The Valley Vegan Podcast

What a week it has been and what a way to end it with the death of Kobe Bryant. I am not a sports person anymore so, this man dying doesn't mean much to me. I have my opinion on his passing and it may come off as harsh, but it is more of a reflection on life and how some people act like it is such a huge deal that he is no longer with us. I also cover some big news in the artificial meat world with an unlikely financial backer plus some other equally exciting articles. You won't want to miss this episode. TUNE IN NOW!!

This segment, I cover which celebrity decided to take the plunge into veganism, which industries are trying to make that change and my thoughts on why using the phrase plant-based may be harmful to veganism in general. A very basic, but informative, episode coming at ya! TUNE IN NOW!

What a segment we have this week! Tons of vegan news ranging from why the dairy free sector is lagging behind plant-based cheese to Snoop Dogg and how shameless he has become in slinging every product that trends; in this case, Beyond Meat breakfast sausage sandwiches. Definitely a fun episode and has a little something for everyone. TUNE IN NOW!!

This segment, we got a few important topics here; a new dietary discovery, what is happening overseas and how one comedian is shaking things up in Hollyweird. This is different from my other segments? Maybe, but you'll have to listen to hear all the fun. TUNE IN NOW!!!

Our first official vegan podcast segment of 2020! What a crazy one at that. This time around, we look at influencers, a deep look at a Smithfield Foods, PETA and what it means to be a true vegan faults and all. You'll definitely want to check this one out. TUNE IN NOW!!

Happy new year! Have I got a treat for all of you. Last night, I decided to be very stupid and drink nine beers. In an hour. No, not Coronas, Bud Light or Buttwiper. I'm talking high ABV craft brews that will mess you up and they did. Did I do it alone? Hell no. I was joined by one of my good friends Nocterminal, also known as Jenarro Vestuto, who is an up-and-coming music artist and has contributed to this podcast more times and I can count; he even created a special intro song just for this recording! All was going fine with the material until...he fell asleep! No use crying over spilt co-host so, thankfully, my equally inebriated best friend up north wanted to battle on Age of Empires II while we nursed our buzz. While we played, we discussed life, our future, friendship and all that sentimental horseshit. Both conversations have been combined and edited for your listening pleasure and, trust me, a lot of it is hilarious. I will be back to my usual stuff in a week or so, but, for now, enjoy our drunken tirades and have a great 2020 all! TUNE IN NOW!

It is Christmas eve and that means last minute shopping. That also means some of you are preparing your meals for Christmas day, stressing out over what to make and how to deal with certain family members who give you gifts that are less than desirable. Hey, it is the thought that counts, right? Right?? Well, if you're a vegan, it can be tricky to handle unexpected non-vegan gifts, but how do you react to those? I got you covered! I give you holiday tips on how to be classy about those situations as well as deliver some news about our friendly pollinators making plant-based living a pleasure rather than a crisis. TUNE IN NOW AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
