SUMMARY:Free the Beasts book launch and reception
DESCRIPTION:Following a live studio audience taping of The Calling All Vegans Show\, we will be celebrating NYC-based multimedia animal liberation and environmental protection artivists\, Artemis Beasts (aka Vilma Duplantier and Shelly Voorhees)\, at the unveiling of their stunningly gorgeous art + cookbook\, “Free The Beasts: Plant Based Activism”. Performance art\, plant-based food\, and activism come together to showcase the interconnectedness between human\, animal\, and nature\, to inspire peaceful co-existence and compassion for animals. \nBut the goodness doesn’t just live on the pages inside this book…10 percent of book sales and 30 percent of art sales will be distributed to @rowdygirlsanctuary \, @nyclass \, and @tamerlainesanctuary \, each doing crucial work for animals. \nOver mocktails and light plant-based snacks\, get to know the two anthropomorphic beings — half human animal/half non-human animal — who are featured throughout “Free the Beasts”\, where animals are not only NOT food\, but are instead in a position of great respect. \nThrough this book\, the Artemis Beasts are enjoying life\, good food\, freely expressing thoughts about animal liberation\, and presenting the abundance in the kingdom of plants. Their goal is for all of us to escape the broken\, dystopian\, animal-based food industry\, and live on a planet where all “beasts” are free. \nThe vintage elevator is up and running until 4:00! \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, June 20th at 1:30 (come a little earlier to pick your seat and get yourself settled) and be part of a live studio audience. \nFeel free to bring your lunch (but plant-based only). And you have our blessing to call your work and say you got “sick” all of a sudden\, or just give yourself permission to take a well-deserved loooong lunch before a weekend…and even don’t bother going back. We won’t tell! \nAnd because it’s a weekday\, the vintage elevator will be running! \nOn the brink of celebrating their 600th episode\, we have the entire VegOut Podcast crew on the set. The show is the longest-running of its kind in Toronto! Since they probably don’t want to lie on top of one another on the couch\, I guess we’ll have to put out a couple extra chairs for them. \nAfter all these years\, we FINALLY get to sit down with award-winning songbird and voice teacher\, Stephanie Braganza!\nAnd kitchen magician from north of the city\, Ryan Traversy\, the ginger behind Red’s Breads\, will be in da house! \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:LIVE Studio Audience Taping - Calling All Vegans
DESCRIPTION:Friday the 13th?!? Hope you’re not superstitious! \nJoin us Friday\, June 13th at 1:30 (come a little earlier to pick your seat and get yourself settled) and be part of a live studio audience.\nFeel free to bring your lunch (but plant-based only). And you have our blessing to call your work and say you got “sick” all of a sudden\, or give yourself permission to take a well-deserved loooong lunch…and even don’t bother going back?. We won’t tell!\nAnd because it’s a weekday\, the vintage elevator will be running! \nSome of us are more logical and data-driven and generally lead with our heads\, while others of us fall under the more touchy-feely and even artsy-fartsy\, creative column\, and tend to follow our hearts. Saarang Ahuja has a big toe in both categories. Tech guy by trade\, but busting dance moves and supporting animal rights projects as his passion. And he got to wear both hats while contributing to the groundbreaking film\, “Christspiracy”\, being both an executive producer and a data scientist on the project.

SUMMARY:LIVE Taping of the Calling All Vegans Show
DESCRIPTION:Be part of a live studio audience for a recording of “The Calling All Vegans Show” being held in the Wishbone Animal Rights Lab studio. \nDigital creator\, author\, award-winning filmmaker\, photographer\, former sanctuary worker\, and now the Executive Director of the International Vegan Film Festival (IVFF)\, Emma Schwarz will be first on the couch to talk about her various veganly ventures (oh\, how I do loves me some alliteration)\, including the festival itself. For complimentary tickets to the IVFF\, contact wishbonearlab@gmail.com! \nHe’s baaaaaaack. Our old friend and social media guru/sensation in the animal advocacy space\, John Oberg\, with his gazillion likes\, follows\, views\, etc.\, will be on Toronto soil the weekend of November 16 and 17. But he’s not just loafing around. Not only is he sitting down for an interview on “The Calling All Vegans Show”\, he will be doing what he does best and conducting a workshop on effective animal activism the evening before at the International Vegan Film Festival. \nAnd even though he has to catch a flight\, we’re hoping John will stick around to provide some loving heckling to his friend\, Emma. \nAnd we’re also hoping to have some surprise guests\, but we’re still working on it! \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Calling All Vegans Live Taping
DESCRIPTION:We’re back\, Jack! A much more descriptive write-up to follow\, but we are THRILLED to be welcoming Canadian filmmaker Jeremy LaLonde\, Montreal artist and activist Jenny Donovan\, and vegan vet and runner Ryan Flint. \nFYI: The building in which we record is nearing its 100th birthday and boasts one of the last addresses in the city which requires an operator attendant. Often on weekends\, the elevator rests\, meaning guests to Wishbone Animal Rights Lab need to take the stairs to the 3rd floor. Our apologies for the inconvenience! \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.
