The V Spot: Vegan Podcast

A Vegan-ish Survival Podcast for Best Friends

About the show

What is The V Spot? Well the short of it is Dani and Katt are vegan best friends who are just trying to survive the world we live in and they've decided to document their chats in the form of a podcast.

The long of it is Dani and Katt like to talk. Like a lot. So why not record it for everyone to enjoy! Topics center around veganism, feminism and just activism in general, but that doesn't mean some side convos about their cats or the food they have just eaten won't happen. It will happen. It will happen a lot. So come join these two friends and be their new best friend as we all just try to survive the world together while being cool to each other, having some fun and just not taking it all too seriously. Episodes are uploaded every Monday!
