Farm in Warwickshire, UK, is to be shut down! It's not all good news this week, but Paul, Julie & Ant nonetheless bring their critical and analytical eye to the last seven days of animal rights and vegan news. Like what we do?

  3. 263- Can you organise vegans?

    263- Can you organise vegans?

    Paul said "It's like trying to herd a bunch of very committed cats, all of whom have very different ideas" Julie said "It's fine...so long as they're actually vegan" Anthony said "They should all be more like Morris Dancers" Case in point. Three vegans with completely different takes...or do they all complement one another perfectly? In this episode of Vegan Talk, Paul, Julie & Ant discuss whether you can successfully organise vegans...and whether it matters either way!

    260- Ethical dairy? Now this I've gotta hear...

    You know that great long list of things that makes the dairy industry an abomination? Well apparently, if you change one of those things slightly, you get to call the whole thing ethical! Compassion in World Farming are celebrating the release of 'A Dairy Story' this week, but Julie, Mark & Ant are less sure. However this isn't the onlyt bit of vegan and animal rights news  from the last 7 days that they're covering. Hold on, because there's eight others to whizz through in sixty minutes. Like what we do?
