This week, Mariann talks to Asher Brown, award-winning director and founder of Pollution.tv, about producing videos for clients like Beyond Meat, Gardein, So Delicious, Follow Your Heart and Veggie Grill, the Million-Dollar Vegan campaign, and Switch4Good, the dairy-free athlete non-profit he co-founded.
In the intro to this episode, Jasmin and Mariann preview this week’s bonus content about their trip to Trader Joe’s, discuss Jasmin’s recent New York visit and the amazing food they ate, how Fiddler on the Roof relates to animal issues, a really fascinating discussion about animal agriculture on Ezra Klein’s recent Ask Ezra Anything 3: Endgame podcast.
