Dave Warwak Videos

On our 76th show Scott is absent and Jilian and Derek have in-studio guest Chrissy Costigan, who lives near us in Westfield Massachusetts and was a runner up in Peta's Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door 2009 contest. Chrissy entered the contest and became a vegan because of what she learned while competing. We discuss wether Peta's sensationalist, sexual, and sometimes sexist tactics are justifiable. We also talk about the challenges of being a new vegan in a non-vegan world. Later in the show Derek debuts his new vegan inspired song Funky Animal. In the news Boca, Obama, overfishing, USDA ban on downer cattle and CloFu.

Our 74th show features an interview with Kevin Gianni of The Renegade Health Show. Kevin is preparing to go out on tour in his RV and takes some time to tell us about his show and his recent activities. We talk about raw food, the Vitamix, fitness, bags under the eyes, yoga and attention deficit disorder, coffee, cacao-induced rashes, and all kinds of other wacky stuff. We also feature new bumpers with Dan Piraro, Emily Deschanel, and Danielle from Vegan Treats. We feature an especially interesting intro, making for a fun filled, action packed and informative show from start to finish! For our podcast listeners we also feature the 3rd installment of Vegan School 101 with Dave Warwak.

Our 73rd show features an interview with Carolyn Scott, who travels around the world and tries vegan food out at omnivorous restaurants. She makes videos and blogs about the experiences. We met Carolyn at Burning Man 2007 when she came to visit The Vegan Bus. She gives us her insights and favorite places to eat. We also read a review of Temple Grandin's new book written by Jeffrey Masson and Jeff Nelson, with some commentary by us. We round out the show with music from the Brilliant Sins and an update on Jilian's first week of veganism. Podcast listeners are treated to the second edition of Dave Warwak's Vegan School 101. Enjoy!

On our 72nd show we introduce a new co-host, Jillian Oder. Jillian is an ovo-lacto vegetarian who wants to go vegan. Derek and Scott hope to help her make the change. This show marks her first day as a vegan, and over the course of the next few episodes we will follow her progress, trials and tribulations. Jillian takes over the show as we interview the author of The Joy of Vegan Baking, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. Colleen talks to us about her book and the nuances of vegan baking. As usual we go off into many other topics, such as food as aphrodesiac, animal rights themes in literature, murdering yeast, podcasting, and tricking people into eating vegan food. We also debut the new Dave Warwak segment, Vegan School 1001. Nuff said...

Our 59th show is all about Dave. In the first half of the show we feature an interview with Dave Warwak, the high school teacher stripped of his tenure and laid off for teaching his art class some vegan values in a truly artistic way. He has a new self-published book documenting his trials and tribulations called 'Peep Show for Children Only'. The second half of the show features the second part of an interview that Derek did with raw food guru David Wolfe during his recent visit to the Rhode Island School of Design. David's talk was called 'Cracking the Chocolate Code' and in it he promoted the amazing properties of raw cacao. At the end of our podcast we feature a review of Vegan Sweeties cookies.

Our 58th show is a bit all over the place, which our listeners might not find unusual. We start with an interview with Molly Lorenz, who has organized a group of vegan artists and craftspeople on the web site Etsy called Vegan Etsy. Molly herself uses the site to sell dog treats at her shop Emma's K9 Kitchen. We then talk about the latest news including Oprah's 21 Day Vegan 'Cleanse', which is all over the news at this point. Finally we feature an interview with celebrity activist Persia White which Derek conducted at the recent Farm Sanctuary Gala in NYC. We also feature a new version of Dennis Crommett's 'The Killer' which he recorded just for Vegan Radio!

Our 48th show features an interview with Liz Holtz, co-founder of vegan cookie-maker Liz Lovely.
