  • Quality information relevant to me

    I’m not a gushy reviewer because I’m a podcaster myself and I like to think I have high standards. On this occasion, however, I will gush. This podcast always delivers. The guests are solid, the interviewer engaging, and the topics relevant to vegan living here and now. This one is a keeper.
