| 6/17/26 |  Ep59: Summer Break! | Join us this week for a short episode as we share our plans for the summer and announce a short break before season 3! We are working on some big things behind the scenes and we can't wait to unleash them on the world :) Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn to stay up to date on all that is Bailing Out Benji! | 10m 01s | ||||||
| 6/10/26 |  Ep58: Canine Welfare Science Conference | On this week's episode, Kristen and Mindi sit down to recap the latest conference we attended! At the end of May, Mindi and Alexis hit the road to attend the Canine Welfare Science Conference at Purdue University, where they met up with a Bailing Out Benji volunteer attending in person while another joined virtually from home. What happens when animal welfare advocates pull up a chair at tables filled with commercial dog breeders? A lot of listening, a lot of learning, and some surprisingly p... | 1h 04m 12s | ||||||
| 6/3/26 |  Ep57: Shots! Shots! Shots! | On this week's episode of "Truth, Lies, and Puppy Mills" we chat about the community vaccine clinic that our little nonprofit fully sponsored! We do this annually in partnership with our city shelter, and this year we had a record-breaking year. After the spots filled up within a day, the shelter asked us if we could sponsor twice the amount of animals! This isn't a cost they are able to front, and we know that the need is higher than ever... so of course we said yes! Beyond that, we gi... | 46m 39s | ||||||
| 5/27/26 |  Ep56: Shelters We Love: Marshalltown ARL | Through our work, we are blessed to be surrounded by amazing people who are doing amazing things for animals (and the humans that love them!)- like Austin and Jodi with the Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown. This dynamic duo has done incredible work in getting their rural shelter noticed by their community and by national organizations! Tune in this week to hear more about the issues that shelters in Iowa are facing and how innovative solutions can open up the doors for even more com... | 57m 37s | ||||||
| 5/20/26 |  Ep55: Fetching Attention | This week, Mindi and Kristen kick off the episode by chatting about our experience with a local company that spent time with us to create videos and PSAs for our social media channels. We've learned a lot about what gets picked up on different platforms the best, and we've also learned to let ourselves look a little silly online (if that means more people see our message!) This episode evolves into a conversation regarding the latest breeder bust in Missouri and how weird exemptions to ... | 43m 02s | ||||||
| 5/13/26 |  Ep54: KP Goes National! | Y'all this week we are TIRED! Kristen flew across the country to table at her first ever national conference and then we recorded this one day after she got back (and one hour after our monthly free pet food pantry!) So you are most definitely getting our sharpest thoughts and sweaty selves today :) Tune into this fun episode where Kristen shares the information she learned while being out in the field! She heard so much from shelters across the country about what they are facing ... | 1h 01m 26s | ||||||
| 5/6/26 |  Ep53: Indiana Puppy Mill Bust | On this week's episode of "Truth, Lies, and Puppy Mills", Alexis, Kristen, and Mindi talk about the recent puppy mill bust in Indiana and how lax laws across the country allow for animals to fall between the cracks. We discuss our research into the recently cancelled licensed breeders and talk about what steps can be taken to make laws more uniform across the country.

| 4/29/26 |  Ep52: Benji is 15! | Our little baby organization is officially 15 years old! So much has happened during that time and we have already accomplished so much. Tune in this week as Kristen and Mindi walk back through time and chat about some of the biggest ways that our work has had an influence on the world- and vice versa. We have lofty goals for the future and we can't do it without you!

| 4/22/26 |  Ep51: Helping Both Ends of the Leash | For years, “animal rescue” meant putting animals first no matter what. But the conversation is quickly changing and, because of that, so is the impact. In our latest podcast episode, Kristen and Jalaine sit down with Cayla from The Pet Project Midwest and Abbey from The Animal Rescue League of Iowa to discuss how our organizations work together regularly to share food and resources so we can help support families in need. Through our community work, each organization has come to understand t... | 1h 03m 37s | ||||||
| 4/15/26 |  Ep50: Animal Rights vs Animal Welfare | On this week's episode, Mindi and Kristen take a closer look at the conversation around animal rights and animal welfare. These two approaches are often talked about, but are not always understood or recognized as two different belief systems. We explore where these perspectives come from, where they overlap, and how they shape the way people work to help animals. As always, we are having another nuanced discussion, one that reflects the complexity of this work and the different paths people ... | 47m 14s | ||||||

| 4/8/26 |  Ep49: The Trauma of it All | What happens when the work you love starts to shape who you are or when the baggage you carry dictates where you go? In this week's episode, Jalaine and Kristen dig into something we don’t talk about enough in animal welfare: trauma. Not just the heartbreak we witness, but how it compounds over time with case after case and story after story. All of that begins to live in us and influences our choices. We are joined by Emily, a licensed mental health counselor to explore what it means w... | 1h 07m 18s | ||||||
| 4/1/26 |  Ep48: Great Research, Greater Responsibility | As our research has expanded over the years, our understanding of the industry has deepened. With that came a strong sense of responsibility to turn away from generalizations and approximations, and instead focus on what we know... The research and the data that comes from it. Alexis says it perfectly: "With great research, comes great responsibility". Tune in this week as Jalaine, Alexis, and Kristen chat about our database and the different ways we hope that people will use it.... | 34m 36s | ||||||
| 3/25/26 |  Ep47: The Greater Good | On this week's episode of "Truth, Lies, and Puppy Mills", we invite you to step outside of the usual outrage cycle and into something a little more nuanced and hopeful. As the USDA proposes changes that could reshape oversight of the commercial breeding industry, we go back to the question that drives our work: what if real change isn’t about calling out individuals, but about creating systems that actually improve dogs’ lives over time? Today you will hear us speak candidly and honestly abou... | 1h 00m 56s | ||||||
| 3/18/26 |  Ep46: Lessons Learned | After a busy few weeks, Mindi and Kristen are back in the nook talking updates! On this week's episode we chat about Mindi's trip to DC and how she was able to learn from a few Chiefs of Staff about effective advocacy and how to get your message heard. We also talk about Kristen's first experience tuning into a hearing about a puppy store ban and we talk about the negative side effects of both 'sides' filling the room with people who all essentially say the same thing... for 7 hours straight.... | 52m 36s | ||||||
| 3/11/26 |  Ep45: Hello, Clarisse | This week Alexis and Kristen sit down with our intern/part time employee Clarisse to talk about her passion for animals and how she found our organization! We met Clarisse through the group she volunteered for "Students Helping Rescue Animals". | 43m 18s | ||||||
| 3/4/26 |  Ep44: The USDA's Puppy Mill Crackdown! | On this week's episode of "Truth, Lies, and Puppy Mills", join Alexis, Kristen, and Mindi as we chat through the USDA's plan on how they will be cracking down on puppy mills. We talk about what they say, what we think, and what we hope will come of this initiative. We also talk about how our online research will be a crucial tool for the USDA and state agencies as they begin their quest to bring breeders who sell online into compliance. Learn more about what we know about online brokers... | 59m 07s | ||||||
| 2/25/26 |  Ep43: Transparency Goes Live! | On this week's episode, join Mindi and Alexis as they chat about the release of our NEW directory! This website allows you to see even more of our research at your finger tips. You can search pet stores, online websites, breeders, brokers, and compare your state laws to others! We are proud to be the resource that people have come to trust for the most current and accurate data surrounding the puppy mill industry.

| 2/18/26 |  Ep42: Pedigrees, Popularity and Perception | This week we invite you to tune in and listen to our stream of consciousness as we try to work through some of the harder conversations surrounding pedigrees and breeds! We want to remind people that we always tell you what we absolutely know, and then we tell you what we don't know but think or have opinions on. As we dive into different perspectives on issues like registries, doodles, and consumers, please remember that we bring these issues up and talk through them so we can all cont... | 57m 16s | ||||||
| 2/11/26 |  Ep41: Dispatch, Driving, and Dogs | This week Alexis and Mindi chat with Rosie, our part-time assistant research analyst! On top of working 911 dispatch in Des Moines, Iowa and monitoring USDA records for our team, Rosie volunteers for two Shiba Inu rescues. Listen as we talk about rescue missions, creeping from the road, and the heartbreaking side of getting discarded dogs from puppy mills. Rosie also shares her perspective on our field research and how it challenged her to evolve how she works to end this inhumane industry.&n... | 56m 11s | ||||||
| 2/4/26 |  Ep40: Rethinking Puppy Mill Messaging | The words we use every day matter. They shape perception, they influence behavior, and they have the power to tear someone down or build them up. After taking the time to reflect on puppy mill advocacy and the language we use, our team sat down and started writing down the different ways our own terminology has evolved over the last few years. Join Mindi and Kristen this week as they chat through some of these language changes and then reach out to us to share your thoughts! And Mindi d... | 1h 04m 41s | ||||||
| 1/28/26 |  Ep39: This Is Not Normal... | In today’s brief episode, we’re pausing our regular programming to acknowledge the heaviness that so many of us are carrying. At Bailing Out Benji, our work is rooted in research, accountability, and protecting dogs and their families from harm, but today we’re showing up as people before we show up as advocates. This raw episode is a reminder to breathe, to step back if you need to, and to give yourself permission to rest in a world that too often feels relentless. You don’t need to have the... | 27m 26s | ||||||
| 1/14/26 |  Ep38: What's in a Message? | What if the way we talk about animal welfare is just as important as the policies we fight for? In this episode, we’re joined by Hanna Lentz from SPARC for a candid and necessary conversation about the messaging that happens in the animal welfare world. How everything we say shapes public perception and affects real-world outcomes for animals and the people who love them. We dig into our everyday interactions with the public- the moments that build trust, the moments that shut people down, an... | 57m 52s | ||||||
| 1/14/26 |  Ep37: Times are Changin' | This week's episode was recorded back in November, but the sentiment remains the same! The times are changing and we are excited to be leading the charge. Sit with Alexis, Kristen, and Mindi as they chat about a few conferences they attended at the end of last year and how the vibe is evolving among advocates. More people are seeing the importance of laying down the swords and working together to create change for animals and the people who love them. Civil discourse with people who don... | 1h 00m 03s | ||||||
| 1/7/26 |  Ep36: Our Year of Impact! | HAPPY NEW YEAR and welcome back to Truth, Lies, and Puppy Mills! Join Alexis, Jalaine, Kristen, and Mindi this week as we chat about the impact that we had in 2025 and what our goals are for 2026.
