We explore Aiyana's evolution from mainstream vegan activism to their creative projects centring anti-speciesism and collective liberation. Aiyana guides us through some of the concepts and language from her recently published book. In ‘Radical Companionship: Rejecting Pethood & Embracing Our Multispecies World’, Aiyana offers a theory and praxis of how we can develop more respectful relationships with others through an anti-speciesist lens, with particular focus on individuals he terms as 'colonised into pethood'.

Roger Yates has been an ethical vegan and rights-based animal advocate since the late 1970s.

Roger shares with us his path into the AR movement and veganism, and gives us an insight into the often overlooked radical nature of the early vegan pioneers.

We explore the confusion in the movement, and ask whether we actually have an Animal Rights Movement at all.

Roger gives his perspectives on celebrity vegan culture, large international organisations and why grassroots activism is the backbone of the movement.

From wasps to Gary Glitter, via Tom Regan, ALF and a blow to the head from a police baton, Roger talks candidly, and with a generous slice of humour.
