It's time for our new round up, full of progress and tattoos. After that, it's time to talk documentary - Game Changers! In other news, both the ladies are spinning, and loving it, but not the butt hurt.

Dani and Katt are vegans. They take a not-too-serious look at being a vegan in the real world, making jokes, puns, segues, cat sounds, and the occasional good point along the way. If you're a vegan or veg-interested, they're here to help and entertain. Updating every Friday.

It's not as sexy as the title makes it sound, but we're back! Dani, Katt and the Silent Producer Andy are all on board for this one to recap the missing month and have a long discussion about everything we missed and the wedding that happened. Spoiler alert, it was Dani and Andy's. She's now Mrs. Silent Producer.

Bonus episode for the 2 year anniversary! We did our best to record the Vegan Bosses panel we did at Central New York Vegfest in Syracuse, NY in mid October through all the wedding chaos. The audio quality is passible, but not the Silent Producer's usual standard, so he apologizes. If you came to the panel thanks for showing up and if you didn't, let us know you want more live things, it's a lot of fun getting to meet folks.
