Veganuary 2026: Kate's Vegan Journey (Originally released 2024)

Surely dog-lovers should be behind the idea of a pasttime allowing dogs to have a good old run around, and where they are the 'stars of the show'? In this episode, Dominic, Carlos & Ant examine the true nature of greyhound racing across the globe, and why it very much is NOT something that a caring and compassionate person would support.

In the discussion, we mention:

Karen & Ant

Veganuary 2026: Karen's Vegan Journey (Originally released 2024)

Perhaps only the Daily Mail could provide us with a quote to this effect, and so it has proved this week: Former Veganuary communications chief, Toni Vernelli, has provided the seemingly confusing sentiment this week that veganism is actually preventing animal suffering from easing....

No, we weren't quite sure either!

Nonetheless, Dominic, Shane & Anthony attempt to dissect this and eight other bits of news from the vegan & animal rights space over the last three weeks from across the world.

233- The Big Vegan Quiz of the Year: 2025!!!!!!!!!!

Weekly vegan news show, with headlines, commentary & discussion.

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. But there's one problem: We've had enough of all the "falafel" out there!

Each week we release two different shows, hosted by a different combination of everyday vegans. No celebrities; no influencers; just normal vegan people from across the world!

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.

A few days later we release another weekly show: 'Vegan Talk'. Here we'll pick a topic affecting vegans, or the animal rights movement & go into a bit more detail, whether it be through philosophical musings, weighing up different viewpoints, or simply sharing our own experiences. 

If you spot any news stories that might catch our fancy, or have an idea for a discussion topic, get in touch via enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com.
