Bloodthirsty Vegetarians have been "on the air" since the early days of podcasting. At one time we used rocks and kerosene to produce sounds. Today, we utilize only the highest quality flint and goat hide to produce the show. If you're brave, check out some of our early shows, but we suggest sticking with the new material as it is more compatible with modern coal-burning PCs.

posted by Rich @ 12:00 AM

Yes, the bad news is that because of a nasty flu bug, John and I were not able to get together to record this weekend.

Remember the Kraken that was sitting on John's chest while we taped our last show?  Well a pretty similar looking Kraken (they may have been related) decided to start sitting on my chest, on Monday.  By Tuesday I was delirious.  Now it's just a really nasty cold, but bad enough to keep us from recording.

The good news is that John promised to do a special show for the ladies in the near future while wearing his new Salmon Speedo.  (I might "mysteriously" get the flu for THAT episode... we'll see!)

See you soon!
