Blimey. That's the good news; the bad news is that it takes us 37 minutes to get to some good news this week! Still, knowledge has the potential to empower us, so we stand by reporting on these things. This week Ant is back & joins Shane dissect nine bits of news from the last week  in the vegan & animal rights space.

Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights. With the Vegan Week podcast, we aim to keep listeners (& ourselves) informed & up-to-date with the latest developments that affect vegans & non-human animals; giving insight, whilst staying balanced; remaining true to our vegan ethics, whilst constantly seeking to grow & develop.

Each week we look through news stories from the past 7 days in the world of veganism & animal rights.

If you spot any news stories that might catch our fancy, or have an idea for a discussion topic, get in touch via [email protected].
