Just dropped Ep 29 of Think Like a Vegan podcast which will recalibrate your understanding of veganism. I talk with the brilliant Roger Yates—sociologist & animal rights firebrand. He unpacked veganism’s radical history as a philosophy of TOTAL liberation. It’s not what you’ve been sold. It’s bigger
It’s an extraordinary and compelling film. I still think about it years after I first saw it.
