New Podcast: Episode 42

by

It’s Tuesday already so that means another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast.

Josh and I spend some of this week’s episode remembering Brisbane, especially the relentlessly warm weather. I’ve been considering relocating to Australia and have been thinking about the realities of living there.

It’s not all perfect, that’s for sure!

We also discuss the absolute garbage state of transphobia in the UK right now and how crucial it is for us all to support trans, non-binary, and intersex people.

Trans Rights, Bath Bombs, And A Bit Of Hope On The High Street

by

You know how sometimes a vegan bath bomb is more than just a vegan bath bomb? This is one of those times.

LUSH, the high street favourite known for fizzy tubs and bold campaigns, has launched something that genuinely made me pause and smile. And not just because it smells lovely or looks cute sitting on the side of your bath.

The Liberation bath bomb is all about standing up for trans lives and celebrating the kind of future we should all want to live in.

Why Vegans Should Care About Trans Rights

by

Sometimes people ask why I talk about more than just food on this blog. Shouldn’t a vegan blog just be about plant-based eating, restaurant tips, and which vegan sausage roll is London’s finest?

For me, veganism has always been about more than what’s on the plate.

If we’re talking about justice for animals, how can we ignore justice for people? If we’re pushing back against systems that profit from suffering, how can we turn a blind eye when those systems hurt our fellow humans?

That’s why I believe vegan activists should care about trans rights.

New Podcast: Episode 41

by

The latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is online now for your viewing and listening (dis)pleasure.

In this DIY podcast, Josh and I talk about whatever comes to mind. So, what comes to mind in episode 41?

The conversation this week deals with the emotional rollercoaster of clothes shopping to reflections on the passing of Pope Francis and the process of picking a replacement.

We also have a lot to say about celebrity space flights. Katy Perry joined Jeff Bezos’s pointless rocket club and we ask why billionaires are wasting resources on space tourism when there is so much work to do here on Earth.

Along the way, we chat about vegan potluck etiquette, the reality of supporting local businesses over Amazon, and the gay acting expertise of Stanley Tucci.

The podcast this week takes an even more personal turn than usual.

Josh and I chat about our individual struggles with overeating, mental health, trauma, and the reality of turning to medication for help.

It’s not a lighthearted conversation so please go into it prepared. I’d love to hear about your own experiences managing similar issues if you feel comfortable sharing in the comments.

New Podcast: Episode 37

by

The latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is out in the world right now!

It’s episode number 37 and this week Josh and I get busy chatting about religious and spiritual things, including how some people give thanks through acts or gestures if something goes their way in life.

I’m an atheist and Josh identifies as slightly spiritual, so we give our hot take on all these things.

We also chat about the intriguing story of Robia Scott, a one-time back up dancer for music legend Prince. Robia has a fascinating tale including having been in a Debbie Gibson video, dancing on tour for Pet Shop Boys, being one half of Diamond and Pearl for Prince, and now living as a faith-based weight management and life coach!

Episode 36 Of The Podcast Out Now

by

We were told by a friend that we are a bit negative on the podcast!

In the spirit of doubling down on this negativity, this week’s episode finds us talking at length about the 9/11 attacks. I recently watched a video about the ongoing task of trying to identify victims through DNA examination. Absolutely grim but completely fascinating.

Josh and I also talk about the best Dolly Parton impersonator currently performing, our memories of pop band Five Star, and the vegan doner kebab fast food chain with a location in York.

As always, there is a bit of everything in the conversation. We might be negative, but we are also diverse!

Vegan London Is Disappearing: Podcast Episode

by

Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is back with episode 31 and this outing is full of complaining.

Complaining about capitalism, greedy landlords, and the disappearing cultural landmarks of London at the hands of rent gouging.

Josh and I chat about how close it is to completely unsustainable for independent businesses to survive in the UK as we mourn the loss of several high profile vegan restaurants.

We also discuss the threat to other cultural landmarks such as The Prince Charles Cinema. How will this erosion of our celebration spaces end?!

A quick recap if you are new here.
