S4 E4: Mic the Vegan
Mic the Vegan, a prominent voice in the plant-based community, is back for his third appearance at Vegan Camp Out, reflecting on the event’s impressive growth since his first visit in 2019. The festival’s expansion highlights the UK’s leadership in veganism compared to the US, where consistency varies state by state.
