Wed, 01 Sep 2021 18:00:00 +1000

This episode is a different one to all previous episodes as I had a somewhat controversial guest on the show. Tash Peterson (or Vgan Booty on Instagram) is a notorious animal rights activist with tens of thousands of followers online and a history of activism targeted at the agriculture industry. In no way do I endorse or agree with what she has to say, but as someone who has personally spoken against Veganism and been the target of abuse from Vegans online myself, rather then ignore this issue I thought why not tackle the issue head on and find out more about the other side of the issue?
