Sometimes you have just got to relax and take a break – focus on something else than your busy schedule. While commuting to school or work, during your lunch break or when having to wait in between meetings or classes – why not listen to a podcast in stead of scrolling down your phone aimlessly? To help you out, we’ve listed a few podcasts that are super nice to listen to if you’re interested in vegetarianism, veganism, ethics or sustainable lifestyles!

1. Food for Thought

“Celebrating a way of life that encompasses compassion for everyone, this podcast addresses all aspects of eating a compassionate plant based diet. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau answers FAQs including those regarding animal rights, living among non vegans, food, cooking, nutrition and debunks the myths surrounding these issues. In some episodes classic short stories involving animal rights and perspectives are read & discussed.” (veganfeed.com)

2. The Bearded Vegans

“As we have grown since our inception, the podcast has become a place for in depth, honest, unapologetic and often uncomfortable discussions about the ethical grey areas of veganism. Through these conversations we aim to figure out how to create a stronger, more effective, and inclusive animal rights movement. We rarely reach any solid conclusions, but we have a lot of fun and share many laughs along the way.” (thebeardedvegans.com)

3. Plant Gourmet

“These are conversations that go beyond PR soundbites, and dive deep.  Chefs talk about their journeys, the nitty-gritty of running plant-based restaurants, and specifics about ingredients and menu development.

For enthusiasts and those in the business, Plant Gourmet is an essential resource to track where we are with food today, and where the future will take us.” (plantgourmet.com)

4. Vegan Warrior Princess Attack!

“Vegan Warrior Princesses Attack! is a podcast with in-depth, firey discussions of social justice issues by two modern day vegan warrior princesses!

Taking a pro-intersectional approach to their activism, Callie and Nichole “attack” a wide range of topics from an anti-capitalist, feminist, anarchist, vegan perspective. … We talk dating advice, boundaries, consent culture, advocating for yourself and your ethics, how to build community, and doing vegan activism in a way that is not oppressive. Plus, rants, tangents, dad jokes and more from two hilariously and unapologetically angry women.”  (veganwarriorprincessattack.com)
