This is a podcast that wrestles with the intersectional quality of veganism. The importance of this approach to veganism cannot be understated. Engaging with veganism as a movement while having perspective on the larger social and political context is the only way to comprehensively unlock the praxis's value within human society and for the animals. I particularly appreciate how unafraid they are to critique capitalism (although they could benefit from coupling their theoretical rigor with a historical rigor more than they do (which I find to be more devastating to anti-anti-capitalist vegan (like a bas le ciel...whose critique of "left-wing politics" is far too flawed (even by his own standards)) arguments and assumptions). In doing so, they present a relatively strong anti-capitalist argument for veganism that is 1) too often ignored by the majority of commenters (I have seen or heard) in the vegan community (even as they craft their own anti-anti-capitalist arguments for vegan activism); and 2) painting a much needed picture of veganism that illustrates its compatibility with the wide range of human social experience around the world. In my opinion, this is a vital element for mobilizing any potentially successfully vegan movement in the future. If I have one major critique, I would say that much of their commentary could benefit tremendously from a more nuanced engagement with intersectionality. Intersectionality as a method can be very useful. However, sometimes they refer to intersectionality as an explanatory framework for oppression. This has such limited validity, I'm not sure its worth doing at all. In my view, recent academic discourse has put forth pretty devastating critiques of intersectionality as an explanatory framework, especially in the context of gender theory. Nevertheless, these two women have a podcast and individual youtube channels that are criminally undersupported by their vegan comrades.Read full review »

PREPPERS! I can't wait till my guest leaves so I can relax into my next episode. I'm so game...Read full review »

Oh my gosh, you have just put into words in your first sentence the way I have felt as far back as I remember, the same words, thoughts and feelings I have had and been made to feel like I am crazy for having. We have been socialised our entire lives to accept this as the norm and yet I have...Read full review »

Only one episode so far, but the hosts YouTube channels are great as well, and I really enjoyed the first episode. Made me think about some aspects of veganism in a different way. I hope they will make many more.
