Hope for the Animals

Hope’s latest interview with photographer and author Isabella La Rocca Gonzalez is a wide ranging and deep conversation. Another episode so worth listening to, of a podcast that is always informative and moving.

Excellent variety of topics, super-informative guests, and Hope is an excellent host! Very educational and informative, and I highly recommend the “reason for vegan” series of episodes for new and long-time vegans alike.

This is a lovely, informative podcast that I enjoy listening to when I want a change from true crime. There are a couple glitches for me, though: the beginning editorializing doesn't seem always necessary. I understand it if there's some breaking news for or against animals/activists, but otherwise I just prefer the podcast to begin. I always fast-forward through this, and part of that may be the sound. I'm not yet caught up, but I'm currently listening to episodes from 2022, and the sound quality not good. It's too quiet. Possibly if that can be fixed, then the beginning 5-10 minutes would also be great to listen to. The other thing that makes this podcast go from "okay" to "wonderful" is just the thing that happens on any podcast that depends on the interview format: some guests/topics are just more interesting than others. That can't really be helped, I realize. But this is such a necessary and well-done podcast overall. I would love for more people to listen to this critical information, especially environmental activists who almost uniformly completely igore the impact of animal ag on climate. Super job! I am still catching up on it, but always look forward to it.

A great podcast for vegans or those not yet vegan. Wonderful guests and thoughtful conversations. Inspiring and hopeful.
