  • Good Work, Keep It Up!

    Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the good material—I haven’t listened to all the episodes yet, but I have listened to a lot of them, and I have found them to be very informative and interesting. I have especially enjoyed the Rwanda episodes, the episodes relating to the many challenges that animal activists put forward, and your recent episode on bullying in the workplace. Thanks for the podcast, Grey, and just keep doing what you’re doing!

    Grey is a fantastic interviewer and human- so many of these conversations extend beyond the animal community to be of great value to any listener. SO moved by episode 300- wishing Forrest and his family all the best. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story.
