This podcast is amazing! The hosts are entertaining and seem like great people. They are a wealth of knowledge. By far my favorite animal welfare podcast. I’m not in the animal welfare profession but I am an advocate and this podcast has been so helpful in my advocacy work. Great job Ashley, Ashley, and Dan!
