  • 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

    Jasmin and Mariann are my friends, my inspiring campaigning advocates and truth tellers. They have funny, inspiring and funny chats with each other and some incredible guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Federal Government vs. Prop 12: Can the Egg Products Inspection Act Preempt Cage-Free Egg Laws?
Q: Can you just give us a brief summary of what the government is arguing?
The government argues that the Egg Products Inspection Act expressly preempts state laws that impose cage-free requirements on eggs sold in their states. The guests explain that the clause concerns egg grading standards, such as quality and size, rather than farm animal housing.
The Federal Government vs. Prop 12: Can the Egg Products Inspection Act Preempt Cage-Free Egg Laws?
Q: Can you briefly talk about animal product sales bans, what they are, where they are, which animals are involved, and maybe the background of the litigation?
Rebecca Cary describes California's Proposition 2 and Proposition 12, which set housing requirements for certain farm animals and restrict sales of products from animals kept in extreme confinement. She reviews earlier challenges and the Supreme Court's decision upholding Proposition 12 in NPPC v. Ross.
Animal Rescue and Storytelling as Activism: Michelle Lerner on Her New Book, “A Series of Opinionated Animals”
Q: Why do you think storytelling can break through to the public with the truth about what's happening to animals in ways that, for example, graphic factory farming footage simply cannot?
Lerner says individual stories, especially funny ones, can keep readers engaged and help them recognize animals beyond familiar pets as distinct individuals with personalities and histories. That recognition can change how people respond to broader harms such as factory farming.
Animal Rescue and Storytelling as Activism: Michelle Lerner on Her New Book, “A Series of Opinionated Animals”
Q: Could you just tell his story a little bit and how he kind of shifted the trajectory of your life and the trajectory of Harvard Law School and all the rest?
Lerner had known Shire since she was eight and cared for him from age nine until he died when she was 22. After his death, she pursued animal law, hoping to change the system that had put him at risk.
Grassroots Win for Animals: How Southampton Animal Action Stopped Brittany Ferries’ Live Animal Exports
Q: Can you give us a little bit more background on Southampton Animal Action. I mean, you sort of told us the philosophy, but where is it? I assume in Southampton, but of course, I assume, which I assume is in the South. So where is it? But who is it? And how long has it existed? And how did it all come together?
Phipps says the group formed in 2024 amid renewed interest in grassroots animal rights campaigning. It began with a small group meeting at a local vegan cafe, grew quickly, and now organizes local and regional campaigns, community meetings and social events.
