On October 26, 2005 Vegan Radio broadcast for the first time from behind the old school consoles of Valley Free Radio in Northampton, MA (103.3 FM). We were all nervous when we interviewed Howard Lyman, and we pre-recorded nearly everything. But look how far we've come! We do almost everything live, and we are loose as a goose chillin at Farm Sanctuary. Still, the equipment at the radio station haunts us, and in this show we have some trouble keeping our interviewees on the line.

To celebrate our 20th show we're bringing a couple of our old guests into the studio to join in while we interview our guests. Joining us in the studio from Show 17 we have "the veganator" Jerry Cook and from Show 16 vegan musician Kyle Vincent. We interview naturalist "Wildman" Steve Brill, who gives tours of Central Park and metropolitan NY where he teaches them about wild edibles. Our musical guest is The Giving Tree Band, Chicago's own original all-acoustic string band. With all these people in the studio, the great interviews we have lined up (and the technical difficulties) we skip the Naked News and just get down to it. Thanks for joining us and supporting us for 20 episodes!
