News just landed that Teesside University has signed a deal to serve hybrid burgers and sausages to over 20,000 students. Myco, the company behind the Hooba range made from vertically farmed oyster mushrooms, is now mixing its fungi with beef to create what it calls a planet-friendly option.
The logic? If meat eaters can’t give it up, why not meet them halfway?
Read my thoughts below.
The team behind the Myco deal: Michael Taylor, David Wood, Luke Atkinson and John Shepherd
If you love hearing people moan about bad manners, this episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is for you.
Josh and I rant about the lack of consideration shown by members of the public, especially on public transport and in crowds at live music events. Are people becoming less considerate and more anti-social, or am I just an old timer who is getting grumpier?
We also talk about the surprising cultural legacy of Cheers star George Wendt who sadly passed away last week.
There is a bit of something for everyone in this latest episode!

In this episode, Josh and I chat about about my upcoming trip to Brisbane, exploring family dynamics, queer nostalgia, and the strange comfort of returning to old haunts. From there, we dive headfirst into Britain’s political quagmire, analysing Keir Starmer’s recent statements, the creeping rise of Reform UK, and whether the Green Party has a real chance to shake things up. Is strategic voting broken? Can progressive politics survive the populist wave?
We also turn our attention to the bees and expose society’s double standards when it comes to environmental activism and animal compassion. We also discuss Alicia Silverstone’s surprising new TV project and the power of pop culture in animal rights.

Sometimes the most magical discoveries are the ones you aren’t even looking for and my trip to south London today had one of these unexpected surprises in store for me… of the plant-based variety!
There’s a lot to admire when it comes to how people raise awareness about veganism. Marches, campaigns, hard-hitting documentaries, online debates, digital content. It’s all part of the movement.
But me? I’ve always preferred to live loudly, openly, and unapologetically as a vegan while I create celebratory spaces. I like to plan parties and I want as many non-vegans as possible to join me.
There are a lot of options when it comes to vegan baked goods in London these days, but few match the pure joy and charm of this independent gem.
If you’re into cookies the size of your hand, brownies so dense they should come with a warning, and want it all without a trace of gluten, I’ve got something for you.
