Summary: Welcome to the 298th episode of Our Hen House, featuring <a href="http://www.nickcooney.com" target="_blank">Nick Cooney</a>, with a review of Miyoko Schinner’s <a href="http://miyokoskitchen.com/miyoko/" target="_blank">The Homemade Vegan Pantry</a> (review by the wonderful <a href="https://twitter.com/cubancuervo" target="_blank">Amanda Crow</a>). As always, the Our Hen House podcast is co-hosted by us — <a href="http://www.jasminsinger.com/" target="_blank">Jasmin Singer</a> and Mariann Sullivan.<br> On today’s episode, we discuss teeny tiny (vegan) grilled cheese sandwiches (thanks, <a href="http://www.jayastafa.com" target="_blank">Jay Astafa</a>, <a href="http://www.vegnews.com" target="_blank">VegNews</a>, and <a href="http://www.mooshoes.com" target="_blank">MooShoes</a>!); fancypants restaurants; the stellar LGBT outlets that <a href="http://www.ourhenhouse.org/press" target="_blank">covered</a> our new video, <a href="http://bit.ly/ARgayR" target="_blank">Coming Out for Animals</a> (join our <a href="https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/31638-coming-out-for-animals" target="_blank">Thunderclap campaign</a> so that we can spread the word about this video as part of National Coming Out Day!); and evidence that the whole issue of what really happens on “humane” farms is bubbling to the surface. We’ll have plenty of “Rising Anxieties” today, too, as well as current events from the world of animal rights.<br> For our feature interview, activist and author <a href="http://www.nickcooney.com" target="_blank">Nick Cooney</a> will be talking with us about <a href="http://The%20whole%20issue%20of%20what%20really%20happens%20on%20humane%20farms%20is%20bubbling%20to%20the%20surface." target="_blank">How to Be Great at Doing Good</a>.<br> Then, animal advocate <a href="https://twitter.com/cubancuervo" target="_blank">Amanda Crow</a> will give us her take on Miyoko Schinner’s latest book, <a href="http://miyokoskitchen.com/miyoko/" target="_blank">The Homemade Vegan Pantry</a>.<br> All that, vegan banter, and of course, current events from the world of animal rights. There’s a ton of Rising Anxieties today, too — so hold onto your seitan.
