I’m very happy this podcast exists. The hosts ask great questions and I learn a lot from each episode
How I Learned to Love Shrimp has significantly affected my life. It motivated me to join the movement as an activist and increase my donations to vegan causes. The interviews (thanks to James’ thoughtful questions and conversations) have also helped me establish a framework to find places where my time and dollars can make effective change that aligns with my values. Thank you for continuing to make this podcast, James, I hope you know it’s making a difference.
Wrote this podcast off at first judging a book by its cover. Actually, found a lot of really valuable insights that I wouldn’t have found elsewhere. Really enjoyed the episode with the fish welfare/charity entrepreneurship guy - helped me consider charity entrepreneurship as a path for myself.
