The Urgent Case For Building Community

The following is an excerpt from Fat Gay Vegan: Eat, Drink and Live Like You Give a Sh!t. (Nourish Books)

Latest Podcast Episode: Number 32

Tuesday is podcast day around these parts.

Every Tuesday morning, Josh and I post a new episode of our very DIY and low-effort podcast to YouTube and Spotify.

In episode 32, we discuss the concept of malicious compliance. This refers to doing the correct thing or following the rules even when it causes hardship or concern for someone else. I love this term so much and the discussion had me chuckling about an example involving ABBA’s Dancing Queen.

Take a listen!


You can also watch/stream on Spotify.


You can order my book ‘Fat Gay Vegan: Eat, Drink and Live Like You Give a Sh!t’ online now. It has been out a while now but is still a good read. You can also listen to the Audiobook read by me!
