January 06, 2013S2 Episode 19 – Drama and the Fandom
What is up with Drama? Seriously. So many seem to hate it, but it remains prevalent in the fandom to this day. Zato joins hosts Roo and Tugs as they try to determine why this contradiction persists in pestering our lives. During the show, we also read your emails, suggest tips on how to avoid drama, and more. We also present a new Top 10 and THE GAME as we torture Zato for coming on this deep-dive of an episode.

December 10, 2012S2 Episode 17 – Lights, Camera, Fursuit! – Media and the Fandom
If the Furry Fandom loathes one thing universally, it has to be the media. Syd Stoat, movie producer and furry con co-chair, joins hosts Roo and Tugs as they explore the world of media and how it interacts with the Furry Fandom. Does the media really have a negative bias toward furries? How has the media changed with respect to the fandom? Does Syd know anything about his species? We find out. Also featured this episode is a special clip from ActFur on Air, THE Game, a food review, and more!

November 25, 2012S2 Episode 16 – To Pop or Not to Pop: That is the Question. Ruining the Magic.
It’s a question popular for the furry fandom over the last few years – is it appropriate to pop your top in public spaces? Klik joins Roo and a very sick Tugs as they explore this highly divisive topic and attempt to discover what the best solution possible is for both sides of the argument. Afterward, all hell breaks loose: they open the reader mailbag, see the return of the game, discover Roo’s sense of geography, and debate a listener’s question about animal rights versus character traits. Hilarity ensues!

October 23, 2012S2 Special 1 – FWIW Live! at Anime Banzai
Roo and Tugs took a trip up to the local anime convention, Anime Banzai, and brought the show along for the ride.

And a special live show-only game with real prizes was played. If you missed the show, this is your chance to join in and have fun with everyone!

October 17, 2012S2 Episode 14 – Furry Romance: Is the Bark Worse than the Bite?
Dating, finding your soulmate, the person who loves you, and the heartbreak experienced on the way are all part of the human condition, but how is it different to the furry condition? Is it worth dating solely inside the fandom? What qualities make a good mate in or out of the fandom? How is dating different with furries? What do you do when someone you’re dating for years tears you apart for having a fursona? Roo and Tugs explore these questions, and also briefly detour into how to handle bullies, in this double length episode. Join the hosts, plus guests Space and Kadj, for one intense ride as we explore dating in the Furry Fandom.
