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.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Halloween oreos are the best colored oreos out there. Hands down. "Change my mind" &lt;br&gt;
But in this episoe Dani has a problem. Well many actually, but one is with things that are too anthropomorphic or cute! She can't handle them, and often it causes complete shenanigans when it comes to food...or stuffed animals. Alongside of this great reveal, the ladies read some listener emails, discuss delicious meals, and of course do the random, odd, delightful things that make them...unique. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;We've arrived at the episode of Rotten where the topic of the Dairy industry is discussed. There;s no joke here when it comes to the "importance of small farmers" and the possiblity of...raw milk? This one hits close to home, and is a hot topic for us, so there's a lot we have to say. This aside- the most important revelation happens. All one has to do is approach and ask permission right?! So if given the opportunity...what celebrity would you milk? &lt;/p&gt;

During this chat, you'll have a chance to hear the ins and outs of the dark side of what some see as "a sport" from The Vice President of &lt;strong&gt;Horseracing Wrongs&lt;/strong&gt; Nicole, as the hosts learn more than they even knew. In the end though- this truth is necessary for everyone to learn, and there's much being done about it!! You even have an opportunity to join in protests mentioned. Special Guest: Nicole.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week Dani &amp;amp; Katt watch 'Black Fish' which leads to many questions and of course- lots of feelings. Discussions of the film are had in conjuction with general talk about various aquarium. Similar to the stance on zoos- could there be any upside to having life in captivity? Is there any truth to claims of conservation?  &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Once again, we address the issue of people not truly giving thought to the meaning of compassion.  Recently we were shook with the loss of two "celebrities", but more importantly two human beings. As suicide is now the 10th leading cause of death- it's time we did something about it, but change has to start with awareness, understanding, and compassion...something being vegan is supposed to be all about. Unfortunately that is not always the case as we have come to notice that being vegan does not mean it's cruelty free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;**Warning- this episode does contain discussion of mental illness, depression, and suicide. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;You've heard us rave about 'The Last Pig', and now it's time to dive a little deeper into what we consider to be one of the best documentaries out there right now. What better way to do that than an inteview with produce/director Allison Argo? We had the pleasure of meeting her before, and now it's time for you to meet her too! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many thanks to Allison for talking with us- you're a wonderful human being who does amazing work!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Producer's note: Sorry for the late episode, it's my fault for being a perfectionist! Special Guest: Allison Argo.&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>Bee Venom Therapy...The Impossible Burger...Pre-maturely born babies...what do all of these have in common? All of them are surrounded by controversy for various reasons in the animal or human rights industries, and all of them are discussed in this episode. Sometimes even people of the &#39;same group&#39; have differing opinions, and we&#39;re here to explore that with these topics. At the end you decide...where do you stand? </p>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week Dani and Katt decided to get political and explore a lot of grey area after seeing on social media that someone can not have voted for Trump and be a vegan. It was another case for the vegan police to take away someones vegan card. But can't one separate their moral and political views in such a way that it is two different things for them? Regardless, shouldn't we set differences aside, educate, and accept people to join forces in the fight for animal rights? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;**Disclaimer- these are only our opinions and views based on what we saw and think, not that of the network. &lt;/p&gt;
