Four podcasts on animal advocacy that I recommend:
Freedom of Species (part of 3CR radio station) Covers a wide range of topics relevant to animal advocacy, from protest campaigns to wild animal suffering to VR. More of its episodes are on the “protest campaigns” end which is less popular in EA, but I think it’s good to have an alternative perspective, if only for some diversification.
Knowing Animals (hosted by Josh Milburn) An academic-leaning podcast that focuses on Critical Animal Studies, which IMO is like the academic equivalent of animal advocacy. Most guests are academics in philosophy, humanities and social sciences. (and btw, one episode discussed wild animal suffering, and I liked that episode quite a lot)
The Sentience Institute Podcast EA-aligned. Covers topics ranging from alt proteins to animal-focused impact investing to local animal advocacy groups to digital sentience.
Animal Rights: The Abolitionist Approach Commentary (by Gary L. Francione) A valuable perspective that’s not commonly seen in EA. Recommended for diversification.
Off-topic: I also recommend the Nonlinear Library podcasts; they turn posts on EA Forum and other adjacent forums (LW, AF) to audio. There’re different versions that form a series, including a version containing all-time top posts of EA Forum. There’s also a version containing the latest posts meeting a not-very-high karma bar—I use that version to keep track of EA news, and it saved me a lot of time.
