Easy Like Sunday Morning

Alright, so the picturesque cover may not look anything at all like your typical New York City date… perhaps in Central Park?… and granted, I’m happily off the market, so to speak… nonetheless I really enjoyed Dating Vegans by Anne Dinshah!  It’s a really pleasant read and it definitely helped me gain insight into my own relationships and further define exactly what’s important to me in a partner.  It was a blast talking with Anne about her dating adventures and recipe creations for Red Radio Episode Sixty Four.  Plus, I talk smack about the growing popularity of that nasty swill otherwise known as Greek Yogurt.  Seriously, if I have to listen to one more gym buddy wax poetic about that crap, I’m gonna scream.

Alright, enough angst.  Check out EP64!

Why don’t you slip into something more comfortable, then come on back in front of this cozy fireplace for some vegan s’mores and Red Radio Episode Sixty Four?  Erin Red gets to know author, athlete and vegan royalty Anne Dinshah to talk growing up vegan, creating simple and delicious recipes, and her titillating new book Dating Vegans: Recipes for Relationships.  Want more?  Ask and ye shall receive: The Vegan Scoop goes in on the Greek yogurt trend, and discusses the perfect absurdity of a solar-powered coal plant.  OH, YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE!  Please consider supporting Red Radio by visiting Erin Red’s home base erinred.com and clicking on ‘Support the Show’, and make sure to subscribe to Red Radio on iTunes (or your favorite podcatcher) today!  If you love what you hear, leave a glowing review with five sparkly stars, or drop Erin Red a line at erinredradio@gmail.com.  Better yet, dial the Red Radio Hotline at (510) 500-KALE and speak your truth!  Don’t feel connected?  Follow Erin Red on Twitter (@erinred) and Like her on Facebook (/erinred)!

Show notes for EP53, 54 and 55 en route…

You know, I get to chat with a lot of pretty amazing vegan folks through Red Radio, and never once have I been like “Man, what a total douche so-and-so was”.  In fact, I can honestly say that I’ve been downright impressed with how awesome people have been, and how much fun it’s been to get to know them through my podcast.  

That said, every once in a while I chat with a vegan that could EASILY be my lifelong BFF.  Like, KISMET man.  I don’t think I need to tell you that Brian L. Patton is one of these people.  What a freaking talent this dude is!  Hilarious, creative, compassionate, talented, and let’s face it - the man is a veritable encyclopedia of Dick Jokes.  His Fiancee must be all, “WIN!”.

On the real, though - go check out his YouTube Videos and pick up The Sexy Vegan Cookbook.  But not before listening to Red Radio Episode Thirty Two!

In jaw-droppingly sexy Red Radio Episode Thirty Two, Erin Red spends some time getting to know Brian L. Patton, also known as The Sexy Vegan!  Light some candles and slip into something more comfortable as we learn about Brian’s vegan journey – including his enlightening ‘spider moment’ – his popular YouTube clips, proper techniques for making out with one’s dog, and the epic release of his scandalously delicious new cookbook, The Sexy Vegan Cookbook: Extraordinary Food from an Ordinary Dude!  Plus in this week’s Steamed Veggies segment, Erin Red reveals why she’s not so thrilled about the latest news on phasing out gestation crates.  Please consider supporting Red Radio by visiting erinred.com and clicking the DONATE button, and subscribe to Red Radio on iTunes today!  If you love what you hear, leave a glowing review, or drop Erin Red a line at erinredradio@gmail.com.  You can also read her blog at erinred.tumblr.com, and find her on Facebook and Twitter @erinred.

Ok, ok…I promised it’d be out yesterday, but then that little thing called ‘Life’ got in the way…and here it is, the tail end of Wednesday, and Red still hasn’t pulled it together.  Shameful I tell you!  I hope y’all can forgive me. 

Here they are!  Show notes!  For EP19!  Ta DA!

Can’t wait for EP20!

It’s Monday, y’all - you know what that means!  

I had the pleasure of chatting with the darling Ms. Dreena Burton last week and I’m so pumped she’s featured in Episode Nineteen of Red Radio.  The best part?  In a few different spots, you can hear her kids playing and squealing in the background!  LOVE!

Aside from that, I address some questions I received from EP18 about my ‘support’ of HSUS and bring the chuckles with The Compassionate Clip of the Week! 

Episode Nineteen welcomes vegan cookbook author and Supermom Dreena Burton to discuss raising an energy-filled vegan family, the joys of vegan pregnancy, and her recently released (and truly fabulous) cookbook Let Them Eat Vegan!  Tune in and hear Erin Red sound like a true Yankee against Dreena’s totally adorable Canadian accent!  Plus an HSUS disclaimer regarding EP18, and the return of The Compassionate Clip of the Week!  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.
