    When vegans ATTACK each other (ft. Ashley Byrne)

    What the hell is up? In this episode of Jamie’s Corner, I sit down with longtime animal rights advocate and PETA veteran Ashley Byrne to unpack a difficult but necessary conversation: how infighting, online drama, and activist-on-activist attacks are weakening the animal rights movement—and why powerful industries benefit from it.From trolls and bots to clout-chasing creators and even historical examples of infiltration, this episode explores how division is manufactured, why it spreads so easily online, and how activists can protect their energy, their mental health, and the animals by staying focused on the bigger picture.This is a conversation about unity without uniformity, disagreement without destruction, and how to handle conflict in a way that actually creates change.If you care about animals, activism, or social movements—this episode is essential listening. Key topics:• Why activist infighting is so damaging• Industry smear campaigns and division tactics• “Vegan-on-vegan” harassment and misinformation• How to respond to trolls without fueling them• Self-care and emotional regulation for activists• Why the animals don’t care about our politics🎧 Jamie's Corner is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube! 👉 Follow us:itsjamiescorner.competa.org📚 Instagram:instagram.com/itsjamiescornerinstagram.com/ashlovesmongo🙏 Support the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/itsjamiescornerSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4EfzXcBI227SSYcTS55kqo?si=53863a4ac58d4c88Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jamies-corner/id1616904718 🕙 CHAPTER MARKERS: 00;00;00;00 — Why Division Weakens Movements00;02;05;12 — Unity for the Animals (Episode Purpose)00;03;41;25 — When Attacks Come From Inside the Movement00;06;08;08 — There’s No “Right” Way to Be an Activist00;09;27;23 — Industry Smear Campaigns & Manufactured Conflict00;14;26;03 — How the Outside World Sees Vegan Infighting00;20;19;00 — Infiltration, Bots, and Paid Division00;24;11;07 — Healthy Disagreement vs Destructive Drama00;37;31;25 — Self-Care, Equilibrium & Activist Longevity00;58;47;03 — Final Reminder: It’s About the Animals

    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.

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?
