A much loved returning guest from season 1, Ed is vegan educator, public speaker and co-founder of Surge and The Official Animal Rights March. The past year has seen him spreading the vegan message to Ivy League students across America and opening his own non-profit vegan diner, and this week he takes time to pause and reflect on where the vegan movement is in the public consciousness now.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also on this episode...</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is veganism winning?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What the Ivy League students have to say about veganism.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is there space for joy in activism and how do we balance our personal lives with activism?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Should we all be full time activists?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How much is the government helping/hindering the animal rights movement?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robbie and Ed go head to head in a battle for the title of nerdiest vegan as they share who reads the most science and medical journals.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ed explains his reasoning for skulking around farmers chat rooms under the alias Farmer Ed (joke).</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ed has a surprising suggestion for the person he'd most like to see go vegan…</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow Earthling Ed on</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/earthlinged/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/earthlingedpage"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Facebook</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVRrGAcUc7cblUzOhI1KfFg"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> YouTube</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ed's</span> <a href="https://earthlinged.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">website</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ed's animal rights organisation,</span> <a href="http://www.surgeactivism.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Surge</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The</span> <a href="http://www.theofficialanimalrightsmarch.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Official Animal Rights March</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ed's</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byTxzzztRBU"><span style="font-weight: 400;">TEDx Talk</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ed's</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0-vfvJOzr4"><span style="font-weight: 400;">speech at Harvard</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> </ul> <p><strong>Social Media:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Twitter:</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/ChickPeepsPod"><span style="font-weight: 400;">@ChickPeepsPod</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram:</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chickpeepspod/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">@ChickPeepsPod</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Facebook:</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChickPeepsPodcast/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">@ChickPeepsPodcast</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Momoko Hill:</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oh_momoko/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">@oh_momoko</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robbie Jarvis:</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/RobbJarvis/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">@robbjarvis</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tylor Starr:</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tylorstarr/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">@tylorstarr</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Evanna Lynch:</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/msevylynch/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">@msevylynch</span></a></p>
