Easy Like Sunday Morning

I’m pretty pumped to have had the opportunity to chat with the lovely Nargus Harounzadeh for Red Radio Episode Twenty-Seven.  Aside from the pure wow-factor, I think we can all agree that the word ‘inspiring’ can be used enthusiastically in this case - I can’t wait to talk to her about my own fitness/nutrition goals!  And I’m SO EXCITED to see what she has in store for her live art exhibit at The Seed in a few weeks!  EEE!

And yeah, I got a little out of line with my rant on the human embarrassment that was the ‘Great’ GoogaMooga Festival.  I admit it.  And I don’t regret it.  (Also: Really?  A cartoon pig wearing sunglasses in the logo?  How far up asses do heads even go?)

Check it out!

In Episode Twenty-Seven, Erin Red interviews vegan artist, athlete, teacher, scholar and all-around superwoman Nargus Harounzedeh about her journey to veganism, her athletic and artistic prowess, and the unbelievable accident that changed her life forever.  Plus, Nargus and Red discuss her upcoming live art exhibit at The Seed: A Vegan Experience in June!  And the Steamed Veggies Segment makes a particularly snarky return as Erin Red waxes poetic about Brooklyn’s Googamooga Festival.  Remember:  Red Radio is 100% listener supported!  Please consider donating by visiting Erin Red and Red Radio at erinred.com and clicking the DONATE button!  You can also read her blog at erinred.tumblr.com, and find her on Facebook and Twitter @erinred.

No, seriously Dad.  Don’t do it.  I mean, it’s for your sake more than anyone else’s.  I’m saying…..honestly, if you really wanted to listen, you could.  It’s nothing too bad, yet.  But yanno.  I say ‘boners’ a lot and I pretty much let the cat out of the bag that I’m not a virgin, so I don’t want to make things awkward is all.  

…

The proverbial cat is proverbially out of the proverbial bag, y’all - super foxy vegan rockstar celebrity ass-kicker Melisser Elliott and I are launching a brand-spankin’ new sex-positive vegan podcast, tentatively named The Dirty Birds.  It’s totally happening!  Listen to us yak for an hour on Red Radio Episode Twenty-Six about what motivated us to produce our upcoming monthly show, and why our partners are kinda freaked out.  

We really don’t blame them.

I also get all worked up about animal breeders and why it’s so important to adopt/rescue. Such a jam-packed episode!  WOOT!

Catch up in a couple of days with the show notes!

Um, YOU GUYS…you’re supposed to let a Redhead KNOW when something slips her MIND. I realize I was ‘with it’ enough to post Valentina’s Fresh Veggies interview, but I neglected to post the show notes!  GOSH.

In any case, there weren’t too many to post.  So I’ll just include them in this here show notes for my RAW and REAL recent show, EP25.  Have you listened to it yet?  It’s cool if you haven’t because the whole situation makes me VERY ANXIOUS, on the real!  It’s pretty out there, but I’m already so glad that I did it.  The feedback I’ve been receiving has really blown my mind.  Hey……..y’all are awesome. 

Alright enough mushery - on to the show notes!

Aw, remember the early 2000s, when I was a budding feminist at Humboldt State, taking my women’s studies classes and reading Bust magazine? No? I loved Bust’s feminist/pop culture flair, and if you’ve ever been to Arcata, you’d know why it’s referred to as “behind the redwood curtain;”…

Thanks, Vegansaurus!
