Episode 422: The Old Dog Who Chose To Live and The Vegan Nigerian

Welcome to the 422nd episode of Our Hen House! First, Mariann talks to author Tom Ryan about his most recent book, Will’s Red Coat: The Story of One Old Dog Who Chose To Live Again. A story of a dog and an indelible bond that is beautiful, heartbreaking, uplifting, and unforgettable, Will’s Red Coat honors the promise held in all of us, at any stage of life.

Then, Jasmin talks to Tomi Makanjuola from The Vegan Nigerian, a website where she shares recipes, videos and resources inspired by Nigerian cuisine and her own personal vegan journey. They talk about veganising Nigerian cuisine, Tomi’s early experience witnessing animal cruelty, and her Airbnb dinners. You can follow Tomi on Twitter and Instagram @vegannigerian.

Plus, Mariann covers this week’s News and Rising Anxieties!
