Welcome to the 39th podcast episode of Our Hen House, featuring David Wolfson.

In today’s episode, we will report back from our much anticipated launch party for Our Hen House, where our speakers wowed us, the food impressed us, and the crowd – which delighted us – spilled out onto the sidewalk! We’ll also give you an exciting update about our TimeOut New York article, and we’ll express our thoughts on why people to need to share the love with Ellen DeGeneres, even if they don’t think she’s perfect.

Joining us today is animal rights lawyer, David Wolfson, who is a partner in the Global Corporate Group at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy. David has some exciting news for us regarding undergraduate academia that you won’t want to miss.
