From Hollywood to Hay: Lena Dunham on Life with Her Pigs

https://mikkoschoice.com/

In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, Autumn welcomes actress, writer, and director Lena Dunham to share her deeply personal and refreshingly honest journey into the world of pig parenting. From childhood dreams of being a pig farmer (without knowing what that truly meant) to life with her two beloved pigs, Victor and Cherry, Lena brings humor, insight, and an immense love for pigs to the mic.

Lena recounts the magical — and messy — experience of bringing Victor home for the first time, learning how different pigs are from dogs, and the eye-opening lessons about boundaries, bonding, and behavior that raising pigs has taught her (including some that surprisingly apply to human relationships). She also shares how discovering The Pet Pig Podcast helped her navigate those early days of confusion and joy, and how Cherry, who came from Autumn's program, became the perfect companion for Victor.

Together, Autumn and Lena explore what it really takes to be a good pig parent, from respecting pigs as pigs — not dogs or babies — to understanding their intelligence, emotional complexity, and social needs. Whether you're already living with pigs or dreaming of the day, Lena's story is a charming, honest, and educational ride from the red carpet to the pig pen.

Lena reminds us that pigs have a way of changing our lives — not by fitting into our world, but by inviting us into theirs. This episode is a celebration of that transformation, of embracing imperfection, and of learning to meet our animals where they are. It's a must-listen for anyone who's ever loved a pig — or been surprised by how much a pig could teach them about life, love, and letting go.
