Ian is serious, British, and makes media. Diana is American, light-hearted, lectures and researches, and throws rocks at Ian from the pragrmatic end of the vegan scale.
We're already going out, so this is at least not a romcom.
We're smart, we're vegan, we don't agree about everything, but we do agree that a world of minds is more interesting than a world of things.
The Pledge: the London Vegan Campaigns challenge to go vegan for a month
(MP3 download) (other formats) (via iTunes)
The Pledge
We start our show at the beginning – when folk choose the vegan option. In this case, for a month, challenged and supported by London Vegan Campaigns. I talk to mother Ananthi and middle-aged couple Bryan and Cliff. What challenges will they come across? And will they last the month?
Diana has the statistics from three years of pledges, and finds out what makes people more or less likely to stay vegan. And she’s very surprised by what she finds.
So go on, press the play button. (Or, better still, subscribe via iTunes or your podcast catcher of choice.)
Our thanks to Ananthi, Bryan, Cliff, Lesley and our other contributors, and to London Vegan Campaigns for letting me record there and inviting Diana to analyse the data. Robb Masters wrote and composed our theme.
Other similar events, where vegan activists challenge and support pledgers to go vegan for a month, happen in Baltimore and Philadelphia in the US and Victoria, Australia. Colleen Patrick Goudreau has a book out on a similar theme, The 30-day Vegan Challenge.
I mentioned vegan podcasters Gary Francione and (should he return) Bob Torres.
