Meet the Co-Founder of the Swiss Vegan Society Artwork

Vegans Talking Shit

Vegans are a controversial, much-maligned group, but we're all just regular human beings who live, love, and laugh. And man, can we talk shit. Join Jon, Vanessa, and Joey as we talk shit about what it's like to be vegan. Every week, we'll be talking shit about a different topic related to living a vegan lifestyle; the good, the bad, and the ugly. But since we seem to be completely incapable of staying on topic, we also talk shit about music, movies, comic books, and anything else that might come up during the conversation. So tune in to Vegans Talking Shit, available weekly on Apple Podcasts, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Vegans Talking Shit

Meet the Co-Founder of the Swiss Vegan Society

December 16, 2025 • The Tofu Trio • Episode 60

For this week's episode of Vegans Talking Shit, the Tofu Trio welcomes Rafi Neuburger, a fellow vegan traveler Jon and Vanessa met while on a vegan cruise. Rafi has been vegan for over 25 years, helped found the Swiss Vegan Society, and is strongly committed to reducing the suffering of human and non-human animals. The four of them discuss, among other things, the future of veganism, what the vegan scene looks like outside of the US, and places that have banned lab-grown meat. Of course, there's also quite a bit of silliness along the way. But wait, there's more! "Santa Rafi" comes bearing gifts, dropping some great ideas for future episodes of the show. It won't take a rocket scientist to figure out which one is Joey's favorite.

Vegans Talking Shit is hosted by Joey Di Girolamo, Jon Missirlian, and Vanessa Silva. Podcast image artwork by Diego Orellana. Theme song "Flying" by TrackTribe.
