Fur What It's Worth episodes

June 07, 2015S4 – Episode 15: Open Topic
Our guest canceled last minute, so we called Klik the Donkey, and had a deluxe length open topic episode! Listen as we discuss the topics of importance: Grilled cheese, convention badge policies, Nintendo’s colossal **** ups, fair use and derivative copyright, Roo doing his best screamo music, and more. Roo and Tugs had coffee before this one, so even the driest of topics will be entertaining. We also have Space News and special surprises hidden throughout!

May 09, 2015S4 Episode 14 – Drugs in the Fandom
Astounding poet and guest, Morris Stegosaurus, joins Roo and Tugs in a deep discussion about how drugs and drug use is perceived in the fandom. Is it as prevalent as one might think? What’s with “HURRR it’s FUR TWENTY HURR” culture? And has the attitude toward treating drug abuse as criminal instead of mental hurt or help society? We answer these questions and more, then jump right into THE GAME and some housekeeping. Awaiting you during the break this episode as well is a brand new space news, done in a new style!

April 12, 2015S4 Special 3 – FWIW at BABSCon 2015
FWIW was pleasantly surprised when we learned we were invited back to the Bay Area Brony Spectacular, BABSCon, this year. While last year we wanted to know how furry conventions and a brony convention are similar, this year we looked to get the perspective of the professionals involved in the show and their thoughts on furry. Tugs, guest host Haku, and Koru (!) share their thoughts on the event, followed by an extended interview with Cathy Weseluck, who voices Spike and Mayor Mare on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

This episode also has a very special version of Space News, so be sure to check it out on the show notes page!
