Jamie's Corner (Jamie Logan)

Good Day Mates! I had the pleasure of interviewing Louise Ward, State Director of the Animal Justice Party in Australia. Louise joins us to talk about the importance of getting our voices heard in parliament, social justice strategy, and the devastating massacre currently happening to Australia’s native animal kangaroos.

Everyday Louise works on issues related to animal rights to pass laws to assist the wellbeing of animals. With two Members of Parliament and two Councillors elected, the Party is already taking huge steps forward for animals - holding the government to account, and introducing bills and motions to end animal cruelty. 

It’s been such an honor to speak to Louise and I hope you guys enjoy the episode! *This Episode is also available on Spotify, Apple, Google Play. Follow us: https://www.animaljusticeparty.org https://www.itsjamiescorner.com

Shalom everyone. If you didn't know, that means hello in Hebrew. Today Rabbi Akiva Gersh A.K.A The Vegan Rabbi joins us to talk about how Judaism and Veganism go hand in hand. We discuss how embracing a vegan lifestyle can align with Jewish values of compassion, kindness, and tikkun olam, which means "repairing the world" in Hebrew.

Rabbi Akiva Gersh, a passionate advocate for ethical eating, sheds light on the significance of kashrut (the Jewish dietary laws) in promoting a deeper connection with nature and a heightened awareness of the food we consume. He shares fascinating insights into how Jewish teachings encourage responsible stewardship of the Earth and the creatures that inhabit it.

During our conversation, Rabbi Gersh addresses some of the commonly misunderstood phrases in the Bible that have been used to justify certain dietary practices. He clarifies that ancient texts may have been interpreted differently over time, and he encourages listeners to explore the true essence of these verses in the context of compassion and kindness.

Rabbi Gersh also shares his personal journey to finding veganism and religion and shares inspiring stories of how the Jewish community has been embracing plant-based living, incorporating compassionate choices into their traditional recipes, and celebrating plant-based holidays.

Join us for a thought-provoking and eye-opening discussion as Rabbi Akiva Gersh, The Vegan Rabbi, bridges the gap between Judaism and veganism, revealing how both paths can lead us towards a more harmonious and compassionate world. So, sit back, relax, and prepare to be enriched with wisdom and insights on this compelling episode of our podcast. Shalom!

On today's episode, I am joined by health and wellness coach Sarah Rusbatch to discuss alcohol and the grey area of drinking. Sarah is passionately leading the alcohol-free movement in Australia and she is going to share her journey to sobriety, the incredible benefits she has discovered in her new healthy lifestyle and how she ultimately went about quitting drinking for good. 

Perhaps you drink when you feel stressed, when you need to ‘take the edge off’ after a long day at work? Or maybe you only drink when you're out with friends or at a social gathering? It’s possible you also often take extended breaks from drinking, don’t drink every day and no one around you would ever say you have a drinking problem. But inside, you know you aren’t comfortable with how you are using alcohol, you know it’s starting to take more than it’s giving and you know you want to change, or end, your relationship with alcohol. That's where Sarah comes in.

This episode has certainly positively impacted my life and I hope it can do the same for you!

What the hell is up? This week, author, researcher and abductee Alan Steinfeld joins me to talk all things extra terrestrials. Who are they? Why are they here? And should we be afraid?

Alan describes how his love of science fiction as a child turned into reality when he was abducted by aliens in Arizona. Decades of research, conversations with others who’ve had similar experiences, cattle mutilations, crop circles, uncovering hidden government files, and UFO sightings have led him to one undeniable conclusion: The Aliens are here. But why?

His book, "Making Contact" explores humanity's profound connection with extraterrestrial life, the implications of their presence, and how we can prepare for a future shaped by these extraordinary encounters. In this episode, I challenge Alan to reflect on the parallels between the experiments aliens conduct on humans and the ones we perform on non-human animals. If we wouldn’t want it done to us, should we be doing it to them? Enjoy the episode! 📚 Order the book:https://www.amazon.com/Making-Contact-Preparing-Realities-Extraterrestrial/dp/1250773946

Introducing Jamie's Corner Podcast! First and foremost I'm an activist, but I'm also a filmmaker, athlete and a 23 year old maniac. On the show we will have amazing guests who will speak to all of you about nutrition, health, wellness, veganism, spirituality and healing. I get super specific with these people... I wanna know everything from morning and nighttime routines to the freaking skincare they use on their bums. I mean, why not? We must know.

In this episode, I tell you a little bit about myself, what to expect on the podcast for future episodes and also I chat with my boss, the one and only Jordan Ehrlich from CaveLight Films. He's a good time and also a brilliant filmmaker that I've gotten the opportunity to learn from over the past two years. I swear he's the only guy that can actually deal with me for more than a week–so props to him.

If you are familiar with Drop The Knife or Under the Vegfluence, this podcast will be an extension of that and I will re-release some of those incredible episodes on here. Excited to launch this platform and thank you SO much for your support. Much love xoxo!
