Episode 261: “When we drop fear, we can draw nearer to people, we can draw nearer to the earth, we can draw nearer to all the heavenly creatures that surround us.”

Welcome to the 255th episode of Our Hen House, a place to find our way to change the world for animals.
It’s a celebratory day today, as this is our podcast’s fifth anniversary! We have literally never missed a week of our show since starting five years ago almost to the day. (Time for a martini?)
Today’s exciting episode features the lucky seventh edition of highlights from the Our Hen House TV show, a co-production with Brooklyn Independent Media. Our diverse cast of interviewees includes vegan chocolatier Sarah Gross, animal and environmental activists Mia MacDonald and Josphat Ngonyo, Farm Sanctuary co-founder Gene Baur, restaurateur extraordinaire Joy Pierson, healthy school food instituter Kelley Wind, and former undercover investigator Cody Carlson. Once again, we welcome our Media Coordinator Alessandra Seiter of Farmers Market Vegan to curate these segments.
Be sure to check out our “100 Ways to Change the World for Animals” that we squawk about in today’s episdoe!
