Andy Tries To Convince Paul To Not Work For A Vegan Non-Profit – Ep 209

This week, The Bearded Vegans bring you an unconventional mini-episode in which they simply have a conversation about Paul’s future. As he nears the end of his post graduate studies, he is left wondering whether it’s better to go work at a non-profit or to take a job in the corporate sector. Does the ability to make more money, and thus donate it to others doing good, but vastly underfunded, work justify working for a large corporate entity that doesn’t align with his values? Is there such a thing as a truly vegan job? How do we weigh out struggling under the weight of capitalism while still providing for ourselves and staying active for justice? Where is the line?!

Overcoming Apathy – Ep 205

In this week’s mini episode, Paul and Andy respond to a listener question wondering how can we overcome apathy in those who agree that animals should not be exploited but just don’t care enough to actually make any changes that would align their actions with that belief? Additionally, they’ll discuss what it truly means to “care” and whether or not we should spend out time trying to convince others to care.

Should We Make A Big Deal About Our Veganniversary? Ep 203

In this week’s mini episode Paul and Andy discuss the California Fur Ban and the respond to a listener question asking whether we should make a big deal about our veganniversary. Is such an occasion a time to brag or boast, a time to make educational posts, or should we consider our number of years vegan to be of little importance? Does celebrating veg anniversaries put too much attention on vegans and not enough on the victims? They’ll do their best to dig in!

Can Children Choose To Be Vegan? Live From Triangle Vegfest – Ep 195

The Bearded Vegans return from their summer break with a mini episode recorded live at the Triangle Vegfest in Durham, NC. They begin by answering a listener email asking whether young children have the mental and moral capacity to choose veganism for themselves. While it is clear that humans of all ages can thrive on a plant based diet, at what point are we able to make ethical decisions for ourselves and how can a parent navigate this tricky time in a child’s life? They then go on to discuss whether demanding separate cooking surfaces makes veganism look too hard before turning the mic over to the audience for a variety of questions. Paul and Andy had a lot of fun at this one, enjoy!
