| 0:19.6 | Hope you're all well and hope you're feeling rested and fresh and bright and psyched to be vegan in 2020. |
| 0:27.1 | I can't quite believe it's 2020. |
| 0:29.0 | That just sounds so weird, but somehow it is. |
| 0:31.6 | If you're new to the podcast, welcome. |
| 0:33.7 | I'm very happy to have you here. |
| 0:35.2 | I'm your host, Evie Lynch, and The Chick Peeps is your |
| 0:37.6 | friendly weekly vegan podcast. So for our first episode of January 2020, we were thinking about |
