After a hiatus that was a bit longer than what we’d intended, we’re back after a move to the City of Brotherly Love. On this show, we talk about our recent experiences after the move, roll some of your voicemails, and also have Professor Gary Francione on in what will become a regular segment on VFR.

Thanks for your patience and support, and we will be back again soon.

The Vegan Freak headquarters are moving! In our last podcast from the Northern New York elite fortress, we bring you much rantiness in our Meat (and cheese) Makes you Stupid segment and as we answer your tweets and voicemails.  We talk about everything from why you shouldn’t give up on your medication to why logic and facts will make you no friends, and why we think it’s a little crazy to eat just bananas and romaine lettuce every day.  

Soon we will be coming at you from our new urban digs in the Illadelph, so stay tuned for a new show in June!

This week on Vegan Freak Radio we are joined by Chris Hannah of Propagandhi to talk about music, activism, living one’s principles, jingoistic sporting events, eating foodies and….oh, yeah, and Propagandhi’s new album, Supporting Caste, out March 10th around the world. We play two excelllllent tracks from the new album, which is sure to please old and new fans alike.

Of course, we put the exciting stuff with Chris in the second half of the show. In the first half, you have to suffer through our witty banter, which includes us pondering why anyone would call 911 about chicken McNuggets, and our discussion of how masculinity and meat eating constructs even the identities of our companion animals. Plus, we talk about what “vegan-plus” means (hint: nothing) and we respond to your tweets and voicemails.

We know that some of you might pooh-pooh the idea of celebrating Valentine’s Day, but once you hear Joy’s ideas, you might change your mind!  She presents a delicious menu that you can use to impress your date, or celebrate with family and friends.

In regular VFR fashion, we also discuss shared exploitations of humans and animals, soy still making you gay, and we respond to your tweets and voicemails.  

(Paying subscribers: a PDF of Joy’s recipe will be in your RSS feed in iTunes or whatever you use to get our podcasts. Alternately, there will be a link for direct download in the announcement email for the show, which is sent to the email address we have on record for you.)

Things aren’t as they used to be at the start of this podcast. Old man Bob opens the show by talking about his recent brush with hipsters on the “new fangled space radio.” We then go on to talk about a distrubing case of snowmobilers thrill killing deer, and we further discuss how more youths would probably claim to have seen extraterrestrials than are vegan. We close out the show with voicemails and emails, and give subscribers a special little extended edition.
