podcast an opportunity to break away from the snappiest style of videos I usually

make and have some long-form conversations with interesting guests and today I'm incredibly

excited to have Ed Winters more commonly known as Earthling Ed in the studio.

Thank you for being here.

Thanks for having me Alex, it's a pleasure to be here.

A lot of people have wanted you to come on the podcast.

It's really exciting to have you here because I've been watching your stuff for quite a while.

People kept sending it to me and I'd come across it and you have a style of in the in the kind of atheist skeptic community

there's this popular form of conversation known as street epistemology which you may have heard of it's like you know going out it's kind of like the socratic method asking questions trying to get people to to evaluate their own beliefs and it seems that that's kind of what you're doing.

It's slightly different to the kind of thing that people like Anthony Magnibosko would do, who's

kind of the big name of Street Epistemology, because it's a little bit more, here's my opinion, I want you to agree with me on something.

But it's a similar kind of approach, and I think a lot of people really respect that.

But aside from just doing that kind of thing, which I think you're probably most known for just

the videos where you're kind of talking to people in the street they're probably

your most popular stuff as well as that according to your about page you can tell

me if any of this is wrong you are a a vegan educator, public speaker and content

creator based in London. You're the co-founder and co-director of Serge. You also

produced the documentary Land of Hope and Glory, which was a kind of expose of English

factory farming, which has been a very affecting film on people, I think. and it says here you've spoken at over one third of UK universities is that true yes yes
