The Simply Vegan Podcast is brought to you by the UK’s only vegan magazine, Vegan Food & Living. Hosted by magazine editor Holly Johnson and NEW co-host Em-J for January 2024, join them every Thursday as they discuss the ups and downs of being vegan, the latest news and products and chat to some of the inspirational people helping to grow the vegan movement – from chefs and influencers to athletes and doctors.

Going vegan can be a rollercoaster of joy, sadness, excitement, fear of change, a renewed love of cooking… but this is just the beginning of your journey! Join Holly and Em-J as they discuss what to consider next. Including:

• Everyday items that use animal products

• Vegan and cruelty-free cleaning products

• Bedding and clothing

• Should vegans wear leather?

And in part 2, Holly chats to Veganuary 'graduate' Debra Butler, Vegan Food & Living's new art editor, as she navigates cheese, chocolate, vegan meats and cooking for a mixed household. Find out whether Debs will stay vegan and the storecupboard staples she recommends for other vegan newbies.
