Can we advocate for veganism without always talking about veganism? My returning guest, Glen Merzer, is an author, playwright, screenwriter and passionate vegan advocate. In E872, we discussed his fabulous book Food Is Climate and the urgent need to end animal agriculture. A message neither of us believes should be softened.

What does it actually mean to be a strong man today? Not simply physically strong. Not emotionally shut down.

Director Allison Argo has spent more than three decades telling stories that invite us to see animals differently. When Allison joined me a few years ago to discuss The Last Pig, we explored the deeply personal journey of a pig farmer wrestling with the ethics of the life he’d built.

When I watched The Dying Trade the day it premiered on YouTube, I emailed its creator, vegan activist and filmmaker Jack Hancock-Fairs, within 24 hours. It hit me that hard. I’ve interviewed undercover investigators, former slaughterhouse workers, psychologists and animal advocates over the years… however this felt different.
