Vegan Freak Radio

15 May 2007

If you haven’t already, check out the Vegan Freak podcast. It can be a little ranty, but it’s quite entertaining. Bob & Jenna are great radio hosts and they answer a lot of their listeners’ questions. You can even leave voicemails for them on their website. It’s a lot of fun!

Note: there’s a lot of profanity, so if you’re offended easily, I’d stay away.

This is why I’m not an activist…

I’m not saying activism is bad or anything (and maybe I’m biased because I’m totally weak in the knees for Ira Glass), but…


Why is Regina Spektor part of this clip?

I have to admit, he does kind of make animal rights activists out to be kind of crazy, but hey– what’s new? I say you can at least laugh at it, you know? Take it with a grain of salt.

Also, the vegan freak podcasters actually came to a positive consensus about the clip in last week’s vegan freak podcast. I’m with them on this issue — talking about his conversion in such a public forum is very cool. And he was skeptical at first, too, which makes it even better.

*Note: I’m for personal choice. I may make some vegans mad, but I’m not one to force my views on other. I’m happy to discuss alternate lifestyles with people interested in making the switch, but I want them to make the first step.

And YAY FOR IRA!! Now all three of my old man crushes are at least vegetarian!

Another reason I love radio

let's get baked!

You know, I have my first exam of the semester tomorrow; I have over 30 pages of writing due in the next 2 weeks; I have writer’s block. So what am I doing at 10:58 pm when I should be sleeping or writing or registering for the next semester?

…Okay, so I’m making roasted red pepper hummus. BUT! I am also listening to my new infatuations: Mat & Dave.

These Canadian guys host an adorable vegan podcast called “Lets Get Baked With Mat & Dave.” Each week they make a recipe with a featured guest (generally a band or something), play catchy music & make me hungry & inspired. I suggest you subscribe and fail all your finals like me. (I hope that feed works; if it doesn’t, just go to the website.)

Oh! There’s also a backlog on their website of all the episodes that feature a ton of yummy recipes.

And vegan baking boys are so cute.
