Vegan Week
Enough of the Falafel
Frequency: 1 episode/4d. Total Eps: 187

Weekly vegan news show, with headlines, commentary & discussion.
Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights. But there's one problem: We've had enough of all the "falafel" out there!
Each week we release two different shows, hosted by a different combination of everyday vegans. No celebrities; no influencers; just normal vegan people from across the world!
With the 'Vegan Week' podcast, we aim to keep listeners (& ourselves) informed & up-to-date with the latest developments that affect vegans & non-human animals; giving insight, whilst staying balanced; remaining true to our vegan ethics, whilst constantly seeking to grow & develop.
A few days later we release another weekly show: 'Vegan Talk'. Here we'll pick a topic affecting vegans, or the animal rights movement & go into a bit more detail, whether it be through philosophical musings, weighing up different viewpoints, or simply sharing our own experiences.
If you spot any news stories that might catch our fancy, or have an idea for a discussion topic, get in touch via [email protected].
Thanks everyone for listening; drop us a message to say "hi"; it'll make our day!
Much love, from
Ant, Julie, Mark, Dominic, Kate, Paul, Carlos, Luke, Rich, Tom, Alex & everyone else at the Enough of the Falafel collective!

94- Should Lily Allen be allowed to adopt a companion animal?
lundi 2 septembre 2024 • Duration 01:02:15

82- Should vegans go to Glastonbury?
jeudi 11 juillet 2024 • Duration 47:53
Does patronising the Glastonbury Festival end up bankrolling a dairy farm? Can vegans really justify this, for what is surely a frivolous non-essential part of life? Or is it the case that the event has so much potential to stimulate new vegans & other intersectional issues, that this should be overlooked? Dominic, Richard & Anthony explore where their individual 'line' is on this sort of issue.

81- Have the Labour Government actually U-Turned already?!
lundi 8 juillet 2024 • Duration 52:33
All the hope of a new Government in the UK...dashed before it's even begun, as incoming DEFRA secretary Steve Reed changes his mind on Badger Culls, potentially resulting in the lives of a further 30,000 more badgers being unnecessarily ended. Sigh. Still, there's hope, with impending legal action & a petition to sign from the Badgers Trust (https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/cull). Rich, Dominic & Ant discuss this and several other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights-related news.

80- Do we need to liberate humans to liberate animals?
jeudi 4 juillet 2024 • Duration 40:24
Author Zane McNeill argues that the animal rights movement isn't doing enough to support the liberation of marginalised workers & is fact complicit with the continued oppression of vulnerable persons. So do we need to truly liberate humans in order to liberate animals? Would a single unified movement be more efective? Or are there differences between human & animal liberation that means they need different approaches? Anthony & Julie have their thoughts provoked by this one.
Here's the article in question...
https://nonprofitquarterly.org/why-the-animal-liberation-movement-must-liberate-workers-too/#:~:text=Zane%20McNeill&text=While%20the%20COVID%2D19%20pandemic,pandemic%20and%20continue%20to%20deteriorate.

79- "Those vegans don't want bigger cages, you know?!"
lundi 1 juillet 2024 • Duration 51:27
As well as blocking us from accessing their website, US mega-chain Denny's have this week "called out" animal rights' advocates...for the fact that they want animal agriculture to come to an end. Whilst this might seem obvious to most listeners, is this in fact a new approach for animal ag apologists to take, and does it risk invalidating our argument as 'too extreme'?
Julie & Ant discuss this and several other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights-related news.

78- Are animals conscious? And does it matter?
jeudi 27 juin 2024 • Duration 42:04
A new thought piece was published last week by BBC Science correspondent Pallab Ghosh (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv223z15mpmo) discussing the latest in scientific research pointing to 'consciousness' in an increasing number of non-human species. So are animals conscious? And is that even an important question to be asking? Anthony, Julie & Carlos get philosophical with this one.
