Pick of the Best of the Vegan Pods (a proposal)
October 29, 2013
No-one can keep up with all the vegan videos and podcasts that are coming out!
I’d love to be able to download a regular sample of vegan content – like the “Best of the Left” podcast, or BBC Radio 4’s “Pick of the Week”. It would gives everyone even remotely interested in vegan stuff a taste of what they might be missing.
I don’t currently have time for another project. But in the hope that someone else will like this idea and run with it, I’m summing up the six things that would, I hope, make this work. Interested? Please say in the comments.
1. Varied
Something with short clips (no longer than five minutes) from different (say three) sources, without going back to the same source too often. (By “source”, I mean a YouTube channel or particular podcast.)
The Vegan Option
December 7, 2012
We’ve been producing The Vegan Option for over a year, and covered an amazing range of topics – lab meat, judging people, vegan childhoods – and interviewed some really interesting people – Benjamin Zephaniah, Vegan MPs, Peter Singer, Gary Francione.
I’ve come back to say I’ve got no plans to update this site, and to welcome you to The Vegan Option for really interesting radio that just happens to be vegan.
Thank you for sharing my first foray into podcasting, and I hope you’ll join Diana and I at The Vegan Option if you haven’t already.
Radio Silence
April 3, 2011
We have a new podcast in production – cheeky, longer, focussed, and co-hosted with someone who can tell me to shut up. But it’s not going out until it’s ready.
What does the UK election mean for animals?

Here not to protest, but to defend the right to protest
October 25, 2009
As tweeted, I have spent some time with climate campaigners. I hope the tweets gave a hint of the atmosphere. This is about why I was there, and why I will not be making a podcast about it.
Tell Bill what to do next
September 13, 2009
Would you tune into a monthly show of London-centred news and interviews? Or would a magazine of the best vegan-related audio from around the web be more fun? What would keep enticing you back?
How did I podcast on the road?
September 5, 2009
Interviewing people and recording things on the road was a bit of a challenge. For those interested, here is what I used and what I thought of it.
