At the start of season II, Brad was pretty new to veganism, and the idea didn't seem to resonate with him. Since then, it seems that episode was his slap in the face: a moment of realisation.

In this episode, Brad, Giulia and myself talk about: upsetting your family; how veganism is the next political movement; how considerate animal welfare is; and how you can still be big and strong without meat and dairy. I hope this episode can help others who have recently had their slap in the face, but also bring veganism into someones view that wasn't necessarily looking for it... or wanted to. Thanks for listening, H x

“A lot of people don't think about these things because they're not ready to."

V-Label is an internationally recognised, registered seal for labelling vegan and vegetarian products and services. V-Label is also the first company that reached out to me and asked to be a part of Passing Through A Vegan Door.

I recently sat down with Charlotte, the business development manager at V-Label, to talk about finding vegan products on the shelves, not missing the taste of a Kit Kat, arguments around veganism, and the future of our food systems. Thank you to Charlotte, and I hope you enjoy two vegans talking about something they care about.

"It's nice working for something that's so close to my heart"

On the 15th April 2023 the Grand National, an annual horse racing event, took place at Aintree Racecourse in the UK. Animal Rising attracted a lot of media attention for storming the tracks to prevent these races from happening. I recently spoke with Dan, the cofounder of Animal Rising, to find out why he thinks this is the most important thing to be doing with his time, why a British tradition should be stopped, and whether radical activism is the answer.

We also talk about the environmental and ecological collapse of the home we live in, how the answer to the worlds problems lies behind our dietary choices, and how changing a lot of peoples minds is easier than changing the mind of just one person.

Thanks to Dan, and to Animal Rising, and thanks for listening.

"We’ve created a national conversation that’s led to millions of people reassessing whether they agree with horse racing for the first time in their lives."
