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.

For our 171st offering we give you a re-release of our first show ever, originally released in 2005.  We were not able to do a show for this, the week of our 4th anniversary, so we re-encoded and re-released this show as a place-holder.  We will record a proper 4th anniversary show, soon.  Originally released 6/13/2005.  Enjoy:

Yes, it's official. We've recorded, edited and (now) posted our first show (#0.1)! Highlights include...

  • Streams of consciousness
  • Portuguese explorers and chefs
  • The evils of gluten
  • Ethic food, jokes

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!
