Non-Vegan Voices: Peter

Joey welcomes his longtime friend Peter to this Non-Vegan Voices episode of the podcast. The duo kicks things off with Joey detailing how Peter single-handedly got him hooked on comic books, before pivoting into Meatless Mondays, Peter's enjoyment of plant-based food, and how his heart attack influenced his decision to eat more of it. From there, the chat wanders through various topics, including hypocrisy, the grossly unhealthy food Joey and Peter ate in their youth, and the sacred, unsung art of being a great comic book clerk. Things take a meaningful turn as they dive deep into autism, with Peter sharing what it's like to navigate life as the father of an autistic son. Finally, they close out the episode with a shared plea for a little more global kindness. The producers of Vegans Talking Shit sincerely apologize on behalf of Joey's dog, Khaleesi, whose non-stop floor-clacking, water-slurping, and heavy snorting proved that she was determined to co-host the episode.Vegans Talking Shit is hosted by Joey Di Girolamo, Jon Missirlian, and Vanessa Silva.
