Best Vegan Podcasts
I LOVE podcasts. I'm a serial listener. I listen to podcasts about business, fitness, the news, and, of course, veganism. I have recently happened upon a couple of amazing vegan podcasts and I decided now was the time to update my resources list and highlight the best vegan podcasts out there!

Number of episodes... 336
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan
Format... Regular segments including news and rising anxieties as well as interviews
My favourite thing... A tie between the rising anxieties segment with Mariann and the incredible interviews!
The drawback... I wish they came out with episodes more regularly than once a week :)
Who would love it... Pretty much any vegan interested in changing the world for animals! (See what I did there?)
VEGAN WARRIOR PRINCESSES ATTACK!
Number of episodes... 76
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Callie and Nichole
Format... In depth discussion on a particular topic or an interview along with regular segments (like news)
My favourite thing... The joke in the middle and the incredibly interesting discussions they have on complicated topics!
The drawback... Once again, I wish the podcasts came out more frequently!
Who would love it... Vegan warrior princesses and princes who are interested in atheism, feminism, and intersectionality as well as veganism and have a sense of humour.
Number of episodes... 234
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Rich Roll
Format... Long form interview
My favourite thing... The variety in the guests as well as Rich's ability to ask thought provoking questions.
The drawback... Some interviews may not be your cup of tea as not all are vegan or involved in the vegan movement.
Who would love it... Those with a wide array of interests looking for inspiration in every area of their lives from health to entrepreneurship.
Number of episodes... 76
Release frequency... Monthly
Host(s)... Mariann Sullivan
Format... In depth interviews with lawyers about their animal law cases.
My favourite thing... The view into the world of law as it relates to animal welfare and protection.
The drawback... Sometimes I zone out when the discussion gets too technical - I'm not a lawyer!
Who would love it... Lawyers, animal activists, and those with an interest in the law and how it can harm or help animals.
Number of episodes... 101
Release frequency... Twice a week
Host(s)... Allison Melody and Suzy Hardy
Format... Interviews with doctors, nutritionists, chefs, and more about the healing effects of food.
My favourite thing... The positive vibe and the guests!
The drawback... Some of the spirituality episodes go right over my head.
Who would love it... Anyone who loves juicing, those who are hoping to heal their bodies with food, and those getting in touch with their spiritual side!
THE TEACHING JASMIN HOW TO COOK VEGAN PODCAST
Number of episodes... 8
Release frequency... Monthly
Host(s)... Jasmin Singer and Laura Delhauer
Format... Laura talks Jasmin through the creation of a recipe (you can cook along)!
My favourite thing... The banter and recipe ideas.
The drawback... I'd be more likely to follow along with a video podcast. And it makes me hungry.
Who would love it... New vegans looking to learn how to cook without animal products, long-time vegans who don't consider themselves good in the kitchen, and those with a sense of humour!
Number of episodes... 87
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Jackson Foster
Format... Interviews, Q&As, and topic discussions.
My favourite thing... The Q&A podcasts.
The drawback... Jackson is still quite young and that comes through in his podcast.
Who would love it... New vegans, younger vegans, and those interested in fitness and the environment!
Number of episodes... 147
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Matt Frazier and Doug Hay
Format... Topic discussions or interviews
My favourite thing... The non-judgemental, non-preachy vibe (not that the other podcasts are preachy! Matt and Doug are just very chill).
The drawback... I'm not a runner and so I won't listen to about 50% of the podcasts.
Who would love it... Vegan runners or runners interested in upping their diet game!

I would also love to know what your favourite format for a podcast is - interviews, Q&A, segments, big topics... let me know! (I may or may not be planning to start a podcast of my own once I reach my $500 Patreon goal!)
Happy listening!
Until next time,

The Potato Cleanse (Potatoes Gonna Potate)
All hail the great potato!
Ever heard of the 'Potato Cleanse' or the 'Potato Diet'?
I'm embarking on a 10-day challenge to eat a majority of my calories from potatoes. Because, potatoes gonna potate, am I right?
Potatoes are incredible. They have sustained populations through severe famine. They are a staple in my whole foods plant based diet. They are packed with nutrients. And they are delicious.
What could be better than ten days of mostly potatoes?

Potatoes are incredible. They have sustained populations through severe famine. They are a staple in my whole foods plant based diet. They are packed with nutrients. And they are delicious.
What could be better than ten days of mostly potatoes?
I began the potato 'diet' yesterday. I use the term diet loosely, as this is only a relatively minor shift in my eating habits. As I said, I already eat a whole foods plant based diet with few overt fats and a lot of potatoes, but for the next week and a bit I'm going to increase the percentage of calories from potatoes in my diet and eliminate other starches, legumes, and fruit. I wouldn't eat this way for any long-term period (I love fruit, beans, and rice way too much for that and wholeheartedly believe that they're essential to good health), but it is far better than many 'cleanses' and 'diets' out there that do not provide enough nutrients or calories and contain processed 'foods' or no food at all.
So what is and isn't allowed?
Basically, the idea is that you eat potatoes and non-starchy vegetables seasoned with spices and accompanied by oil and fat-free dressings and sauces, if you so wish. The point is to get the majority of your calories from potatoes and to supplement with other vegetables such as leafy greens.
What does a typical day look like?
Whatever you like! As an example I'll show you my first day on the diet:
Breakfast
- plain yellow potato fries
Snack
- more yellow potato fries
Lunch
- even more yellow potato fries and a baked sweet potato with sriracha salt
Snack
- baby carrots and cherry tomatoes
Dinner
- two huge salads (romaine, kale, cucumber, tomato) with a little nutritional yeast and vinegar as a dressing
- yellow and sweet potato chips with sriracha salt
- 2 baked sweet potatoes with pepper
When I plug my day into cronometer I come up with these results:
As you can see, I'm getting more than enough calories and 142% of my protein requirements!
All of my vitamins are covered with the exception of vitamin D (for which I spend time outside and take a supplement) and vitamin E. I'll be sure to pick up some spinach and broccoli to get enough for the remainder of the 10 days.
Minerals are also on point, though I'm just shy on calcium. The addition of spinach and broccoli will help on this front as well!
I consumed a ratio of omega 6:omega 3 of 1:5 which is far closer to the ideal of 1:1 than the SAD average of 16:1!
Where do you get your protein? From potatoes!
Why am I doing this?
I have a few reasons for trying out the potato diet.
- I ate barely any potatoes while on the ship and I missed them dearly.
- Potatoes are cheap and I've been saving for a wedding.
- Jason is away and it makes meal prep simpler to focus on one main source of calories.
- My diet hasn't been as clean as I would like since returning home and I want to kick start my way back into my preferred way of eating.
- I've been breaking out and I want to try removing potential causes of inflammation for a period of time before reintroducing them one at a time in the hopes of finding the culprit.
Will it do what I want it to? I hope so! But if not, it will at least be delicious :)

Do you eat potatoes on a regular basis? How do you like to eat them the most? Would you ever consider trying the potato diet?
