Fur What It's Worth

The Bay Area Brony Spectacular invited FWIW to attend their event in San Francisco to see how the Furry Fandom and Brony Fandom compare and what they have in common. This episode, we share our findings, all recorded on site.

It’s a question popular for the furry fandom over the last few years – is it appropriate to pop your top in public spaces?

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.
