  • Honest yet Hopeful

    Jasmin and Mariann look into some of the worst crimes of humanity, but manage to leave me at the end of every episode with a sense of hope. Very focused on what can be done and what can be changed about a wide range of social issues impacting human and non-human animals alike.

  • Ever inspiring!

    I absolutely love Marianne and Jasmin. I’ve listened to Our Hen House since the beginning. They are the reason I switched from vegetarian to vegan and they are a (thrice weekly!) reminder of why I continue to choose veganism over a decade later. Thoughtful, intelligent, funny and grounded in the reality that things aren’t rosy right now- I appreciate their honestly and pragmatism while choosing to fight the good fight anyway.

  • I love the hen report!

    I’ve listened to all episodes of our hen house (many of them twice!)

    I love the new format of The Hen Report as the top of the show was always my favourite where we get to catch up with Jasmin and Mariann. I could listen to them chat about their lives and animals rights every day. So if you’d just make a daily 1 hour hen report that would be fab. Hehe.

    The only thing is I’d keep it to just Jasmin and Mariann rather than an extra interview as listening to them chat is so entertaining and restful.... more
