Most of the interviews at Weird! Why Aren’t You Vegan? are with people who are unique and different (read: not vegan). This has the normal people (read: vegans) feeling a little left out. So, to appease the masses, once in a while we feature a regular old, nothin’ special, run-of-the-mill vegan.

Today, we talk with my friend and former colleague, who has since embarked on a journey throughout the Americas in a house with wheels. Wheels!

Also, before becoming vegan ten years ago, she somehow survived on a diet of animals for 21 years. She’s magic, and we have a lot to learn from her.

We’re back, baby chicks! And we have a fun, silly, talented guest who performs in and around Seattle. She has a hilarious story (and lesson?) from her childhood, and I think you’ll have a hard time A) not laughing, and B) ever forgetting it.

Please meet Yolanda Suarez! Continue reading →

Today, we talk with a Seattle-based comedian who regales us with stories of cat custody battles, teenage feelings of grandeur, and pee-pee and poo-poo.

She’s here. Please applaud. It’s Lauren Cocroft! Continue reading →

Although our guest this week has worked with Steve-O, a normal vegan (I mean normal as in he’s vegan, but I guess outside of that he’s maybe not entirely normal per se—but I digress), she herself isn’t vegan. Weird!

She *is* just as funny though.

It’s not often I learn about veganism from a non-vegan, but this interviewee proved to be an exception. He smartly pointed out during the course of his interview that spices are vegan so non-vegans can’t eat them. I agree and will be holding a food drive to collect all your oregano, cumin, and garlic.

I appreciated learning from and getting to know this interviewee better, and I think you’ll enjoy him very much too.

I found another one! This week’s interview is with someone I knew on Instagram (because I’m a stalker) before I knew her in real life (IRL, if you’re under 35). She’s funny, adorable, and she loves dogs so much that she’s kinda’ made them her coworkers. So, naturally, I assumed she’s vegan. But she isn’t! I was almost forced to eat crow when I found out. But I politely declined, of course.

Join me and let’s talk to this enigma about why she’s not vegan.

Welcome back, broccoli butts! I’ve gotten some rest, taken my B12 supplements, and I’m thrilled to be relaunching the blog with the power of a vegan strongman (strongperson!).

Who better to showcase on my first relaunch post than one of the kindest and funniest comedians and producers I know? I hope you enjoy this delicious interview. If not, I will force you to sit at your desk and finish the whole thing. Because there are children in Africa who’d do anything to have a blog post to read.

Please meet Greg Sharp! Continue reading →
