VeganFreak Radio Vegan and Animal Rights Podcast

Hey, we’re back! Are you a vegan radical? Most people would say vegan equals radical, especially if you promote veganism over, say, welfarism, or if you don’t think it’s okay to buy used leather. We talk about several articles that mention how the vegan alternative is the radical one – and we say yes it is, because it gets at the root of the problem – including the debate on vat grown meat, new “free-range” egg farms, and an excellent piece from Peace...more

This week we’ve decided to review various products that we’ve tried lately, including a B12 patch and teese vegan cheese, as well as three recently published vegan cookbooks: Vegan Express, the Asian Vegan Kitchen, and Refresh (links below).

As we explain in this podcast, our lives have been unusually crazy and so we apologize for the delay between shows.

This week, we discuss a recent Mark Bittman article from the New York Times in which the author presents a fairly compelling argument for veganism—without arguing that one should go vegan! We also discuss a piece that argues that eating organic is “meating” vegans halfway, and we roll your voicemails, which are, as always, full of vital topics for discussion. Thanks for listening. We’ll be back again soon for another episode.File Download (80:18 min / 58 MB)

This week, we chronicle the newest aspects of an emerging segment of so-called “conscientious” meat-eaters. Stacked with proud carnivores who are attempting to be “ethical” while still eating animal products, these folks raise their own animals and eat them, wax poetic about meat, and even start idiotic meat-centric magazines. We travel into the hell that is foodie-meat-love, show you its sordid underbelly, and provide lots of commentary. In addition, we discuss recent ...more

This week in what is sure to be a provocative show, we talk with Nathan J. Winograd, author of Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No Kill Revolution in America. In the interview, Nathan discusses the no-kill approach, why the big organizations like PETA and the HSUS are wrong in their approaches to sheltering animals, and how we can work to save the lives of millions of animals by working in our own communities. This is an interview not to be missed! Nathan Winograd ::...more

And as always, we offer up comments on other miscellaneous topics such as a study involving mice and a cardboard cutout of Paris Hilton, and responses to more voicemails. We’ll be back next week with our int...more
