   Are We Really A 'Nation Of Animal Lovers'?

   The Vegan Society's second Empathy Index is out and has some (mainly) encouraging data about animal use - and some data that aligns very closely with Project Phoenix's latest research into attitudes towards factory farming. But how do we reconcile people's expressed values about animals and what they actually eat, wear and use? Alexander Huntley from The Vegan Society and Project Phoenix's Dr. Laila Kassam discuss the data and the dilemma on the Vegan Pod.

   Geoff Francis: 55 Years Vegan - Music, Art & Activism

   This episode of the Vegan Pod is a nostalgic celebration of how one man’s commitment to the cause helped spread the vegan word around London’s creative scene in the 1970s and 80s. Geoff Francis ran a chain of record shops, All Change Records, in London's West End and was involved in animal advocacy, working alongside the likes of Linda McCartney, Carla Lane and Captain Sensible, before establishing himself as an artist, author and film-maker. Geoff's story isn't just one for vegans of a 'certain vintage'; it's an inspiration for all vegans, young, older and somewhere in-between.
