  • 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’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

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hen Report: “This Is It” | Inside the Ridglan Beagle Rescue
Q: What inspired you to participate in the Ridgeland Rescue?
Community organizing around Wayne Schung's vision and the belief that collective action could halt the sale of dogs to researchers, along with a history of involvement in open rescue efforts.
Bruce Friedrich on the Future of Meat: Plant-Based, Cultivated, and the Race to Feed the World
Q: What role should activists and general audiences play in accelerating this transition?
Mobilize politically—engage with policymakers, advocate for science-based funding, and participate in local conversations about food security, economic benefits, and consumer choice. Personal advocacy, constituent pressure, and bipartisan partnership can help unlock the necessary investments and regulatory clarity.
Bruce Friedrich on the Future of Meat: Plant-Based, Cultivated, and the Race to Feed the World

The field has progressed from a handful of startups and scarce funding to a global ecosystem with government support, more scientific papers, and hundreds of patents. The convergence of better bioreactors, cheaper media, and strategic policy incentives suggests a future where price and taste parity become realistic, even if the journey remains expensive and challenging.
