Katie, Lottie and Nick go through common characteristics of cults and whether any of them apply to veganism. We also discuss if those that do apply just to some vegans, or are inherent to veganism. Throughout the show, we draw on Katie’s childhood experiences in a cult, Amanda Montell’s book Cultish and the podcast episode ‘The Cult of Veganism’ by Sounds Like A Cult.
