Vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier

Show #77 - Brendan Brazier

April 16, 2009

Seventy-seven shows into it and the technology is still kicking our ass, but we get some interesting radio out of it just the same. We are psyched to have a chance to talk to vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier. The radio station equipment goes a little haywire and we lose Brendan early on, which gives Jilian a chance to give us a lesson on iron absorption.
