In this episode, we sit down with Earthling Ed for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation on Veganism, empathy, and why calm, respectful dialogue can be one of the most powerful tools for change.

Recorded in 2018, this conversation captures Earthling Ed at a pivotal moment in the modern animal rights movement. He shares his personal journey from quiet Vegan to global activist, his approach to street outreach and education, and why speaking truth without shouting often reaches people more deeply than confrontation ever could.

We explore the role of research, effective communication, and compassion in advocacy, as well as the challenges activists face as Veganism moves from being mocked to actively resisted. Earthling Ed also reflects on building community, the importance of grassroots action, and his long-term vision for a kinder world for all beings.

This episode is both a time capsule and a reminder that empathy, patience, and consistency remain at the heart of lasting change.
