In this first podcast of a four-part series devoted to all things Veg Fest, we give an overview of the upcoming festival celebrating compassionate living. CAA executive director Unny Nambudiripad talks with Twin Cities Veg Fest organizer Dave Rolsky about what the Veg Fest is, how it came to be, and what it offers the general public.

Twin Cities Veg Fest 2014 will be held at Coffman Memorial Union at the University of Minnesota on Sunday, September 28th, 2014. Compassionate Action for Animals is currently raising funds for the festival through Indiegogo. The campaign ends on July 1st. Make a contribution today, and become a VegFest funder.
