  • Really wanted to like this, but the negativity is off-putting

    I’m always excited to find vegan podcasts, and I like many of the topics the hosts cover. The episode about Ikea was really interesting.

This show is different, the hosts discuss topical issues related to veganism in a thoughtful way. They are also funny and entertaining, as well as intelligent. I’m looking forward to going back and listening to more past episodes, but even more than that, list... more
