The Tame Talk Show
The Tame Talk Show (also known as TTTS) was the first program devoted to "interviews" of furries worldwide, and the first of its kind in English, held on the Felin forum. It aired over 2003 and 2004, interviewing more than fifty furries from Brazil and other countries. The interviews took the form of textual role-plays, written as if part of a TV program (including a studio audience).[1]
"Presented" by Tame Wolf, who gave his name to the program, The Tame Talk Show was highlighted by irreverence, good humor, smart and keen questions, the original drawings illustrating the interviews - usually made by the interviewee himself - and a forum for readers to comment.
Prospective Brazilian interview participants signed up on a waiting list, which had grown to an over-three-month backlog by the time the program ended. International respondents were selected and invited to participate.
At the end of the program, with the closing of Felin, all the program material was held by Tame Wolf. His death in September 2004 left only a few illustrations, two interviews and the three year-end specials, which are in the power of program producer Hwei Chow.
