John speaks with Alaanah and Lawrence – his fellow core team members at Antinatalist Advocacy. They introduce themselves, the organisation, and their plans for Antinatalist Advocacy going forward.

Shortly after this episode, Alaanah stepped away from the Antinatalist Advocacy team.

John speaks with host of the Exploring Antinatalism podcast Amanda 'Oldphan' Sukenick. They discuss the core ideas of antinatalist philosophy, the ins-and-outs of the antinatalist community, and how antinatalists can have more of a positive impact on the world.

John speaks with fellow antinatalist Michael (aka Vegan Space Scientist), a Researcher and Strategy Lead and at the Sentience Institute. They discuss the core ideas of Effective Altruism, the ins and outs of the EA community, and how people can use the core ideas of Effective Altruism and Antinatalism to make the world a better place.

John and Lawrence respond to philosopher Peter Singer – for many, the father of Effective Altruism – on the subject of antinatalism. In particular, they discuss if it is a harm to create sentient beings who will die prematurely (in this case, 'happy' chickens), and whether vegans and others looking to do good in the world should have children.

John and Lawrence respond to philosopher Will MacAskill, for many the leading figure of Effective Altruism, on the subject of antinatalism. Is antinatalism worth taking seriously? Would human extinction be bad? And are antinatalists welcome in the EA community?

John speaks with Carlos and Lenny - the guys behind the excellent ‪podcast Voidcast -‬ for a discussion on all things antinatalist activism and advice for fellow antinatalists looking to have a positive impact on the world.

John speaks with Benedictines the Truth to dive deep into the reasons for not having children. So, what are the strongest (and weakest) arguments for antinatalism? Is humanity a virus on this planet? And how should we talk to natalists about the harms of having children?

John speaks with Ash Wickety to dive deep into another one of our cause areas at Antinatalist Advocacy - animal agriculture. What does eating animals have to do with antinatalism? Do antinatalists have an obligation to be vegan? And should we keep veganism and antinatalism separate in our activism? Let us know your thoughts!

John speaks with animal advocate Jack (aka Humane Hancock) to discuss our third cause area at AA - Wild Animal Suffering (or WAS). What is WAS? Are we playing God by trying to protect animals in nature? And should we have children and turn the world into one big car park to prevent WAS?

John and Lawrence speak with Lenny and Conundrum for a 'criticisms panel' of Antinatalist Advocacy, where we handed over the reigns to our two guests to tear apart our work on AA so far. Should AA drop the word 'antinatalist' from its name? Which of our four cause areas are actually relevant for antinatalism? And why did we have such a bungled definition of antinatalism on our website?

John speaks with Professor Rivka Weinberg to criticise the two ideologies that guide a lot of our thinking at Antinatalist Advocacy, namely antinatalism and Effective Altruism. Can it sometimes be ethical to procreate? Does Effective Altruism hold up to scrutiny in both theory and practice? And is John hopelessly misguided for being a card-carrying consequentialist?

John speaks with returning guest Space Science Guy (formerly Vegan Space Scientist) to introduce our fourth and final cause area at Antinatalist Advocacy - Artificial Sentience. What on earth is artificial sentience? What does it have to do with antinatalism? And what, if anything, can we do to protect potentially sentient AI from the harms of coming into existence?
