Our guest today is an activist comedian who this year performed at Vegan Camp Out. He recently took part in street activism with PETA, we the free, and our guest from episode 47, Jamie Logan.

You can find him on his wildly popular Dawn Chorus Instagram and TikTok pages, and if you’re hoping to see him in the flesh, well brace yourself because in December you’ll be able to find him at London veg fest.

Hopefully we’ll be able to get to the bottom of the Dawn Identity, with our guest Lee Brace.

She spoke on the Education stage at Vegan Camp Out this year, calling out petting zoos, and if you’re in Canterbury in Kent on November 1st, you can also see her at the UK’s first vegan theatre, the Garlinge theatre where she’ll be speaking following a screening of the fantastic film, @icouldnevergovegan. 

All this and I haven’t even got to mention the fact she’s appeared in Hollyoaks and Emmerdale! Our guest is Jodie, aka Green vegan (@greenvegan1).

In this episode we speak to the man who introduced Wez to fasting. James hosted the retreat which Wez attended earlier in the year, which had a huge effect on his viewpoints on many aspects.

Country music is the fastest growing genre in the UK at the moment, with songs by country artists hitting the charts and radio playlists. Major country stars like Carly Pearce have tours planned here in the next 12 months, and despite protests from my wife and kids, you can normally hear it in Matthew’s house or car. 

Our guest is a rising country star. He grew up in Washington state and has found his way to Nashville, Tennessee. His new single American Nights was released just before Independence Day, or as we call it over here, ungrateful colonials day. Of course, you can find it on all good music streaming platforms. We’ll link to it in the show notes. 

We’re looking forward to hearing three chords and the truth from our guest, Dylan Jakobsen.

You can find out more about Dylan here: https://www.dylanjakobsen.com/home
