Very few things can serve as a shortcut to an emotional response as a name. Everyone has one and everyone has an opinion. Legal? Preferred? Other? What's a so-called "real name", anyway? Roo and Tugs are joined by guest Icarus to explore this topic and read everyone's email on this sensitive topic. We also have Space News and a new episode of "Get Psyched", after which we crack open the mailbag and hear what's going on with you!

Roo and Tugs are joined by artist and Pokésona LilChu as they discuss the world of Pokésonas. Why do these exist? Are there different rules? Is it a bleed over in the style of Bronies? Some of the answers may surprise you! Roo asks all kinds of strange questions, Tugs loses his mind, and Chu...melts. We also have a DOUBLE food review, THE GAME, Space News, and Get Psyched!

Next episode: Some furries use their fan names. Some furries use their legal names. Some start with one and go to the other. Names are important in our fandom, so what are your thoughts? Tell us before September 9, 2016. (NOTE: "Real name" can mean many things depending on who you ask! "Legal" and "Fan" names are terms we suggest.)

Roo is joined in studio by Kilk, Tenax, and Quynn as they read your emails about how you discovered the furry fandom! They discuss their own entries into the fandom (and how they varied across the years), what draws people to the fandom, and more. We also play the game, have fresh space news, Get Psyched! and more!

Next episode: Pokésonas! Are you one? Do you know those who have one? What is the draw into this specific fursona type? Send your comments by August 25, 2016!

Roo and Tugs re-arranged the studio and put on their asbestos suits to prepare for this episode and preserve the history of the fandom - Burned Furries! We are joined by first hand witness to the events, Sophianna Katana, who joined the furry fandom in 1991. While she's no longer part of the furry fandom, it doesn't mean she doesn't have mesmerizing stories to tell. This is the story of the Burned Furries like you've never heard before. We also have a NEW segment, Space News, and Get Psyched!

Programming note: Due to the studio re-arrangement, we do have some small audio hiccups in this episode. We're sorry!

Due to second life (job) interfering with our ability to get the end of season recap done, we recorded this episode instead. It's a RAW episode of FWIW! No edits. Just Roo and Tugs. We discuss various topics, play Space News and Get Psyched!, clear out the mailbag, and see the return of a couple jokes missing from last season. Roo also lets us know how much he likes being...well, you know.

Roo and Tugs are joined by Nuka once again as they explore the world of toxic parents in the context of furry. What are toxic parents? Should you be concerned about them? What do you do if you think you have one? What's the difference between toxic and abusive behavior? We read your emails, share personal stories, and more, as we explore this subject which is close to home for many. We also have continued Space News with Dr. Buzz Aldrin, a new old-timey ad, and some audio from Salt Lake Comic Con FanX 2016.
