In this episode of the Vegans Explore Podcast, we’re joined by Stephanie Small, Head of Community at Date Night, a virtual speed dating platform designed to bring real conversation back to modern dating. We explore how Date Night helps Vegans connect in a values-aligned space, why speed dating works better than endless swiping, and how their partnership with PETA enables dating events to support animals in need directly. This conversation highlights connection, efficiency, and compassion, all wrapped into one thoughtful dating experience.
