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
2025 Year in Review, Part Two
In the conclusion of their two-part episode, The Tofu Trio reviews the vegan-related milestones they hoped to see in 2025 and the reality of how things actually unfolded. Spoiler alert: It wasn't pretty. Vegan cheese hasn't improved all that much, plant milks are failing to outsell dairy, and vegan breakfasts remain elusive. Furthermore, lab-grown meat is still prohibitively expensive, and instead of an industry boom, the number of plant-based restaurants has actually dwindled. 2025 wasn't just disappointing, it may have been worse than the year before. There's plenty more in this jumbo-sized episode: Joey sounds off on why Mark Cuban is a sore loser, Jon defends Leonardo DiCaprio's inconsistent environmentalism, and Vanessa laments Eleven Madison Park's retreat from an exclusively plant-based menu. Plus, the trio discusses cholesterol, Hippeas, IKEA's vegan offerings, and much more. All that, plus a cameo from Bob the Cat!
