For Podcast 11, I was very happy to be joined by the mighty Elizabeth Collins, vegan animal rights advocate, abolitionist animal rights stall holder, and host of the popular NZ Vegan Podcast.
I invited Elizabeth on my show to help me explore some aspects of the poverty of ambition that is prevalent in the contemporary animal advocacy movement. Elizabeth and I discuss, among other things, the issue of social movements "saying what they mean," and we take a critical look at the notion of "vegetarian first," the commonly-held belief that vegetarianism must be a precurser to veganism, and the false impression given that vegetarianism and veganism mean similar things in terms of the exploitative use of nonhuman animals and have similar philosophies.
This podcast was recorded via Skype, so the audio does momentarily drop out (only) a couple of times, but the general quality is good.
I hope you enjoy PC11 and the contribution of my first ever guest, Elizabeth Collins, who I'd like to thank for giving me some of her valuable time.

oops i made a boo boo in my talking - I meant to say "if only someone had talked to me about veganism rather than vegetarianism I would have gone VEGAN 10 years ago". It's at around 25 minutes.
What an idiotic absurdity it is to say that earnest, persistent, uncompromising moral opposition to a system of boundless immorality is the way to strengthen it; and that the way to abolish such a system is to say nothing about it!
~ William Lloyd Garrison (April 23, 1858).
