Welcome to the 75th episode of Our Hen House, featuring Myq Kaplan.
In today’s episode, we will tell you about Mariann’s talk on farm animal law for the activist, Jasmin’s new article on the connections between gay rights and animal rights, and the amazing dinner we had at a vegan pop-up restaurant here in NYC.
Joining us today is vegan comedian Myq Kaplan, who will tell is what it was like to be in the top 5 of “Last Comic Standing,” and will give us the skinny on his CD, “Vegan Mind Meld.”
As a special added section of today’s podcast, Our Hen House’s reviewer, Kyle Knies, will let us in on how his recent volunteer vacation to India was, including stories about working with some animals there.
For our review, we’ll let you know what we thought of flaxmilk. (That’s right – flax milk!)
All that, vegan banter, and of course, current events from the world of animal rights.
