What the hell is up?! In this episode, I sit down with @DrFarazHarsini , CEO of Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP), and campus coordinator Christian Maxey to talk about what we've learned after thousands of conversations on college campuses across the country. We dive deep into the question: What actually changes someone's mind? We discuss: - Why the vegan message should never be watered down - Why "bigger cages" and welfare reforms miss the point - How one conversation can completely change someone's life - The psychology behind effective outreach - Why universities are the most important battleground for animal rights - How ASAP is building the future of the vegan movement - Practical outreach tips you can start using today This isn't just a conversation about activism—it's about creating a world where going vegan isn't an accident, but an intentional choice everyone has the opportunity to make. If you've ever wondered how to become a more effective advocate for animals, this episode is for you. If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share it.

What happens when a rebellious New York kid raised around yoga ends up arrested for armed robbery—and then dedicates his life to spiritual practice? In this episode of Jamie's Corner, I sit down with senior Jivamukti Yoga teacher Jules Febre to discuss his remarkable journey from growing up around Sharon Gannon and David Life, to discovering yoga through personal hardship, to becoming one of the most respected teachers in the Jivamukti tradition. We dive into suffering, karma, trauma, activism, veganism, ahimsa, parenting, spiritual bypassing, and one of the biggest questions facing the yoga community today: Can someone truly practice nonviolence while continuing to eat animals? Whether you're a yogi, vegan, activist, or simply someone trying to live with more compassion, this conversation offers a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of what it means to put spiritual principles into practice. 👇 Let us know in the comments: Can someone fully embody ahimsa without being vegan? 🎧 Jamie's Corner is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube!

What the hell is up? In this episode of Jamie’s Corner, I sit down with Anmol, an animal rescuer and caretaker at Govardhan Eco Village in India, where I’ve been spending the past month during my Jivamukti Yoga training. We talk about the reality of animals in India — from the millions of stray dogs living on the streets to the complicated relationship people have with cows, dairy, and traditional culture. Anmol shares his story of growing up eating animals while rescuing them… and the moment he realized he couldn’t keep doing both. We also dive into some big questions: • Why do people sometimes harm animals? • What is the most effective way to reduce suffering? • Is euthanasia ever ethical? • What role does spirituality and yoga play in animal rights? • And can traditions evolve toward greater compassion? We also talk about the real solution to the stray dog crisis in India: spay and neuter programs that prevent millions of animals from being born into suffering. Helping animals here is surprisingly affordable — and Anmol has started an animal shelter here with two operating rooms for spay and neuter costing under $25 per surgery. This conversation is honest, sometimes uncomfortable, and ultimately hopeful. Because change doesn’t happen overnight… but it does start with a conversation.

What the hell is up everyone? Today’s episode is a hard one… but an important one. I’m sitting down with Bonnie Klapper (animal rights lawyer) and Brandy Cherven (Executive Director of Run 2 the Rescue) to talk about the reality of the dog meat trade — what’s actually happening beyond the headlines, beyond the Yulin festival, and beyond the myth that this is just “cultural.” We break down: • How rescue operations actually work • The massive paperwork + costs to bring dogs to safety • The emotional toll of watching cruelty — and how they keep going • Heartwarming rescue stories (bring tissues) • Why saving one life still matters This conversation isn’t just about dogs in China. It’s about the line we draw. Why do we love one animal on the couch… and eat another on a plate? Why does cruelty shock us in one context but feel normal in another? If you’ve ever felt outraged watching footage from Yulin… this episode will challenge you to expand that compassion across the board. 🐾 Want to support Run 2 the Rescue?

What the hell is up? In this episode of Jamie’s Corner, I sit down with longtime animal rights advocate and PETA veteran Ashley Byrne to unpack a difficult but necessary conversation: how infighting, online drama, and activist-on-activist attacks are weakening the animal rights movement—and why powerful industries benefit from it.From trolls and bots to clout-chasing creators and even historical examples of infiltration, this episode explores how division is manufactured, why it spreads so easily online, and how activists can protect their energy, their mental health, and the animals by staying focused on the bigger picture.This is a conversation about unity without uniformity, disagreement without destruction, and how to handle conflict in a way that actually creates change.If you care about animals, activism, or social movements—this episode is essential listening. Key topics:• Why activist infighting is so damaging• Industry smear campaigns and division tactics• “Vegan-on-vegan” harassment and misinformation• How to respond to trolls without fueling them• Self-care and emotional regulation for activists• Why the animals don’t care about our politics🎧 Jamie's Corner is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube! 👉 Follow us:itsjamiescorner.competa.org📚 Instagram:instagram.com/itsjamiescornerinstagram.com/ashlovesmongo🙏 Support the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/itsjamiescornerSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4EfzXcBI227SSYcTS55kqo?si=53863a4ac58d4c88Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jamies-corner/id1616904718 🕙 CHAPTER MARKERS: 00;00;00;00 — Why Division Weakens Movements 00;02;05;12 — Unity for the Animals (Episode Purpose) 00;03;41;25 — When Attacks Come From Inside the Movement 00;06;08;08 — There’s No “Right” Way to Be an Activist 00;09;27;23 — Industry Smear Campaigns & Manufactured Conflict 00;14;26;03 — How the Outside World Sees Vegan Infighting 00;20;19;00 — Infiltration, Bots, and Paid Division 00;24;11;07 — Healthy Disagreement vs Destructive Drama 00;37;31;25 — Self-Care, Equilibrium & Activist Longevity 00;58;47;03 — Final Reminder: It’s About the Animals

In this episode of Jamie’s Corner, Jamie Logan sits down with Andy Stepanian — animal rights activist, SHAC 7 defendant, and former political prisoner — for one of the most raw and revealing conversations we’ve ever had on the show. Andy traces the path from early environmental activism to the SHAC 7 campaign, explaining how strategic pressure can expose corporate cruelty and bring down multi million dollar industries. He shares the deeply human side of being a political prisoner — the isolation, the unexpected community, and the fight to stay vegan and stay sane inside solitary confinement. We dive into prison life, unexpected friendships with people labeled “terrorists,” and the lessons he carries forward to today’s movement — including why activists must unite, how identity politics can fracture impact, and what we must do right now to support activists like Zoe Rosenberg, facing years for rescuing chickens.

Join us for a powerful conversation with Poorva Joshipura, the Director of PETA India as she recounts her 25 years on the front lines of the animal rights movement. Poorva dives deep into the realities of activism, sharing the "chicken burger" moment that changed her life and how she overcame shyness to become a global advocate. She reveals the shocking truths uncovered during investigations, particularly within the Indian dairy and meat industries, and discusses the myths surrounding the treatment of animals in the region. This episode explores why animal rights is intrinsically linked to human survival—from climate change and public health threats to social justice. Drawing on her books, For a Moment of Taste and Survival at Stake, Poorva offers insights on dealing with the emotional toll of the work, navigating difficult conversations with family, and how every individual can drive meaningful change. 🎧 Jamie's Corner is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube! 👉 Follow us: itsjamiescorner.com https://www.petaindia.com 📚 Instagram: instagram.com/itsjamiescorner instagram.com/petaindia instagram.com/poorvajo Links to Poorva's Books: https://www.amazon.com/Survival-Stake-Treatment-Animals-Existence/dp/9356994722 https://www.amazon.com/Moment-Taste-Impacts-Animals-Planet-ebook/dp/B084VD5D8J?ref_=ast_author_mpb 🙏 Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/c/itsjamiescorner Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4EfzXcBI227SSYcTS55kqo?si=53863a4ac58d4c88 Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jamies-corner/id1616904718 🕙 CHAPTER MARKERS: 0:56 Meet Poorva Joshipura Director of PETA India 1:38 The Journey to Animal Rights Activism 3:12 The "Chicken Burger" That Changed Everything 4:28 Overcoming Fear and Discomfort as an Activist 5:08 Why We Must Speak Up for Animals 6:50 Investigations: Behind the Closed Doors of Abuse 7:04 The Truth About Animal Industries in India 10:46 The Shocking Reality of the Indian Dairy Industry 13:48 The Unimaginable Cruelty of the "Khaal Bachha" Practice 14:49 Why We Must End the Idea of Animals Serving Humans 15:32 Protection Mechanisms & Staying Motivated 17:29 Advice for Dealing with Friends & Family 20:01 Why Focus on Animals?

What the hell is up? On this episode of Jamie’s Corner, I sit down with my beloved teacher, Yogeswari, during the 300-hour Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training in India. We dive deep into the core tenets of the Jivamukti Yoga method, which explicitly link spiritual practice with action—centering on devotion, ahimsa (non-violence), and activism. With over 20 years of teaching experience, Yogeswari shares how yoga can be a powerful tool for inner growth and outer change—fostering self-love, personal transformation, and deep societal impact. She also opens up about her work founding the Azahar Foundation, which brings healing and education to communities in post-conflict zones such as Rwanda and Cambodia.

On this episode of Jamie's Corner, I sit down with the extraordinary Radhanath Swami, a world-renowned spiritual leader and New York Times best-selling author. This conversation goes far beyond the surface, exploring the deep connection between our inner spiritual lives and our ability to create real, lasting change in the world. Swami Radhanath shares his journey from a 1960s civil rights activist to a global spiritual teacher. We dive into his work, including the incredible Govardhan Eco Village and the Mid-Day Meals program that feeds over a million children a day. He challenges us to look inward, asking a powerful question: What is the difference between a dog and a cow? We discuss why true compassion for others—whether they are people, animals, or the environment—is rooted in our own spiritual enlightenment. Swami Radhanath explains that you can't truly change the world unless you're willing to change yourself first. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to have a greater impact, live with more meaning, and understand that the most powerful activism begins with the heart. 🎧 Jamie's Corner is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube! 👉 Follow us: itsjamiescorner.com https://www.radhanathswami.com 🙏 Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/c/itsjamiescorner 🕙 CHAPTER MARKERS: 0:00:00 - The Cow, the Dog, and the Question of Compassion 0:01:00 - Who is Radhanath Swami?

What the hell is up? This week, author, researcher and abductee Alan Steinfeld joins me to talk all things extra terrestrials. Who are they? Why are they here? And should we be afraid? Alan describes how his love of science fiction as a child turned into reality when he was abducted by aliens in Arizona. Decades of research, conversations with others who’ve had similar experiences, cattle mutilations, crop circles, uncovering hidden government files, and UFO sightings have led him to one undeniable conclusion: The Aliens are here. But why? His book, "Making Contact" explores humanity's profound connection with extraterrestrial life, the implications of their presence, and how we can prepare for a future shaped by these extraordinary encounters. In this episode, I challenge Alan to reflect on the parallels between the experiments aliens conduct on humans and the ones we perform on non-human animals. If we wouldn’t want it done to us, should we be doing it to them?
