After fifteen great shows, Diana is leaving The Vegan Option. She’s continuing to talk about evolution, animals and ethics – blogging at Sentientist.org and tweeting as @Sentientist. (“Sentience” means the capacity for feeling and consciousness, so the name captures both her academic interests and ethical principles.)

It’s obvious to listeners that we were a couple. I’m sad to say that Diana leaving the show is part of us amicably going our separate ways.

The show was (mostly) my hobby, which Diana kindly graced with her wit, ideas, and expertise. She’s a natural radio presenter, and I hope her voice continues to be heard on waves and web.

My hobby remains creating interesting radio that just happens to be vegan. There are some great shows coming up, and I’ll blog about plans soon. One thing there isn’t going to be is another permanent co-host: pundits and expert guests will, I’m sure, keep me on my toes.

The next show – about what to feed cats – is almost ready. I hope you’ll like it.
