The Spectacular Rise of Infurnity + More About Taiwanese Furs Feat. J.C., Fox and Burger Podcast Episode 19.

----

We sure do love Taiwan! Because for this month’s episode, we’re going back to the Heart of Asia. Our guest of honor today has been someone on our list for a very, very long time. He’s yellow, he’s a cat - you guessed it, it’s J.C. the yellow cat from Taiwan. J.C. has been in the fandom for almost 20 years and is the current con chair of Infurnity, the largest fur con here in Taiwan. In this episode, we asked him questions about Infurnity and Taiwanese furries overall, plus we featured some questions from you guys, the audience. Let’s give a big meow for J.C.!

Correction:

The website that J.C. mentioned at 04:23 is actually https://fanart.lionking.org/
