Easy Like Sunday Morning

So one of my (completely awesome) listeners sent me a tweet a few weeks back, asking why I don’t really tweet or talk about MMA or Muay Thai as often as I used to.  And I was all, ….you know, I don’t really know.  It’s a pretty huge passion of mine - I’m in the gym more often than I’m home, when I think about it - and many of my listeners are fans, too. 

Obviously I was thrilled, then, to book none other than UFC Welterweight and outspoken ETHICAL vegan, Aaron Simpson on Red Radio Episode Fifty Three!  Aaron was gracious enough to chat with me for an hour about all things vegan and MMA-related, and even shared some insight on raising vegan kids.  KICKASS!

Erin Red has the pleasure of featuring two of her passions in Red Radio Episode Fifty Three, featuring a compelling interview with UFC Welterweight and outspoken vegan advocate Aaron Simpson!  Hear all about Aaron’s transition into veganism, raising a vegan family, elite training on a vegan diet, and of course how he deals with the meathead mindset of the fight game.  Plus, the Compassionate Clip of the Week gets our mouths watering for a new vegan cooking show, and Erin Red makes our heads spin and our stomachs turn in the “What The Hell Are People Eating?!” Edition of The Vegan Scoop!  What an adventure!  Please consider supporting Red Radio by visiting Erin Red’s home base 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.

You think you know…but you have no idea. 

My audience demands it, and I supply it.  That’s how I roll over here at Red Radio.  Y’all wanted to hear about my bizarre, wayward journey to veganism, fitness and self- worth and that’s exactly what you get (plus WAY more) in Red Radio Episode Twenty-Five!  

Fun Fact:  I was 25 when I went vegan!  Coincidence, right?  Nah, I don’t believe in those. 

You asked for it, you got it!  In a very special Episode Twenty Five, Erin Red reveals her story; specifically her own personal journey to becoming vegan as well as her complicated history with weight loss, fitness, and self esteem.  Tune in to hear everything you ever wanted to know (and probably some things you didn’t) about how and why going vegan was the best choice Erin Red ever made.  Plus, in the Compassionate Clip of the Week, we feature the keynote speaker from The Seed: A Vegan Experience – Dr. Joel Fuhrman!  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.

What’s crackin’, Rice Crackers?

I love rice crackers.  Have ‘em with hummus pretty much every day.  Yum.
