The Vegan Pod by The Vegan Society
Welcome to The Vegan Pod – a podcast by The Vegan Society – where, each month, we’re joined by different guests to discuss a topical issue in the vegan realm. With athletes, vets, nutritionists and more asking questions from “Is a plant-based diet really enough to fuel an athlete?” to “Do companion animals make vegans hypocrites?”, our goal is to educate, inspire and help you on your vegan journey.
The Vegan Pod is available to listen to on Podbean, as well as Spotify, and Apple and Google Podcasts.

LATEST EPISODE: Can art be used as a form of vegan activism?
In the latest episode of The Vegan Pod we’re turning our sights to the art world and talking to two vegan artists, Rebecca Lanyon Wilmott and Philip McCulloch-Downs, about how their veganism intersects with their artwork, about using art as a form of activism and how to ensure all of your art materials are animal-friendly.
Rebecca is an activist artist and mother of two young children living in Lancaster. Her art is centered around encouraging connection with nature, peace, justice and sustainability – she does this both through her art practice and in her creative community workshops using vegan art materials. Rebecca's art encourages conversation about awareness of how art can be a tool for radical change that everybody can access.
Philip became vegan in 2005 after starting work at an animal rights charity and he then became a committed animal rights artist in 2014 after his painting of photographer Jo-Anne McArthur went viral on social media. He was one of the first members of the worldwide collective 'The Art of Compassion Project'.
Join us as we discuss their journeys as vegans and artists and ask how effective art can be as a tool for spreading the vegan message.
