Vegans Talking Shit

About Vegans Talking Shit

Vegans are a controversial, much-maligned group, but we're all just regular human beings who live, love, and laugh. And man, can we talk shit. Join Jon, Vanessa, and Joey as we talk shit about what it's like to be vegan. Every week, we'll be talking shit about a different topic related to living a vegan lifestyle; the good, the bad, and the ugly. But since we seem to be completely incapable of staying on topic, we also talk shit about music, movies, comic books, and anything else that might come up during the conversation. So tune in to Vegans Talking Shit, available weekly on Apple Podcasts, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

   Vegan Favorites

   It's only two-thirds of The Tofu Trio in this episode, as Jon is off bringing home the vegan bacon. For an episode that's probably best experienced on YouTube, Joey and Vanessa catch up on life and share their ultimate vegan favorites, which extend way beyond the kitchen. The conversation begins with an immediate detour, as Joey talks about a Brazilian film he recently watched, leading Vanessa to set the record straight on how cinema constantly gets her home country wrong, making it seem much...

   Non-Vegan Voices: Peter

   Joey welcomes his longtime friend Peter to this Non-Vegan Voices episode of the podcast.
