Episode 304: Vegan Travel with Plant-Based Traveler Dana Roberts and Nomadic Vegan Wendy Werneth

Jasmin & Mariann’s spread in Skin & Ink magazine.

Welcome to the 304th episode of Our Hen House, featuring the Plant Based Traveler Dana Roberts and the Nomadic Vegan Wendy Werneth.
On today’s episode, we recount all the thrilling details of Jasmin’s birthday, complete with a trip to the inimitable Vedge, and a new tattoo to commemorate a year of memoir-writing and an ever-unwavering love of birds (who knew?). We also squawk about the exciting tattoo-and-animal-rights spread that the Hens were featured in for Skin & Ink magazine — be on the lookout for a copy on your newsstand!

All that, vegan banter, and of course, current events from the world of animal rights. There’s lots of “Rising Anxieties” today, too, so hold onto your tofu!
