In late 2019, I approached Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka from Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law and Ethics (A.P.P.L.E) with an idea for a podcast. They were excited about the idea and as such A.P.P.L.E has been a sponsor of the podcast since the beginning, offering a contribution towards each episode to help with operational costs.
There is, of course, always more room for sponsorship. The podcast is primarily operated by me , Claudia Hirtenfelder, and the more sponsorship I am able to accrue the more time I am able to dedicate to the podcast and the development of more material. Here are the ways you can sponsnor the podcast:
As a research group you could:
-
Sponsor a season that is focused on a particular theme
-
Provide continued sponsorship to the podcast and give a an agreed amount per season or per episode
As a company or business with similar interests:
-
You could post up opportunities on Podcorn
As an individual:
-
You can Buy Me A Coffee
-
Rate the Podcast on Podchaser
-
Share the Podcast :)
If you would like to discuss sponsorship and/or ways you can support the podcast, please email me (Claudia) at info@theanimalturnpodcast.com.
Placing animals at the centre of our thinking
ABOUT THE SPONSORSHIP

The Animal Turn is currently sponsored by Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law and Ethics (A.P.P.L.E). A.P.P.L.E's goal is "to help bring ‘the animal question’ into the mainstream of academic research and public debate in Canada, focusing in particular on the moral, legal and political dimensions of how human-animal relations are governed."
"APPLE is delighted to sponsor the Animal Turn Podcast, and its in-depth interviews with animal scholars. The thematic organization allows listeners to dip a toe, or deep dive, as they wish, into each season's topic from multiple angles. It is a pleasure to join host Claudia Hirtenfelder as she explores complex issues in an innovative and open spirit of engagement."
