I'm Definitely Not a Popufur

In another delightful After Hours episode, special guest and social media maven Rorschach runs through a gamut of questions from Punk & Sawd, ranging from the rabid Roller Coaster Tycoon modding community to why he hid all of the ambient albums to the specific thoughts he had on a New York local political candidate who inexplicably didn't love this particularly well-versed internet foxxo. In a IDN...

Less than 48 hours before this episode dropping, Las Vegas' recent furry convert, social media personality, fursuit maker, and all around fur-thusiast Rorschach went mega-viral with his video of speaking to Mormon missionaries outside his home while in full-suit. It speaks to the unique way in which Rorschach is able to connect with his audience, and he talks to Punk & Sawd about his journey into...

Where would you expect an After Hours episode with the incredible fursuiter Yippee Coyote to go? Why, to 1995's seminal animated classic A GOOFY MOVIE, of course. Well that and what a "Double Doo Dah" is, the cornerstones of our humor, and whether or not "Weird Al" Yankovic is down with the fuzzies. It's goofy, it's wild, and it's how we see each other eye-to-eye. Find Yippee Coyote on most all so...

On a very special episode of I'M DEFINITELY NOT A POPUFUR, Punk & Sawd sit down with one of the most acclaimed fursuiters in the history of the fandom: Yippee Coyote! Over the decades, Yippee has created numerous characters, inherited others, and taken his skills and stylings from California sports team mascots all the way to Burning Man. Having attended over 100 furcons (and counting!), Yippee de...

It's the most wonderful time of the year: the time we get to continue to yap with fursuiter, puppeteer, philanthropist, and all-around goof Kuddlepup even more. The chair of so many cons and long-running cast member of "The Funday Pawpet Show" reveals the real reason why the legendary 9/11 episode of "Pawpet" never made it to the archives, reflects on his legacy and those whom we've lost along the...

For anyone who's listened to previous episodes of I'M DEFINITELY NOT A POPUFUR, you know that "The Funday Pawpet Show" has come up quite a bit. The longest-running podcast in the world and an extensive document of the furry fandom, one of its longest-running cast members is Kuddlepup, often referred to as KP. Having voiced iconic characters like Ezra Shorts and Tod Ferret , KPs love of puppetry an...

In the latest After Hours episode, Sawd & Punk speak to kigurumi afficionado and mask maker Nicki Tens about the most important matters of our day: fancasting Punk into a Disney character suit, Punk describing the rudeness he experiences as an erstewhile photographer, Nicki's constant multiplayer gaming addictions, and so much more. It's a hoot, it's a holler, and it's always a good time with Nick...

Nicki Tens is many things: a classic game lover, a painter and artist, a kigurumi mask maker, and so much more. In her impactful episode with Sawd & Punk, she talks about everything in her furry journey: from the early Don Bluth films leaving an impact to a museum installation that led to the embrace of her trans identity. It's pinball machines and Amiga graphics cards, going viral as Jessica Rabb...

The latest After Hours edition of I'M DEFINITELY NOT A POPUFUR finds Sawd & Punk sitting down with venerated guest Sotalo (founder of the Virtual Furry Museum), to talk about a wide range of subjects, specifically starting with the Museum's recent removal from the VR Community Awards shortly before taping. It's a conversation that dives into multiple facets, ranging from what is considered controv...

The best part about the furry fandom is that anyone can join from any walk of life, but those who stick around get to know a bit about the history they're taking a part of. Few know the history of furry quite like Sawd & Punk's incredible guest this week: Sotalo! The founder of the Virtual Furry Museum, one of the most profound and significant VR worlds and connections to the furry fandom that has...

In our second delightful (and slightly intoxicated) After Hours experiment, Sawd & Punk speak with longtime furry, Anthrocon chair, and samurai cockroach Uncle Kage to dive into the issues that really matter: what the best Muppet is, the most innovative fursuits, and what actually goes into the white stuff of Oreos. It's a lark! Our guest Uncle Kage has no socials but Anthrocon information is avai...

When Punk & Sawd started this podcast, little did they realize the reach it would have. As they uncovered more and more stories of the fandom, they traced things back to its roots, and it's here that they crossed paths with the Storyteller himself, Uncle Kage. As a man who attended some of the earliest furry conventions, he would later go on to become the chairman of Anthrocon, one of the biggest...

Our #1 complaint from former guests of the pod is that they wish they could've talked even longer. With that in mind, Sawd & Punk are happy to debut "Popufur: After Hours", a new bonus episode to accompany every main ep where we have more unstructured, "shoot-the-shit" conversation with the guests. This week, Nova Llama freely joins in the discussions regarding furry media consumption, whether or...

The joke is always that "there needs to be more [insert species here] in the fandom," but we absolutely need more llamas, especially if they're as wonderous as Nova Llama. Initially starting out under the ironic moniker "Nova the Happiness Llama," Nova has since turned his furry creations into inspirational videos almost therapy-like livestreams, although nowadays he is seeking newer forms of joy...

The eternal question remains: goth, emo, or furry? As luck my have it, Sawd & Punk are joined this week by everyone's favorite fennec fox and variety VTuber: Nyavarr! A streamer, a comic wit, and a loving parent, we walk with Nyavarr as he takes us into his early days a Pokémon fan, explore the Brony-furry connection, dive into what it's like raising kids who are aware of your fursona, and eggs Pu...

Long requested by our fans, it was inevitable that America's favorite coffee-flavored coffeedog would eventually make his way onto the pod! Join Punk & Sawd as they sit down with the beloved streamer Coffeepawt, who talks about not only his time with the influential VR group the Shiba Squad, but also the power of THE NEVERENDING STORY, influential early furry artists like Dr. Comet, the raw sexual...

You know it's a good episode when you finish recording but you just keep on talking for another hour. This episode, Punk & Sawd welcome one of Punk's dearest friends onto the pod: Shade! As a gaming stream who grew up on IIRC and the Funday PawPet Show, he knows what it was like to make friends before the advent of Discord, the power of a great furcon, and how great it was to meet Punk over 15 yea...

We must've been bonked on the head 'cos there is no way this is happening! Joining the I'M DEFINITELY NOT A POPUFUR crew today is Dingoroo, the celebrated toon artist and VTuber. Sawd & Punk dive deep into the furry archives for this one, touching on "the Funday Pawpet Show", the evolution of fursuits, etiquette within fan interactions, all while mixing emotional tales (tails?) with the worst puns...

In the pilot episode of I'M DEFINITELY NOT A POPUFUR, Punk & Sawd welcome in Kaizen, a relatively new character who has already made quite the impact on the furry community. We discuss unexpected origins in the fandom, the importance and power of documenting one's own lore (even if you've never attempted writing before), dealing with haters, and so much more. Follow our guest Kaizen @ ninjawolfkai...
