Greetings and welcome dear and venerable listeners. It is I, the blue and grey scaled one taking command of the website for the time being. Fear not, the hare is still very much here, staring over my shoulder, glaring at me as I write. I feel his eyes boring into me like… well nevermind that.
Tonight’s show had nine e-mails waiting, but alas we could not read them all. We attempted to read the most relevant messages, saving three letters for the next show. Our deepest apologies. We do so hate not getting through all our e-mails in a single show.
We begin with having forgotten what this episode was to be called and learning something that explains a good deal about Kyo and how he became the way he became. From there we move on to Pee Wee’s Playhouse, Halfwit letting another lady fondle her to discover that yes… those are indeed real, Kyo using his prosthetic breasts as a melee weapon, and all of this before Istanbul is slain by a gunshot wound to the head. And immediately revived.
Cast discussion involved me explaining a story about the strife my family has been going through within the last week, and all that it meant. Halfwit’s word of the week ‘Aver’ is provided and her topic runs away. Istanbul mentions the new pope, though it seems he has trouble pronouncing it, we have begun his elocution lessons, and then mentions that we have been nominated for an Ursa Major award! I made some terrible my little pony reference and we moved on. Kyo described a video series he intends to start up soon regarding lessons in how to um… ‘werk’ I believe it is… your drag.
When we get to the e-mails, we have five that we read. The first was about a dragon fellow who has grown distant with his parents, which drew out a good deal of discussion. The second was a bit simpler, asking about the appropriate level of swearing which was answered fairly quickly. The third was about a young fellow who was removed from his family at a very young age and has only just recently been permitted contact with them again, struggling to connect.
The music break came forth and then the fourth message was read, discussing a longtime listener whose father had a minor stroke. Our sympathies are extended and hope to hear he recovers fully. The fifth letter was quite long and delved quite deeply into the dynamic between him, his father, his mother, and between both parents. Again, our sympathies for struggling with such unpleasantness. The sixth and final message was about a listener who had grown distant from a sister he had once been close with. He wanted to know if he could mend the relationship or if it was a lost cause.
A lot of very good, very deeply insightful e-mails we wanted to read very much. As mentioned, we will read the other three next week.
In other news, as mentioned on the show, with the upcoming move and relocation of ‘Fuzzy Logic Headquarters’ may bring with it a few changes. We will do our best to keep the core of the show unchanged, but we may have to change the day we record, and how frequently we record. When things change so drastically, it is sometimes necessary to alter the dynamic a bit to make sure those involved do not become unpleasant or too work-like. We are considering opening a Google voice phone number to accept voicemail. We are pondering interviewing guests when possible, to help add something new to the show. Other ideas are being considered as well. More updates will be provided as information develops.
As mentioned, our show has been nominated for an Ursa Major award for best magazine! We thank you all for your support and your kind words. Please, follow the link below to vote for us!
You will have to log in in order to vote. Spread the word! Share the love! Infect your neighbor!
Next week’s episode will be about travel and vacations, not necessarily furry conventions, though we are happy to accept those, we would like to hear about other trips you are planning, you would like to take, or that you have taken in the past. As always, please try to have your e-mails in by 6pm, central time. Write us, tweet at us, watch us on Fur Affinity, rate and comment on iTunes. We adore feedback!
Until next time, we thank you for your time, dear listener, and I do apologize as it seems I was a tad long-winded both during recording and during this summary. So sorry about that. I shall stop now before I get all British and overly apologetic. Oh dear, it’s too late, I’ve gotten all.
This week’s music break:
Linkin Park – Bleed It Out, from the album Minutes To Midnight

Return of the Street Sharks
One of the admittedly stranger TV series of the 1990′s was DIC’s Street Sharks, which ran from 1994 to 1995. Created by David Siegel and Joe Galliani of Mr. Joe’s Really Big Productions, the series followed the adventures of four teenage brothers who were transformed into human-shark mutants by an evil scientist’s genetic manipulations. Yes, yes, the show was riding on the coat-tails of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — in fact, it directly spoofed Turtles on more than one occasion. Previously, only a handful of Street Sharks episodes have been available on tape or DVD. But now Mill Creek Entertainment have announced that they are releasing all 40 episodes of the original series in a 4-DVD set at a reduced price. The set is available now at Amazon and other dealers.

So who else went to Furry Weekend Atlanta?
Just curious! I don't feel comfortable posting my FA username publicly but I'll send it in a message if anyone wants to know.
It was my first con and I had a blast. My suit is still a little damp from all the dancing I did though x_x

Time to imagine my first fursona me thinks. What were some mistakes you made first time around that you went on to fix with subsequent fursonas?
Any other furs going to Frolicon this year?
As the title says, anyone else going to Frolicon in Atlanta, GA? Kinda long distance for me, but hoping to do some meet'n'greets while out there.

Furries Ruin Everything?
Guest Post by Tenza. Tenza is a fox, but he’s the truest epitome of bricolage.
On March 8, 2013, a certain tweet resulted in something much different than the normal circle-jerking, chicanery, or otherwise aloof things furries usually do. Yes, it was an awful joke about women. Furthermore, the poor handling of the situation by the tweet’s author gave many of us the impression there wasn’t really contrition there, rather it had to come about from arm-twisting. Many of us dug in and were serious for once. Even though I’m referring to one particular incident, I decided to turn inward and think about this in a wider furry context. That’s when it hit me: can we really have nice things after all?
The common moniker about “furries ruining everything” has only as much truth as you’re willing to give it. Let’s look at this another way: if the fandom has been effectively slandered by those outside it (e.g. the mass media), then why would so many in the fandom be willing to empower such patently false attitudes? The very fact that so many of us are compelled to “come out” as furries attests to the fact that there’s this notion that the fandom is tainted in some way — granted that may be phenomenologically dependent on one’s experiences in the fandom.
However this notion of a tainted fandom is what underpins “furries ruin everything”. Many of us (I’ve said it in the past, admittedly) have probably uttered this phrase seriously or sarcastically, but have we really critically examined it? It’s only a matter of time before the next mass-media interview or documentary about furries is broadcast and when it does take place, there’s going to be much commentary about it. Why? Because when the lens is turned upon us, many are compelled to defend the furry fandom — by extension, it’s also self-defense given its the venue by which we express ourselves. So then if the furry fandom is then very much a ruined thing, then why are so many of us ready to pick up the banner when it’s besmirched?
One thing that’s unique about the furry fandom is that it’s an amalgam of both creative products and personality facets. We don’t need to be top-down and fully reliant on canon like other fandoms. We are a burgeoning resource of both original and fan-created work. What attests to the vitality of the furry fandom is that there’s a market for these works. Many would even argue that furry isn’t a fandom with respect to other bodies of organized fan practice. There’s also a sizable lifestyle element to the furry fandom as well. It’s what compels us to annually visit conventions for camaraderie, to organize gatherings in smaller locales and in more extreme cases, this “second home” is why some furries are even alive. For some of us, it’s clear if our involvement is predicated on production or socialization. It then makes for a defined division of participation. For others, it becomes a bit more complicated with overlapping elements of each dimension.
I’m not trying to revive old and morally pretentious arguments here, but I really think the furry fandom absolutely lacks a compass. When compared to other fandoms, the composite members of the furry fandom don’t know what they want as goals for the furry community. When you have a community that has no compass, it then has no sense of direction. What happens (and is still on-going) is an ever-growing a litany of conflicts and incidents that take place in order to determine what exactly the direction is. For example, some of us that have been in the furry fandom for a considerable amount of time have seen the transitions between various galleries and the transition from furry-created websites to social media. Another reason that I feel the furry fandom doesn’t have much of a compass is that it doesn’t know where its been. For many participants, significant furry milestones or forerunners are not well-known. Most understand recent events, but for example, how many of you know about Albedo Anthropomorphics or Mark Merlino?
One pervasive trait of the furry fandom seems to be that there’s always an air of contention that can be found. In other words, when something particularly salient hits the fandom we all seem to react to it. I have jokingly tweeted that the furry fandom is like World War I in that when something major happens, you get to see where all the alliances show up and who defends whom — turns out I was very much right in the case of March 8. In the domain of the furry fandom, there are seldom clear-cut cases of both championed and reviled people. Often, there’s a metaphorical hung jury when it comes to disputes. There’s an unwillingness to put aside personal sympathies or the gains of popularity for transparency. The result is usually no sort of middle ground in between. I find it troubling that many people feel the “all or nothing” proposition is an acceptable one. This transpires time and again when there are disputes about who did or didn’t deliver/was genuine about commissioned work, who decided entertain the mass-media’s latest interview, or any furry that transgressed in some way but can rely on their influence to keep them beyond rebuke. In other words, by relying on our sympathies and our alliances too much, we cannot then effectively police ourselves.
Addressing social issues, severe violations of conduct, bad consumer practices and even aesthetic principles should not be seen as faux pas in the furry fandom. It needs to be encouraged so that we can suss out a trajectory for its products and its participants. Some furries are so worried about creating a fuss that they’ll do anything to avoid any sort of discomfit at all. Why? Well, to rock the boat is often met with derision because it takes the focus off of the escapist aspects of the fandom. That is, if the furry fandom is an escape from the mundane activities and stresses of the real world, why do anything to upset that? Even when something did in fact need to be said, there is a fear by many that they’ll be branded as hostile or combative. With that said, I’m not supporting spiteful contention for its own sake, but rather we need to present points between ourselves for a greater good and commensurately chastise those that negatively impact the furry fandom outright.
While incidents such as that tweet and its reception are often viewed as an unwanted stress, if you do not want this fandom to collapse under its own surfeit or hesitation then more instances of this will need to happen. It seems strange that furries want to uphold simultaneously notions that this fandom is deprived and depraved yet at the same time incredibly diverse and incredibly creative. In short, what is it do you really want? Instead of accepting a falsely construed fate of “furries ruin everything”, have some nerve to address things, clean house and flourish. Otherwise, you are all complicit in the process of living in a shadowed fandom and maintaining the status quo you frequently complain about.
Wolf Robe
I was thinking today as I put on my robe how awesome it would be to have a robe that matches my fursona (shadow wolf). Does anyone know of a place to find such a product? A quick Google search didn't show much.

Do you remember cliques? They were those exclusivist social groups everyone talked about in high school, but they extend beyond those walls and show up in many places. Perhaps you are even in one without realizing it. That is not always bad, though; it is normal for people to find like-minded others. Listen and give your thoughts below.
