The V-Word by Sarah-Jane Crawford is a vegan podcast. After being inspired to turn vegan back in 2015 by Grime MC JME who came on my radio show, I’ve been on a mission to uncover the new age and face of veganism ever since. I figured you don’t have to be a hippy or white, middle class, only eat rabbit food or shop in Notting Hill’s organic food stores to live on a plant-based diet. On the V-Word I meet athletes, celebrities, influencers, and just all-around interesting people, reflecting a broad cross-section of vegans whose lives challenge the old school stereotype of what it means to not eat meat or dairy. I hope that you will find as much inspiration in listening to my vegan podcast as I did in creating it. Enjoy!

Sarah-Jane gets the low down from Joshua Parker, the 28-year-old striker for Charlton Athletic, just before they got promoted to the Championship, in their glorious play-off final win. Joshua talks about how life has been over the last 3 years as a plant-based footballer, how he educates the other players, away game challenges and everything in between.
Sarah-Jane touches base with vegan You-Tuber Rachel Ama about her Caribbean and African roots, her previous love of chicken and life of lactose intolerance to fully fledged and flourishing vegan influencer and cook.
In a bid to dispel the myths about meat and the need for protein during hardcore training, US star Bryant Jennings, one of the world's top ranked heavyweight boxers, chats to Sarah-Jane about his vegan journey.
