Conversations on Compassion Podcast artwork

Compassionate people are our kind of people and here at Animal Aid we want to empower everyone to make this world a kinder place for animals. So, each episode we invite you to join the Animal Aid team in delving into a thought provoking discussion with our guests – from celebrities, to scientists, to animal rescuers – on what living kindly means to them. We also discuss the latest positive news in the animal rights movement, answer your burning questions and have (maybe too many) conversations on the latest vegan junk food. We hope you enjoy listening to what is basically four friends gushing over cute animals and vegan burgers for an hour every fortnight, whilst also tackling some challenging topics in a positive way.
