BOB LINDEN was concerned that when station ownership and management heard the content of this pro-animal liberation, pro-vegetarian, pro-environment show which would potentially offend most advertisers on the station, e.g. McDevil's, Murder King, When-Dies, Kills Jr., K(illing)F(or)C(ash), Outbreak Steak House, Up-Chuck E. Cheese, etc., that perhaps he would not be allowed to produce and host a second show the following week. Bob was astonished to find that the locks to the building were not changed and he was able to do a second show, a third, a tenth, a hundredth, to where the show now celebrates its 4th anniversary. Bob presumed station ownership and management weren't listening. But lots of other people were, and the program proved to be one of the most popular all week on its initial station KRLA, and then again on its next station, a 50,000 watt powerhouse out of Orange County, KPLS, where surveys estimated about 75,000 listeners in any given 15 minute period. Now – after the sale of that station and its conversion to Spanish-language programming – " GO VEGAN WITH BOB LINDEN " is heard on KTYM-AM-1460 in Los Angeles, and KCEO-AM-1000 in San Diego, and worldwide at www.GoVeganRadio.com . Bob chose to broadcast on commercial radio so that the program can run commercials for vegan (no animal ingredients) and cruelty-free (no animal experimentation) products and services that are alternatives to those associated with animal exploitation, Commercial radio comes with a price tag as airtime must be purchased, and for four years Bob has pursued advertising and tax-deductible donations to keep the show going and growing. " GO VEGAN WITH BOB LINDEN " is produced by GoVeganRadio.com, a project of 501©(3) International Humanities Center. It is a parade of modern day heroes and saints who are interviewed to discuss their actions to make the world a better place for human and non-human animals and the environment. The program also showcases and exposes information not available in the establishment media in areas of animal issues, compassionate living, human health, and environmental sustainability. On this Sunday's show - four years after that first appearance - the President of the world's largest animal rights organization, INGRID NEWKIRK, returns to discuss what concerns the movement currently, and her new book " MAKING KIND CHOICES " .
