Why Tone Policing Needs To Die In A God Damn Dumpster Fire!

This week Paul and Andy’s blood is boiling as they dive into a discussion about tone policing. Using an ill-conceived public statement from a prominent vegan figure, they’ll dive into what tone policing is, why it doesn’t do anyone any damn good and why it’s important to learn to stay in our lane.

The Ghosts In Our Machine – Film Review

This week Paul and Andy bring you the next installment in their Retro Film Review series, where they revisit (or visit for the first time) animal rights films that were released before the inception of the podcast. This time around, they are reviewing The Ghosts In Our Machine, a 2013 documentary that follows renowned photographer Jo-Anne McArthur’s efforts to bring wider attention to topics that most of humankind strives hard to avoid. The film is a unique addition to their animal rights film collection and they have a lot of fun discussing its pros and cons.

Is It Unethical For Companies To Ban Meat?

This week the bearded brothers talk about the We Works “meat ban” in which they announced that any food purchased with We Works money would not be allowed to be used on meat (oddly, minus fish). This means that all food provided at company functions as well as food that would be expensed under travel and entertainment. Is this a great move for the animals and the environment or is it an infringement on freedom of choice? What logistical problems are involved in enforcing this policy? Is it just virtue signaling at it’s finest? You bet that the Bearded Vegans dig in and try to find some answers.

Plus Andy recounts a Beyond Burger based tale of terror at the Alamo Drafthouse, they discuss their experience at the Atlantic City Vegan Food Festival and much much more!

Learning from Restaurants’ Reactions to Protests – Episode 139

This the bearded duo bring you a conversation that draws from a variety of news stories all regarding the wildly varying ways that various restaurants and butcher shops have responded to vegan protests and vandalism. While some take the high road, others resort to calling protestors terrorists. The one through line is that in every case, it seems that the end result is better publicity and more customers for the establishments being targeted. With the opposite of the desired effect being achieved, they examine what went wrong and what could be done better in the future.

Plus they break down the week’s news and visit Drop Squad Kitchen in Delaware.

Should Vegans Embrace Non-Vegan Animal Advocacy Groups? – Episode 138

This week Paul and Andy ponder whether non-vegan animal advocacy groups are allies to the vegan movement or if embracing them is counter-productive to animal liberation. Should vegans join vegetarian groups. Should vegan groups operate under the term “vegetarian” in order to create a larger umbrella for potential members to gather under? They do their best to find some answers.
