The end goal for a vast majority of members of the furry fandom is to make friends with their fellow fandom members. But trying to make friends in any social space is difficult and since the journey is different for everyone, trying to make a guide for any furry to follow to make friends is quite futile. However, one piece of the friend-making puzzle is finding other common interests or hobbies that other furries have. On this episode, we take a look at some of the other things that furries...

The furry fandom is a pretty cool place to be, and I'm sure many members of the community would agree. But, like any group of humans, it's not perfect, and in order to help fix some of its flaws, it's important to identity what those flaws are in the first place.

As a hobby, being a furry is weird. It might be something that someone engages with a lot, but might not want to tell everyone about up front, especially if that includes their parents, guardians, or primary caretakers. But it's hard to hide something this all-encompassing and those in charge of raising you are going to find out and potentially want to learn more. On this episode, we take a look at how to best explain to your parents or equivalent figures about the wonderful furry fandom,...

As someone who travels pretty frequently, I can sometimes forget how complicated the process of attending a furry convention. There's a lot of things to keep track of, and even if you have the basic pitfalls accounted for, there are still some unexpected struggles of attending a con that not figuring out can break an otherwise fantastic event. I've fallen victim to some of the struggles at some of the cons I've been through, but that also gives me a chance to talk about them here, in an...

Nick Wilde. Legoshi. Lucario. What is the one thing that ties these anthropomorphic animal characters together? Many in the fandom would describe those characters as "furry bait."
