  Ep 58 - The Vegans Are Coming | C.K. Gerstel | Author and Vegan Advocate

  Sep 28, 202649 minS1

  In this episode, we sit down with C.K. Gerstel , author of ‘The Vegans Are Coming’ , a sharp, satirical exploration of human behavior, cognitive dissonance, and animal exploitation. Describing himself as a chronic overthinker who notices where human reasoning starts to wobble, C.K. uses humour, philosophy and social commentary as a crowbar to pry open difficult conversations people usually prefer to avoid. Beyond his book, C.K. shares the vision behind his online hub, which includes ‘The Welfare Files’, a comprehensive set of resources on Australian animal welfare standards to equip advocates with factual data. We also discuss navigating social media as a tool for outreach and how to maintain optimism when facing the heavy realities of animal advocacy. Whether you are looking for new ways to talk to non-vegan friends/family or want a witty take on cognitive dissonance, this conversation is for you. It will change the way you view everyday social norms and help you become a more effective advocate.

  Ep 57 - The Call For Animal Free Science | Ric Allport and Mackenzie Cross

  Sep 14, 202655 minS1

  Trigger warning: In this episode, we do detail animal experimentation statistics and procedures which are distressing. We understand if now is not the time for you to listen to this episode and you are welcome to back to it at a later date. In this special episode, hosts Ric Allport and Mackenzie Cross recap the recent Animal Free Science protest at Sydney Town Hall, sharing personal reflections and the atmosphere of the protest. In talking with passers by, it became apparent that many people believe animal testing has already ended in Australia. This episode aims to expose the reality that millions of mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, cats, primates, fish, farmed animals and native animals are still subjected to cruel and painful experiments. We highlight snippets from key speeches at the protest, including Susan Sorenson (on behalf of Emma Hurst MLC), Flavia Coleman, Robyn Kirby (Animal Free Science Advocacy), Dr Kevin Coleman, Doug Leith, Lynda Stoner, Paula Wallace (Liberty Foundation). This episode documents the united front against animal testing and experimentation in Australia. Join us in advocating for these innocent animals hidden away in research facilities, bred for only one purpose, to suffer for so-called science.

  Ep 55 - Advocating for Stigmatised Species | Monika Ryniewicz | Ex-research Rats and Urban Pigeons

  Aug 17, 202645 minS1

  In this episode, we sit down with vegan activist and animal rescuer Monika Ryniewicz , who has dedicated her time to advocating for two of the most stigmatised and misunderstood species on the planet: rats and pigeons. Mon takes us inside her journey as a proud adopter of three ex-research rats from the Liberty Foundation. She shares what it was like to help her rats heal and experience simple joys for the very first time. Mon also busts the biggest myths surrounding rats, showing us why these intelligent, clean and affectionate creatures make extraordinary companion animals. We then shift our focus to the city streets, exploring Mon’s hands-on work with urban pigeon rescue and the widespread issue of string-foot (a painful condition caused by discarded human thread, hair and plastic getting tightly wrapped around their toes and feet). Mon walks us through how she safely catches and disentangles pigeons, offering actionable ways for everyday city dwellers to help protect urban wildlife. Whether you're curious about adopting ex-research rats, or want to learn how to help your local urban wildlife, this episode is a powerful look at how we can rewrite the narrative for two of the most stigmatised species.

  Aug 3, 202654 minS1

  In this episode, we sit down with Bhavani Baumann , the trailblazer who is veganising Australia's deeply entrenched pub culture with her 100% vegan pub, The Chippo Hotel . Located in Sydney’s inner suburbs, The Chippo is a historic venue that Bhavani has completely transformed into a vegan pub and bistro. From parmis, burgers and loaded fries to local craft beers and cruelty-free cocktails using aquafaba, The Chippo has fast become a neighbourhood favourite. Bhavani takes us through the daily realities of running an independent small business in the current economic landscape, and the secrets to winning over skeptical non-vegans. As a female publican, she shares what is top of mind when creating a safe and inviting pub atmosphere. Finally, we explore who Bhavani is outside of work – delving into her life as an independent singer-songwriter and how she finds balance amidst the demands of business ownership.
