My Drunk Vegan Kitchen

Last spring, quite a few friends forwarded to me the link to My Drunk Kitchen.  Some said she looked like me, others said she cooked like me, but I’d like to set things straight, right here, right now. I cook vegan, and while I would love nothing more than to whip up a vegan dinner dressed like Mario, I’m a public school teacher. If I had a contract, somewhere in said contract would be a section stating that, as a school employee, I’m prohibited from having the type of fun Hannah has in her kitchen, vegan or no, and posting it online.  A sub-clause of this section would prohibit me from showing anyone where my “Noms At” (which is a good thing since my version would probably be a progressive rock instrumental).

In this blog post, I’d like to share a few podcasts from the US that I listen to regularly in the hope of inspiring my readers to go out and discover a few of their own.  Recommendations are greatly appreciated in the comments section! Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me: This is the granddaddy of all podcasts.  I started...
