March 2021: Jordi Casamitjana

March’s podcast from Viva! – Do you know your history of veganism? Or that ethical veganism is a protected philosophical belief in the UK? Well, we chat to the man that made it happen Jordi Casamitjana. 

In this episode, we also delve into why vegans specifically don’t eat prawns, (spoiler alert, research suggests they do feel pain), and Maryanne from Vegan Recipe Club reminisces about a time we could travel, as we round-up some top vegan travel tips. 

Plus, we bring you the latest vegan news and music to get your ears around!
