We chat about the conspiracy theories, how people are responding in terms of activism and discussions around veganism, considering the flaws of capitalism, the social implications of the pandemic and the importance of self-care and looking after our mental health.

Please bear with the sound quality at times - it’s the first time we’ve tried to record separately and without our usual setup.
