Summary: <br> Welcome to the 287th episode of Our Hen House, a place to find our way to change the world for animals.<br> Today we’re starting a very special round of podcast episodes, each featuring a different set of segments from the <a href="http://ourhenhouse.org/tv">Our Hen House TV show</a>, a co-production with <a href="http://bkindiemedia.bricartsmedia.org/">Brooklyn Independent Media</a>. These six weekly episodes, which start today, aren’t the same as our usual TV highlights reels, though, since they feature not interviews, but the informational chats that we had at the start of each episode.<br> In this episode — the first of our six summer specials — we’ll feature our “Ramblings” from Episodes 1 through 5 of the TV show, where we discuss each of our vegan histories; tap-dancing; international animal activism; cat videos; how to veganize your Passover Seder plate; and more.<br> To curate these segments, we welcome back Our Hen House’s own Media Coordinator Alessandra Seiter, of the blog <a href="http://chickpeasandchange.wordpress.com">Chickpeas & Change</a>.<br> You can listen to our podcast directly on our website (beneath this paragraph!) or you can listen and subscribe on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/our-hen-house/id350069146" target="_blank">iTunes</a> or <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/jasmin-singer/our-hen-house" target="_blank">Stitcher</a>!
