Our guest on today’s show is Meg Edge. We chat about Meg’s career as a vegan professional athlete in MMA (mixed martial arts), and discuss straight edge and the hardcore scene. Bio: Meg is a self-described jack of all trades, master of none. Over the past decade or so, she has worked for and volunteered with various animal rights and conservation organisations, as well as having been a professional athlete (yes, a vegan one) and coach. She is a writer and a musician, currently in Naarm-based hardcore band TIMEPEACE and previously in the staunchly vegan Straight Edge band Judas Wolf. She currently lives on Wadawurrung Country with her furry family – Mahoney, Rogue, and Bean.
