NEW SHOW: A joyful whirlwind of compassion, laughter, and unapologetic truth‑telling. Joined by the brilliant Jen Armstrong — professionally known as Vegan Queen V — and the ever‑iconic Joyce, the pigeon lady herself, founder of Little Green Pigeon. Martina dives into what a cruelty‑free Christmas can look and feel like.
Between the giggles, they don't shy away from the darker realities of the season, tackling subjects like fox hunting. The show sparkled with Vegan Queen V’s festive parodies and the uplifting harmonies of the Animal Rights Choir, turning activism into celebration. By the time “Free the World (Do They Know It’s Hunting Time Again),” is introduced the tone was perfectly set — a holly‑jolly blend of satire, solidarity, and seasonal cheer. It is the kind of episode that leaves listeners smiling, thinking, and feeling just a little more connected — to animals, to each other, and to the possibility of a kinder Christmas.
