Sneppurrsode 14: A Howl of a Good Time

Zef, BlueWolf and TigerAcolyte interview several VA Howl 2021 attendees live, in purrson!

The crew offers their own personal reflections of the experience, then Blayz gives a nudge to Canadian therians to start working on coordinating a Howl up thar thataway!

As a special bonus, we offer a Dear Badgie segment that seems to have actually broken Stormdancer. Bwahaha!

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Village (Chuffcore)

Two brave tigers sing the unsung song of their people and explore the nuances of legend, parallel dimensions and unpaid twilight AWOO fines oft neglected in mainstream narrative storytelling.

Happy Sketchtember, Therian community! Remember to do fun, derpy stuff with your friends! ^^

Sneppurrsode 13 - UnlickyThirteen

Striped Coyote, Blayz, BluwuWolf, StormDancer (the coffee table of murder) and TigerAcolyte decide to abandon structure and have sort of a hangout session.

Blayz discusses his recent walkabout experience, the crew reflects on the healing and grounding that comes with connecting with nature, and the crew discusses the upcoming VA Howl while sharing details about next year's CO Howl.

The crew then delves into the Sketchtember community effort (and creativity in general) before discussing the importance of the FurScience 2021 survey and prior efforts.

The session closes up with a secret project from TA and Zef (disclaimer: we refuse to be held responsible for the resulting ear murder) and, as always, questionable life advice in our Dear Badgie segment.

Sneppurrsode 12: Therianthropy Through Time… Time… Time…

The WereAreWe crew is joined by WolfVanZandt for some general nonsense and meowlarky because, let's face it... it's kinda what you guys expect at this point.

The crew catches up on life things for a bit, briefly discuss PinkDolphin's recent interview video on "The Grey Agenda", Stormy and Zef give details for upcoming Howls, then the crew introduces WVZ and talks about the Therian Timeline!

After that, Blayz introduces our "Therianthropy Through Time... Time... Time..." segment and shares thoughts with WVZ and the rest of the crew pertaining to therianthropy as it may have been experienced in the earlier phases of human history.

(Phew, we kinda cover a lot this time!)

Stormy makes us need a lawyer again in the Dear Badgie segment and... tl;dr, we're purrobably canceled again.

Sneppurrsode 11 - Therian Parenting: Who’s Your Dadgie?!

The WereAreWe crew tackles the subject of parenting from a therian purrspective.

What are some parenting difficulties a therian may face? Is it ever a good idea to tell your kids you're a therian? What are ways of balancing therian and parent experiences? These topics, and more, from a variety of adult purrspectives!

Blayz steps in as OrangeWolf, Zef is playing hookey (or maybe he was kitten-napped?), and Dear Badgie provides solid advice for working adults whose brains confuse "Zoom Meetings" with "ZOOMIES!"

Recurring cast: BlayzicOrange Wolf, PunkinSpiceOrange Wolf, Tiger Acolyte, BlackPaws, Bluewolf, Stormdancer, BearX.

Sneppurrsode 10 - Awereness of Awakenings

The WereAreWe crew discusses a common topic for therians - "Awakenings"! Thanks to the suggestion from Scorpion at WereList!

Each of the crew members tells about what their own personal awakening process was like, in hopes of clearing up misconceptions and helping others have a less confusing time with their own self-exploration.

Blayz introduces a new member to the crew, as well as a new segment which we'll dive into next time (parenting and therianthropy).

And, of course, we make DearBadgie cry a little.

Recurring cast: Orange Wolf, Blayz, Tiger Acolyte, BlackPaws, not Bluewolf (he was playing hookey), Stormdancer and BearX.

New awoos: Sen/ "Rainseeker"

Sneppurrsode 9 - Breaking Grrrround!

This one's a long one, folks! But chock full of a buncha good stuff, we purromise! (Blayz says you can fast forward through the book segment if you get bored, though! Haha!)

A brief statement from the WAW crew about the state of things, then we break into a new segment to discuss therian media cast members are enjoying. This leads into a serious Dear Badgie submission from ArcaneCanine (Anarcho-Mutt), which the whole crew chimes in on.

Blayz introduces a second new segment (the title of the snep wasn't a lie!) and we dig a bit deeper into therianthropy through time. We're setting the stage for future discussions and hope this will give some food for thought!

And, of course, on Dear Badgie, Stormy answers the impurrtant life questions.

~1 hour 10 minutes, so feel free to take this one in chunks.

Various members of the early community discuss the story(ies?) of the Cosmic 2x4(s?), offer insights to some of the crazy antics of the first Howls, and more!

Blayz introduces a new podcast segment and the badger follows up with life advice that necessitates a legal disclaimer from BearX.

Sneppurrsode 6: Were Still Here!

It's been a while but we Were are back!

This time, we give a proper intro to BearX and Blackpaws (who aren't actually wolves, maybe purrobably) and bring TigerAcolyte and Blayz (who might be wolves - they're kinda sus!) into the mix before discussing community purrojects, what we're thankful for, and howl we're holding up in the pandemic.
