Prior to rebranding as That Vegan Dad my YouTube and Podcast content was created as The Unrefined Vegan.
During this time I created six videos looking at and examining the harm that some vegans were doing to our movement and by their tone and approach were doing so in a way that puts people off and scares them away
End result - they go back to eating animals
Bonus result - they share their negative experience of veganism / interacting with us and share how bad it was with their friends and family who then think I'm never being vegan
Just stop it

If you want to see my happy smiley face on YouTube here is where you will find me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnP0qNVgqgLe7G-vwBDC_kA
This episode has been created from videos recorded in August 2021
In this bonus episode I have created a podcast from two of my YouTube videos on the subject of anti natalism. The discussion initially arose after having a conversation with someone whom stated that you can't be vegan unless you support anti natalism and that we are selfish for wanting children.
After decades spent battling alcoholism and other addictive behaviours to then find we would struggle to have children naturally this irritated the hell out of me that such a sledgehammer approach was deemed the best way to reduce our impact on earth.
This is a theory that I can not and will not ever subscribe to due to how dangerous this is.
I would be curious if as listeners you would like more bonus content such as this?

Important Update * - This show will now be rebranded to 'That vegan dad'* from this weeks episode. In terms of content very little will change so it isn't going off in a new direction but perhaps may from summer onwards have a little bit of parenting fun in there as well. I have wanted to make this change on my channels and socials for a while but I wanted us both to get to a place where we are not tempting fate by doing so.

Originally aired December 24th 2021
Before changing to That Vegan Dad, the show ran for six episodes as The Unrefined Vegan. This is the first ever podcast
Hi and welcome to my first ever podcast
In this first episode I talk to you about my journey to going vegan in 2018, how it all started and what was that transition like.
In this weeks food reviews I look at and try new smoky style cheese slices from Violife, Heck Sausages, the new takeaway range by Quorn, try some new plant milks (for me at least!) and manage to get some reduced Naughty Vegan Cheesecakes and try an incredibly disappoint vegan chocolate bar that costs over £3!
This weeks news stories touch upon The Guardian article around those who turn their back on being vegan face such backlash and intimidation. Also a fascinating story that claims a recent survey shows one third of UK residents want to try going plant based and how we can help. I also tackle the decision by Pringles to deveganize their products and finally the tragic loss of life of Glynn Steel and how e balance our need for vaccines and medications over our beliefs.
In the discussion section I talk about why Aldi is such a frustrating place to shop as a vegan and how we can hopefully try and change this and also the belief and response held by those who still consume animal product that It's My Choice and why I really can not agree with that statement.
