Welcome back to another episode of the PBN podcast!

Today we have Philip Lymbery Global Chief Executive of animal welfare charity 'Compassion in World Farming'. 

Philip is an ornithologist, photographer, dedicated animal advocate and award-winning author who has been leading Compassion for more than a decade.  His critically acclaimed books, Farmageddon: The true cost of cheap meat, and Dead Zone: where the wild things were, were the first mainstream books to show factory farming as a major driver of wildlife declines and at the heart of what needs to change to stave off the climate, nature and pandemic emergencies now facing humanity. His third book, Sixty Harvests Left: How to reach a nature-friendly future, will be published by Bloomsbury in August 2022.

CHEESE But Not As We Know It - David Bucca On Precision Fermentation

This week I’m excited to welcome to the show a very exciting guest - animal, climate, and human rights activist and founder of APEX Advocacy Christopher “Soul” Eubanks.

After discovering the horrors of animal exploitation, Soul became vegan, began doing community organising, and helped co-organise Atlanta’s first-ever animal rights march.

In 2021 Soul founded APEX Advocacy, a non-profit animal rights organisation that uses digital content creation and grassroots activism for animal advocacy. APEX Advocacy aims to increase the number of BIPOC individuals who participate in animal activism by empowering their activism, providing them professional and personal development, and building greater equity in the animal protection movement.

How To Achieve Collective Liberation - Christopher Eubanks on Fighting For Animals & Humans Alike

Welcome back to another episode of the Plant Based News podcast. I am joined today by renowned American author, teacher, and vegan educator Camille DeAngelis, best known for her acclaimed novel "Bones and All”.

Originally from New Jersey and currently based in Washington, DC, Camille considers herself a writer for all ages. Her previous work includes novels, practical philosophy, and the Moon Guide to Ireland, which she regularly updates. She is the author of two books of nonfiction: Life Without Envy: Ego Management for Creative People and A Bright Clean Mind: Veganism for Creative Transformation. 

Her best known work to date – the award-winning novel “Bones and All” – was first published in 2015 and was recently turned into a film, starring Timothee Chalamet, which premiered in 2022. The novel tells the story of a young woman named Maren, who is plagued by a compulsion to eat the bones of the people she loves. The book explores themes of love, obsession, and the nature of family, as the protagonist sets out on a journey to understand her condition and find a way to live with it.

After being a longtime vegetarian, Camille became vegan in 2011. She pursued her interest in the vegan movement further and in 2013 became a certified vegan lifestyle coach and educator through Victoria Moran’s Main Street Vegan Academy.
