Roger de Latino Vegano Podcast comparte toda su experiencia sobre este estilo de vida, vegano desde 2002 y con una pasión por locucion, le trae a la comunidad mundial información, comentarios, entrevistas, historias y la parte del movimiento que los demas no quieren contarte. [Eng] Latin Vegan podcast is an initiative that came from the host Roger that one day while he was researching some top vegan related books in Spanish. He then came to the conclusion that not much information is out there about the lifestyle that he had been living for almost two decades now (since 2002). So, he decided to do something about it. With his computer science background and passion for radio and DJ, this concept came life.🌱
