The people behind plant-based living: musicians, scientists, athletes, activists and the occasional household name. We interview them because they have something to say, not because their faces sell.

Most read: Bring Me The Horizon on Dehumanized, Billie Eilish and why she keeps getting louder about it, and James Cameron, fourteen years in.

We also answer the question people actually type into Google: is this celebrity vegan, vegetarian, or just occasionally plant-curious? We check the record instead of repeating press releases, and we say so when someone quietly went back to eating meat.

Many of these conversations started on our PLANTBASED podcast.
