The Glen Merzer Show

Health EN ↓ 160 episodes

Filled with freewheeling discussions, liveliness, and health information, The Glen Merzer Show Podcast will move you towards the vegan lifestyle if you're not there already. This podcast is for open-minded individuals who are interested in veganism, climate change, and the destructive effects of animal agriculture, but also enjoy healthy cooking, theater, and culture. Glen Merzer lives with the philosophy that he has two reasons to write: to make people laugh and to make people vegan. He has the same two reasons to podcast.
