FurCast

FurCast was a series of furry themed talk shows by XBN.

The show was hosted and produced by Paradox (XBN Director/Producer), and Fayroe (FurCast Co-director).

It ran as live syndicated radio and as a free to download archived podcast. XBN also hosts the radio show Friday Night Tracks in the same studio.

Distribution
The show broadcasted primarily using their own proprietary video and audio streaming network, but often syndicated to other streaming services such as YouTube Live and Periscope.
