Baby chicks mailed by the national postal service, animal testing lab whistleblowers getting threatened by mysterious powers, polar bears allowed to be hunted, despite being in danger of extinction: this is Canada in 2025, as it faces what could be the most consequential election in its history, fighting an economic war with Trump's United States. In today's episode, I am joined by the inspiring Liz White, leader of the Animal Protection Party of Canada, for one of the few conversations exploring what is at stake for the billions of animals whose fate will soon be decided at the ballot box.

Bill Rodgers ★ Regan Russel ★ William Sweet ★ Fernando Pereira ★ Bartolomeu Morais da Silva ★ Mike Hill ★ Tom Worby ★ Jill Phipps ★ Karel Van Noppen ★ David “Gypsy” Chain Beth O’Brien ★ Robert “Naya” Bryan ★ Barry Horne Those are the names of the activists featured in the Fallen Warrior section of the North American Animal Liberation Press Office website, animalliberationpressoffice.org. In other words, those are activists who have payed the ultimate price, their life, for standing up to animal abuse and exploitation. In today's episode, I invited Dr. Jerry Vlasak, a press officer and long-time animal rights activist, by profession a trauma surgeon, to remember those heroes and reflect upon their sacrifice and legacy. We also remember those who have sacrificed their freedom for the animal cause, most notably Marius Mason and Maxim Plokhoi who are still serving their sentence in prison.

A week ago, I came across the Kickstarter campaign of a vegan couple named Tom & Sol, to launch their fantastic illustrated book called Reynard the House-Wolf, which is all about escaping the city, reconnecting with nature, and growing curious, compassionate and loving towards our fellow animals. The message behind this project, its philosophy, and just how thoughtful and talented Tom & Sol are, compelled me to support their Kickstarter campaign and invite them on the show for an incredible conversation on their journey out of the city and the power of their art.

For decades, we've held a clear and widely accepted picture of what prehistoric humans were like. Central to that narrative is the belief that they followed a so-called "Paleo diet"—a diet consisting of whole foods, heavily focused on animal proteins, while avoiding grains and legumes. However, a groundbreaking study published this year challenges that claim. According to this research, our ancestors' diets were predominantly plant-based, including grains and legumes. This revelation suggests that early humans might have been more accurately described as gatherer-hunters rather than hunter-gatherers. How did such a misconception about prehistoric humans arise, and what does this new discovery tell us about our identity as a species? To delve into these questions, I’m joined by Dr. Hadar Ahituv, the lead researcher behind this study. Dr. Ahituv is based at the Laboratory for Ancient Food Processing Technologies (LAFPT) at Haifa University’s Zinman Institute of Archaeology.
