    This is a lovely, informative podcast that I enjoy listening to when I want a change from true crime. There are a couple glitches for me, though: the beginning editorializing doesn't seem always necessary. I understand it if there's some breaking news for or against animals/activists, but otherwise I just prefer the podcast to begin.

Or it could be that the sound is just frustratingly quiet. As a longtime activist/advocate for animals, I am glad that it's just the beginning that's quiet, rather than the interv... more

  • Must Listen! Informative and well-paced.

    Excellent variety of topics, super-informative guests, and Hope is an excellent host! Very educational and informative, and I highly recommend the “reason for vegan” series of episodes for new and long-time vegans alike.
