It’s back! Humane Food Podcast Season 2

After an incredibly successful first season, host Brian Daly is back as host of Season 2 of the RSPCA’s Humane Food podcast.

Listeners from all over the world downloaded Season 1, in which Brian interviewed industry experts, covered topics about animal production and welfare, and educated audiences on how their food goes from farm to table.

Season 2 will grapple with topics that we know interest Australians, including male chick culling in the egg industry, the use of antibiotics in farming, humane handling of farm animals, and one of the biggest animal welfare issues of the decade, live animal export.

With thousands of caring Australians campaigning to stop the export of sheep on the Al Kuwait last week, the RSPCA made the decision to bring forward the episode Live export: why is it still happening? Released today, the RSPCA is expecting listeners around the country to tune into this episode and hear from the RSPCA Australia’s Dr Bidda Jones and Dr Jed Goodfellow themselves on this important issue.

Research commissioned by the Department of Agriculture has found that 95% of Australians are concerned about farm animal welfare, and whether he’s speaking with a senior scientist or a celebrity chef, Brian delivers informative, enlightening 20-ish minute episodes that will shed light on some of the issues Australians care most about today.

“The RSPCA has been advocating for improved farm animal welfare for decades, and our podcast offers listeners an insight into the work we do with farmers, some of Australia’s largest brands and the government,” says RSPCA Humane Food Manager Hope Bertram.

“We want the public to be able to make more informed choices about what they consume, so we have been encouraged to delve deep into the food industry, and really explain the story behind what we prepare at home or when eating out.”

Season 2 is available now, with weekly segments dropping on Wednesdays. Subscribe for free wherever you get your podcasts, catch up on Season 1, and be sure to leave us a review (this helps others find us).
