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.
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.

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

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!

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!

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 new episode of the Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is released on YouTube and Spotify first thing Tuesday morning.
A quick recap if you are new here.
Josh and I are ex-partners of 20-something years wo are still very good friends. Each week we spend an hour talking about pop music, culture, politics, health, travel, and life as middle age gay men. Oh yeah… we record this conversation and post it online.
This podcast is extremely DIY and low effort. It is simply your chance to observe us sharing our memories and opinions with each other. Do not expect it to be polished and do not expect any research!
You can watch/listen to the latest episode on YouTube below. In this episode we chat about the dismal state of global politics, how dreadful singers end up in manufactured pop bands, and why so many pop starts end up supporting the Tories.

The latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast finds us chatting all things David Lynch, especially our memories of the acclaimed Twin Peaks series.
I was the perfect age to become completely obsessed with Twin Peaks back in 1990, falling in love with the hypnotic storytelling and the incredibly talented cast. Sherilyn Fenn and Billy Zane became true icons for teenage me.
A bit later in life, Lynch’s Mulholland Drive film cemented itself in my list of top ten films and I’ve now seen this in the cinema multiple times. There aren’t many movies for which I would use the term masterpiece, but Mulholland Drive is more than deserving of that accolade.
The podcast also finds us chatting about teeth issues we experience as we grow older and why young people seem to not want to use condoms anymore.
If you need two middle-aged gay vegan men complaining about a film released a decade ago, you’ve come to the right spot.
In the latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast Josh and I cover diverse topics, starting with my journey with dentures and their impact on my self-image. Heavy stuff! We explore societal perceptions of body image, especially the stigma around weight, before shifting to Hollywood’s power dynamics and how appearance influences success.
We also delve into the Jurassic Park franchise, with a focus on Jurassic World. Our discussion highlights issues like sexism, the male gaze, and the problematic messages around motherhood and fat characters.
Such a horrible movie!
Additionally, we address themes of racism, toxic masculinity, and the appropriation of the term “woke,” critiquing how these elements shape the film’s messaging.
