Radio interview for Verdibørsen on poultry welfare recorded April 7th

The interview with me on animal welfare in the poultry industry, and the lives of chickens in factory halls, for the national Norwegian public radio station NRK P2's program "Verdibørsen" [the value exchange], was recorded in studio (Marienlyst, Oslo) on April 7th, with Kai Sibbern. The interview was broadcasted April 12th and 13th.

This was the second time I was interviewed on Verdibørsen, and the third time I was featured (see previous posts). The pretext for this specific interview was a seminar organised in the Norwegian parliament by Minding Animals Norway in collaboration with Norway's Green Party.
