Customer Reviews
Podcast 15 - To All Compassion Gives
I love 'Our Hen House', I get excited when each new episode is launched, and it's a favourite amongst the vegan podcasts I subscribe to, even on the train to work I feel like I have pulled up a bale of hay!
Like 'Co-existing with non-human animals' Jasmin and Mariann employ a wide range of segments and sound clips for their podcast, which makes it a must listen event for me. I've learned so much over the past 15 episodes, and their passion and commitment to AR enthuses me.
I loved the interviews with Gene and Jasmin's grandma, and I love the references to Rose. Thanks for the efforts you go to. I appreciate it.
Love!
Our Hen House is a delight. Important topics covered with heart, humour and genuine care. One of my favourite ways to survive peak hour traffic! :)
all of the stars
our hen house is brilliant. jasmin and mariann are delightful hosts and speak passionately and admirably about changing the world for animals. every episode is wonderful—informative, enlightening, entertaining and affirming. i love this podcast!
