Unlike most fantasy leagues, the FBA does not follow any real world sports. Instead, the FBA has established its own sports teams, divisions, conferences and 80-game schedule, with the team rosters filled by characters created by participants in the league. Game results are calculated by using a proprietary simulation engine, with daily updates being posted on [[Fur Affinity]] and [[Twitter]]. The FBA borrows heavily from the National Basketball Association for inspiration, including Eastern and Western Conferences, an annual player draft, a 16-team playoffs bracket with best-of-7 series, and rules from the NBA including a 23 foot, 9 inch 3-point line. However the FBA has many of its own rules based on the wide variety of furry players in the league, including rules for tail-dribbling, tonguing the ball, and a one-flap rule for avian players.<br /> <br /> As of November of 2013, the FBA has begun its fifth season. While this is its fifth season as an active fantasy league for the fandom, the FBA Universe has developed a history that places the beginning of the league in 1961. Within the FBA storyline, the 2013-2014 season is the league's 52nd in existence.<br /> <br /> On March 13, 2011, the FBA was announced as a finalist in the '''Best Game''' category for the [[Ursa_Major_Awards|Ursa Major Awards]]. It eventually lost out to the Junction Point video game title ''Epic Mickey''. Despite efforts by the contributors, it has failed to earn enough votes for a nomination in any year since.<br /> <br /> ==History of the FBA==<br /> <br /> The FBA was started in 2009 by [[J. Mateo Baker|Buck Hopper]] as backstory for his [[Buck Hopper]] character. At the time, the FBA only existed as a footnote in the character's description on TapestriesMUCK, suggesting that Hopper's team, the Layleaux Thrust, was part of a larger league of furry basketball players. Originally, it was not intended to develop into anything more.<br /> <br /> Gradually, through role-plays on TapestriesMUCK and later through comments and questions posted to Hopper's account on Fur Affinity, details about the league developed. A handful of teams and other players were referenced in the character's backstory and in art pieces, suggesting at growing detail in the league. The FBA's growth took off on June 3rd, 2009, when the first of three ''Be-Hope'' articles were posted on Fur Affinity. The art pieces, made in the style of a sports magazine story, went into deep detail about Buck Hopper's character and his history with the league. Despite earning few looks or favorites, the art pieces inspired a swell of interest in the FBA by a handful of fans. That swell then inspired Baker to create the first seven episodes of The FBA Post Up Podcast, audio recordings produced in the style of a radio sportscast, to relate the story of Buck Hopper's team facing the Huntsville Mayors in the 2009 FBA Finals. Because the storyline was no longer being told from TapestriesMUCK, Baker decided to change the name of Hopper's team, replacing the Taps-only location of Layleaux with the name of the California county he grew up in, Stanislaus.<br /> <br /> After the seventh episode of the podcast, interest in the FBA continued to grow. This success inspired Baker to take another step forward and design an entire league. In the fall of 2009, he invited his watchers on Fur Affinity to come up with new teams for the league, eventually settling on 24 with 4 teams in each of 6 divisions. He then invited his watchers to come up with players to fill the rosters of each of the teams, organizing them in a Google Docs spreadsheet. Once the rosters were filled, remaining slots were set aside for a bundle of new players created for the 2009 FBA Draft. The first FBA draft was held on November 1, 2009, and filled the final slots in the FBA rosters, allowing for the beginning of the first season of the FBA.<br /> <br /> ===2009-2010 Season===<br /> <br /> The first real-world season of the FBA began on November 18th, 2009. As Buck Hopper's first effort in managing a fantasy basketball league, the season was marked by a very primitive system and a strong dependence on random die rolls to progress. However it also laid down the foundation that would shape the future of the league.<br /> <br /> ====The 80-Game Schedule====<br /> <br /> In documents describing the FBA prior to the creation of the openly playable league, references are made to an 82-game schedule similar to that used by the NBA. However, once Buck Hopper decided on a 24-team league divided into two conferences of three divisions each, he found that an 80-game schedule was much simpler mathematically. It was decided that each team would play all three of its divisional rivals eight times each season (four games away, four games at home) for a total of 24 games, all eight of its remaining conference rivals four times each season (two games away, two games at home) for a total of 32 games, and all 12 of the teams in the opposing conference twice (one game away, one game at home) for a total of 24 games, making a total of 80 games per team. This has remained the standard for the FBA schedule since.<br /> <br /> A schedule was not prepared before the beginning of the season, so the schedule was written out as the season progressed. This resulted in significant gaps between some games and no opportunity to look ahead to future games.<br /> <br /> ====Team Ratings====<br /> <br /> Even before any games were played, it had been determined that like in any professional sports league, some teams were stronger than others. To maintain a sense of different strength in teams, the clubs were given rankings from six (minimum strength for a pro club) to ten (best in the current league). This fed into the die-rolling system developed for determining winners, and became the starting point for rating the clubs for the first two seasons.<br /> <br /> ====Die Rolling====<br /> <br /> To determine the winner of each matchup, Buck Hopper developed a simple die rolling system. He would roll the number of dice given in each team's rating and select the six highest values rolled. In this instance, a team rated six would get the total of the entire roll while a team rated ten would get to throw out the four lowest die rolls. The home team was always given one extra die, and a team that had to play games on back-to-back nights would lose one die to indicate fatigue.<br /> <br /> The team with the higher die roll won. In the event of a tie, another die roll would indicate the winner in overtime. The die rolls did not provide specific scores, so scored were invented by Buck Hopper based on the results-- as in a low number would indicate a low score and a high number would indicate a high score. Only the final score was reported.<br /> <br /> This die-rolling system was demonstrated during episode #33 of the podcast [[Unsheathed]].<br /> <br /> ====Results====<br /> <br /> An entire season was completed using this system. It lacked any significant control over the teams by the GMs and provided only final scores for the games. While the system worked, GMs asked for more control over their teams and for more detail in the games, as in scores per quarter and individual box scores. These would become new goals for the following season.<br /> <br /> ===2010-2011 Season===<br /> <br /> After the success of the first full season of the FBA, Hopper was encouraged to hold another. He made it a priority to add more detail to the die rolling system, allowing the FBA contributors to help decide the quality of the teams as well as find a way to reward teams that promoted defense over offense. The result was a complex new die rolling system, along with many new features.<br /> <br /> Starting with this season, the FBA used computer software to determine the results of games. The first &quot;FBA Engine&quot; used [http://www.gandreas.com/iphone/dicenomicon/ Dicenomicon], an iOS app simulating rolled dice. A new die rolling system rolled exact scores quarter by quarter, allowing for overtime matches. The system still did not simulate box scores and had only minimal input from team general managers. Still, the GMs kept a brisk pace of trading throughout the season.<br /> <br /> ===2011-2012 Season===<br /> <br /> This was the first year that the FBA used custom software, with Buck Hopper writing a procedural application in Google Docs Spreadsheets for simulating games. The software produced a quarter-by-quarer score of the game and created values for individual player performance, but it was left to the FBA contributors to decide how the performances were reflected in box scores. Writers were encouraged to make up their own box scores based on the performance values.<br /> <br /> This custom engine allowed General Managers some control over their teams by changing rotations on a per-game basis. Players had individual stats that compared against the opposing players, allowing for some strategy by the GMs to choose who would start each game. Because player stats were public and the spreadsheet was made available to GMs for testing, managers with more time to play test their lineups against opponents were highly rewarded, to the point of skewing the competitiveness of the game. It was decided after this season that all future stats and engines would be hidden from the contributors.<br /> <br /> ===2012-2013 Season===<br /> <br /> For this year, the FBA used [http://shotsports.com Jump Shot Basketball], a Windows-based basketball simulator that allowed for custom rosters. The system became highly sophisticated with full ratings for each player and a robust management tool allowing GMs to choose their lineups and adjust the intensity of play for each player. A separate Head Coaching system was started putting the responsibility of team rotations in one contributors hands while team trading and contracts went to another. The Head Coaches then used a Google Docs Spreadsheet to submit their rotation changes and their instructions on player floor times and offensive or defensive focus.<br /> <br /> The software generated full box scores that were saved in PDF format. The PDFs were published on furrybasketball.com along with auto-generated CSV files derived from the PDF data. This allowed for significant detail on individual player performances. This was the first season that the FBA had a full set of real world-style basketball averages at the end of the year.<br /> <br /> Jump Shot Basketball provided a remarkable step up for the FBA, but it also had problems with some stats and wild scoring, with many games ending with 40+ point deficits. The FBA had planned on seeking a different solution for the coming season, a decision that was finalized when the developer of Jump Shot Basketball announced he would no longer support the software.<br /> <br /> ===Current Season===<br /> <br /> Starting on October 31st, 2013, the FBA has begun it's fifth season. This will be the last season before a planned season-long break in 2014, announced during the 2013 off-season.<br /> <br /> This season saw a massive shift in the design and layout of the FBA. Prior to this season, most announcements were made on FurAffinity. Starting with this season, the primary place for announcements was on furrybasketball.com using a new MediaWiki installation. This season saw a number of new rules instituted as well to combat the physical aspects of players that had been submitted in years prior. Starting with this season, taurs and herms were no longer allowed, players had to be under 7' 7&quot; and less than 351 pounds, and &quot;personal&quot; characters were banned. Later in the season, parenthetical species were also banned.<br /> <br /> A new software simulator was found and customized for the FBA. [http://basketball-gm.com Basketball-GM] is a Java-based basketball simulation game. The developer created a customized version of the software that could simulate individual games based on a custom roster. This new engine was the first to include an injury system that was also customized for furry-based injuries like sprained paws and muzzle bruises.<br /> <br /> A number of macros have been built to convert the CSV output of the new engine into WikiText. The data is loaded each game day into WikiFBA. Development is ongoing this season with new features being built into the website for easier navigation and more control over the teams, as well as easier writing by the contributors.<br /> <br /> ==The FBA Universe==<br /> <br /> ===Howlereen===<br /> <br /> Every FBA season begins with the Howlereen Invitational, the league's customary first pre-season match. Howlereen is always played on October 31st in Montana against an invited opponent, usually the defending league champions.<br /> <br /> The first Howlereen Invitational was played in 1968 in the inaugural year of the Montana Howlers. Being the first expansion team of the league, the introduction of the Howlers franchise unbalanced the conferences by putting 4 teams in the Western Conference with 3 teams in the Eastern Conference. As an effort by team management to ease tensions in the league over the unbalance, the Howlers held the league's first ever pre-season match on October 31st, 1968. The event was such a success, the Howlers held a pre-season match on Halloween every year, until it's become the FBA tradition it is today.<br /> <br /> ==FBA Details==<br /> <br /> ===Teams===<br /> The FBA currently has 24 teams. 22 from the United States and 2 from Canada. The teams are divided into 2 conferences of 3 divisions each with 4 teams in a division. In 2013, two teams in the Western Conference were relocated forcing a reorganization of the divisions. The Northwest, Southwest and Midwest Divisions were all shuttered in favor of a new &quot;time zone&quot; based division layout.<br /> <br /> ====Western Conference====<br /> =====Pacific Rim Division=====<br /> *Alaska Arctics<br /> *Hawaii Kahunas<br /> *San Jose Thrust<br /> *Santa Ana Spectrums<br /> <br /> =====Mountain Division=====<br /> *Edmonton Totems<br /> *Las Vegas Wildcards<br /> *Montana Howlers<br /> *Spokane Rapids<br /> <br /> =====Plains Division=====<br /> *Dakota Bikers<br /> *Santa Fe Whips<br /> *Texas Lone Stars<br /> *Winnipeg Voyageurs<br /> <br /> ====Eastern Conference====<br /> =====Northern Division=====<br /> *Albany Alphas<br /> *Bangor Tides<br /> *Newark Pride<br /> *Plymouth Taproots<br /> <br /> =====Central Division=====<br /> *Baltimore Spirits<br /> *Lorain Firestorm<br /> *Pittsburgh Keystones<br /> *Williamsburg Minutemen<br /> <br /> =====Southern Division=====<br /> *Biloxi Voodoo<br /> *Huntsville Mayors<br /> *Tallahassee Typhoons<br /> *Tennessee Moonshiners<br /> <br /> ====Historical Teams====<br /> * St. Paul Mayors (founded in 1961, became the Huntsville Mayors in 1984)<br /> * Hamilton Mariners (founded in 1920 as part of the Great Lakes Basketball League, joined the FBA in 1980, became the Albany Alphas in 1995)<br /> * Rocky Mountain House Royals (founded in 1974 as an amateur team, joined the FBA in 1980, became the Rocky Mountain Rabble in 2004)<br /> * Santa Cruz Clefs (founded in 1961, became the Kansas City Clefs in 2009)<br /> * Tucson Demons (founded in 1961, became the Galveston Sand Dollars in 2009)<br /> * Springfield Fusion (founded in 1995, became the Pittsburgh Keystones in 2010)<br /> * Rocky Mountain Rabble (Changed their name from the Rocky Mountain House Royals in 2004, became the Rocky Mountain Royals in 2010)<br /> * Rocky Mountain Royals (Sent to FBA D-League in 2011)<br /> * Idaho Mounties (founded in 2006, became the Las Vegas Wildcards in 2012)<br /> * Des Moines Blanks (founded in 1983, became the Edmonton Totems in 2012)<br /> * Stanislaus Thrust (founded in 1995, became the San Jose Thrust in 2012)<br /> * Galveston Sand Dollars (founded in 2009, became the Hawaii Kahunas in 2013)<br /> * Kansas City Clefs (founded in 2009, became the Texas Lone Stars in 2013)<br /> <br /> ===Champions===<br /> <br /> [[FBA Champions]]<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[FBA Courtside: LIVE!]]<br /> * [[The FBA Post Up Podcast]]<br /> * ''[[From the Alley to the Big City]]''<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> * [http://www.furrybasketball.com/ Furry Basketball Association]<br /> * [http://twitter.com/FurryBasketball FBA] on Twitter<br /> <br /> ===Mentionings in media===<br /> * [http://psamp.com/2010-articles/august/theres-a-pittsburgh-furry-basketball-team.html ''There's A Pittsburgh Furry Basketball Team''], PSAMP sports blog<br /> * [http://www.academia.edu/1497433/We_FBA_Now_Community_Building_and_the_Furry_Basketball_Association &quot;'We FBA Now': Community Building and the Furry Basketball Association&quot;] by Sam Ahearn, presented at the 2012 Ray Browne Conference on Popular Culture held at Bowling Green State University from March 30 to April 1.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Fictional organizations]]<br /> [[Category:Shared universes]]</div>

<p>Buck Hopper: Removed an extra &quot;=&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>{{cleanup}}<br /> [[File:FBA Logo 2.png | thumb | The current logo of the FBA.]]<br /> The '''Furry Basketball Association''' ('''FBA''') is a fantasy sports league run by the furry community. Unlike most fantasy leagues, the FBA does not follow any real world sports. Instead, the FBA has established its own sports teams, divisions, conferences and 80-game schedule, with the team rosters filled by characters created by participants in the league. Game results are calculated by using a proprietary simulation engine, with daily updates being posted on [[FurAffinity]] and [[Twitter]]. The FBA borrows heavily from the National Basketball Association for inspiration, including Eastern and Western Conferences, an annual player draft, a 16-team playoffs bracket with best-of-7 series, and rules from the NBA including a 23 foot, 9 inch 3-point line. However the FBA has many of its own rules based on the wide variety of furry players in the league, including rules for tail-dribbling, tonguing the ball, and a one-flap rule for avian players.<br /> <br /> As of December of 2011, the FBA has begun its third season. While this is its third season as an active fantasy league for the fandom, the FBA Universe has developed a history that places the beginning of the league in 1961. Within the FBA storyline, the 2011-2012 season is the league's 50th in existence.<br /> <br /> On March 13, 2011, the FBA was announced as a finalist in the '''Best Game''' category for the [[Ursa_Major_Awards|Ursa Major Awards]]. It eventually lost out to the Junction Point video game title ''Epic Mickey''.<br /> <br /> ==Beginnings of the FBA==<br /> <br /> The FBA was started in 2009 by [[J. Mateo Baker|Buck Hopper]] as backstory for his [[Buck Hopper]] character. At the time, the FBA only existed as a footnote in the character's description on TapestriesMUCK, suggesting that Hopper's team, the Layleaux Thrust, was part of a larger league of furry basketball players. Originally, it was not intended to develop into anything more.<br /> <br /> Gradually, through role-plays on TapestriesMUCK and later through comments and questions posted to Hopper's account on FurAffinity, details about the league developed. A handful of teams and other players were referenced in the character's backstory and in art pieces, suggesting at growing detail in the league. The FBA's growth took off on June 3rd, 2009, when the first of three ''Be-Hope'' articles were posted on FurAffinity. The art pieces, made in the style of a sports magazine story, went into deep detail about Buck Hopper's character and his history with the league. Despite earning few looks or favorites, the art pieces inspired a swell of interest in the FBA by a handful of fans. That swell then inspired Baker to create the first seven episodes of The FBA Post Up Podcast, audio recordings produced in the style of a radio sportscast, to relate the story of Buck Hopper's team facing the Huntsville Mayors in the 2009 FBA Finals. Because the storyline was no longer being told from TapestriesMUCK, Baker decided to change the name of Hopper's team, replacing the Taps-only location of Layleaux with the name of the California county he grew up in, Stanislaus.<br /> <br /> After the seventh episode of the podcast, interest in the FBA continued to grow. This success inspired Baker to take another step forward and design an entire league. In the fall of 2009, he invited his watchers on FurAffinity to come up with new teams for the league, eventually settling on 24 with 4 teams in each of 6 divisions. He then invited his watchers to come up with players to fill the rosters of each of the teams, organizing them in a Google Docs spreadsheet. Once the rosters were filled, remaining slots were set aside for a bundle of new players created for the 2009 FBA Draft. The first FBA draft was held on November 1, 2009, and filled the final slots in the FBA rosters, allowing for the beginning of the first season of the FBA.<br /> <br /> ===2009-2010 Season===<br /> <br /> The first real-world season of the FBA began on November 18th, 2009. As Buck Hopper's first effort in managing a fantasy basketball league, the season was marked by a very primitive system and a strong dependence on random die rolls to progress. However it also laid down the foundation that would shape the future of the league.<br /> <br /> ====The 80-Game Schedule====<br /> <br /> In documents describing the FBA prior to the creation of the openly playable league, references are made to an 82-game schedule similar to that used by the NBA. However, once Buck Hopper decided on a 24-team league divided into two conferences of three divisions each, he found that an 80-game schedule was much simpler mathematically. It was decided that each team would play all three of its divisional rivals eight times each season (four games away, four games at home) for a total of 24 games, all eight of its remaining conference rivals four times each season (two games away, two games at home) for a total of 32 games, and all 12 of the teams in the opposing conference twice (one game away, one game at home) for a total of 24 games, making a total of 80 games per team. This has remained the standard for the FBA schedule since.<br /> <br /> A schedule was not prepared before the beginning of the season, so the schedule was written out as the season progressed. This resulted in significant gaps between some games and no opportunity to look ahead to future games.<br /> <br /> ====Team Ratings====<br /> <br /> Even before any games were played, it had been determined that like in any professional sports league, some teams were stronger than others. To maintain a sense of different strength in teams, the clubs were given rankings from six (minimum strength for a pro club) to ten (best in the current league). This fed into the die-rolling system developed for determining winners, and became the starting point for rating the clubs for the first two seasons.<br /> <br /> ====Die Rolling====<br /> <br /> To determine the winner of each matchup, Buck Hopper developed a simple die rolling system. He would roll the number of dice given in each team's rating and select the six highest values rolled. In this instance, a team rated six would get the total of the entire roll while a team rated ten would get to throw out the four lowest die rolls. The home team was always given one extra die, and a team that had to play games on back-to-back nights would lose one die to indicate fatigue.<br /> <br /> The team with the higher die roll won. In the event of a tie, another die roll would indicate the winner in overtime. The die rolls did not provide specific scores, so scored were invented by Buck Hopper based on the results-- as in a low number would indicate a low score and a high number would indicate a high score. Only the final score was reported.<br /> <br /> This die-rolling system was demonstrated during episode #33 of the podcast [[Unsheathed]].<br /> <br /> ====Results====<br /> <br /> An entire season was completed using this system. It lacked any significant control over the teams by the GMs and provided only final scores for the games. While the system worked, GMs asked for more control over their teams and for more detail in the games, as in scores per quarter and individual box scores. These would become new goals for the following season.<br /> <br /> ===2010-2011 Season===<br /> <br /> ===2011-2012 Season===<br /> <br /> ==The FBA Universe==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Howlereen===<br /> <br /> Every FBA season begins with the Howlereen Invitational, the league's customary first pre-season match. Howlereen is always played on October 31st in Montana against an invited opponent, usually the defending league champions.<br /> <br /> The first Howlereen Invitational was played in 1968 in the inaugural year of the Montana Howlers. Being the first expansion team of the league, the introduction of the Howlers franchise unbalanced the conferences by putting 4 teams in the Western Conference with 3 teams in the Eastern Conference.

<p>Buck Hopper: Removed trivia, added Howlereen, fixed divisions and added new champion team</p> <hr /> <div>The '''Furry Basketball Association''' ('''FBA''') is a fictional/fantasy basketball league consisting of furry participants. It was initially organized by [[Buck Hopper]] in 2009, and it has developed a fictional history which dates the beginning of the league back to 1961 (although the earliest date mentioned on the website is 1920: the Hamilton Mariners' inaugural year).<br /> <br /> On March 13, 2011, the FBA was announced as a finalist in the '''Best Game''' category for the [[Ursa_Major_Awards|Ursa Major Awards]].<br /> <br /> ==Howlereen==<br /> <br /> Every FBA season begins with the Howlereen Invitational, the league's customary first pre-season match. Howlereen is always played on October 31st in Montana against an invited opponent, usually the defending league champions.<br /> <br /> The first Howlereen Invitational was played in 1968 in the inaugural year of the Montana Howlers. Being the first expansion team of the league, the introduction of the Howlers franchise unbalanced the conferences by putting 4 teams in the Western Conference with 3 teams in the Eastern Conference. As an effort by team management to ease tensions in the league over the unbalance, the Howlers held the league's first ever pre-season match on October 31st, 1968.

Buck Hopper //en.wikifur.com/wiki/List_of_episodes_of_The_FBA_Post_Up_Podcast 2011-04-03T07:07:04Z

<p>Buck Hopper: Added 2 episodes</p> <hr /> <div>The following is a list of episodes of [[The FBA Post Up Podcast]], presenting news from the [[Furry Basketball Association]].<br /> ==List of episodes==<br /> <br /> ===Episode #1: 2009 Finals Game 1===<br /> The first episode of the FBA Post Up Podcast was released on FurAffinity on June 17, 2009. The original intent of the podcast was as a story-telling device for the 2009 FBA Finals, which pitted Buck Hopper's team the Stanislaus Thrust against the Huntsville Mayors. The first podcast described the events of the first game of the series, ran only 3 and a half minutes, featured only T. Matt Latrans and had no music.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #2: 2009 Finals Game 2===<br /> The second episode was released on June 21, 2009, and was the first to use background music after furry musical artist [[Badd Will]] gave permission to B-Hop to use his song &quot;Teddy.&quot; The song has been used as the background theme for every episode ever since, and the first episode was re-edited to add the song.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #3: 2009 Finals Game 3===<br /> The third episode was released on June 26, 2009, and was the first episode to feature a cutaway. The simulated sound bite was recorded by [[JTigerclaw]] playing the character of squirrel small forward Zip-Nut.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #6: 2009 Finals Game 6===<br /> The sixth episode was released on July 31, 2009, and was the first episode to feature multiple cutaways. [[Roby_Panther|Roby]] played the voice of wolf power forward Jack Howell, and JTigerclaw played goat power forward Tyler Kiko.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #7: 2009 Finals Game 7===<br /> The seventh episode was released on August 17, 2009, and was the first episode to be recorded online. The recording of T. Matt's lines were done over [[Wikipedia:Ustream|UStream]] with an open invitation to FBA fans to watch and listen. Cutaways were still recorded off-line and e-mailed to Buck Hopper's studio.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #8: 2009 Pre-Draft Special===<br /> Even though the podcast was originally intended to cover only the 2009 FBA Finals, after the series had ended with 7 games, the podcast continued by covering the off-season. The eighth episode was released on September 27, 2009, and was the first to cover several FBA news stories instead of a game. This episode also introduced T.

Matt passed along an apology from his intern.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #9: 2009 Draft Top 24 #1-#8===<br /> The ninth episode was released on October 6, 2009, and was the first to feature live recorded cutaways.

Episodes are produced in the style of a sports segment from a radio news broadcast, complete with interviews, sound bites, and clips recorded from games. The podcast reports the news from the [[Furry Basketball Association]], a fantasy basketball league of anthropomorphic animals. Each episode is hosted by &quot;your coyote on the court&quot;, [[T. Matt Latrans]], who ends each recording with his signature signoff, &quot;I'm T. Matt, and that's a swish.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> The FBA Post Up Podcast is a fully scripted and edited audio podcast produced by [[Buck Hopper]]. Recording and editing is done entirely in [[Wikipedia:Protools|Pro Tools 9]].<br /> <br /> The podcast is unique in that it uses the voices of its listeners. Since the third episode, B-Hop has written the scripts to include &quot;cutaways&quot;, or opportunities for fans of the podcast to have their own voices appear in the episode. These are usually in the form of brief interviews and sound bites. The listeners portray athletes, coaches, team managers, owners, and other characters in the FBA Universe. The &quot;cutaways&quot; are usually recorded live during the podcast recording, which is broadcast over [[Wikipedia:Livestream|LiveStream]]. Listeners who want to contribute call in either with [[Wikipedia:Skype|Skype]], [[Wikipedia:iChat|iChat]] or cell phone to have their voices recorded. It is not uncommon for several actors to try playing the same role, leaving either B-Hop or the listeners to decide on the best performance. In this way, each episode features the voice talents of many members of the furry community, with new voice actors being featured in most every episode.<br /> <br /> The live podcast recording sessions are held irregularly on the weekends, depending on when B-Hop can find time to write a script and host a recording session. The podcast is released after up to a month of post-production.<br /> <br /> B-Hop uses an [http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/site/c35da94027e94819/index.html| Audio-Technica] [http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/9b6aac05c5aca887/index.html/| 4040] microphone plugged into a [http://www.dbxpro.com/386/index.php| dbx 386] digital preamp with a [http://www.dbxpro.com/1066/index.php| dbx 1066] compressor/limiter/expander as an insert. A [http://www.digidesign.com/| Digidesign] [http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?itemid=4893| Mbox2] records the audio into Pro Tools 8 for editing and processing. Episodes are released on [[FurAffinity]] and at the [[Wikipedia:iTunes_store| iTunes Store]].<br /> <br /> == History of the Podcast ==<br /> {{main|List of episodes of The FBA Post Up Podcast}}<br /> <br /> == Miscellaneous ==<br /> Every episode begins with T. Matt Latrans saying &quot;Yo from RoPo!&quot; The phrase is a call out to [[Wikipedia:Rohnert_Park,_Ca|Rohnert Park, California]], the city where [[J. Mateo Baker]], the creator of Buck Hopper, resides.<br /> <br /> Outtakes from the podcast recordings are released in the [http://www.furaffinity.net/scraps/buckhopper/| Scraps] section of Buck Hopper's FurAffinity page.<br /> <br /> Episode #24 is currently in the middle of production. The episode is being split into thirds because of its exceptional length, and when completed will be released with staged commercial breaks. Segments A and B have been released and post-production has begun on Segment C.<br /> <br /> Episode #25 was partially recorded during Buck Hopper's ''Voice Acting Workshop'' panel at [[FurFright_2010|FurFright 2010]]. This episode will cover post-draft news and Howlereen 2010. Additional roles will be recorded during an upcoming live recording to be scheduled.<br /> <br /> The podcast has created two spin-off series. The first is called '''FBA Sound Stories'''. Instead of emulating a sports news program, this series is produced like radio theater, with voices portraying characters inside the FBA universe. Three episodes have been released with a fourth currently in production. The second is called '''Beneath the Hide''' and is a furry take-off on PRI's [[Wikipedia:This_american_life|This American Life]], covering in-depth personal stories of characters in the FBA Universe. Clips from the series have been produced and edited into episodes #23 and #24A of The FBA Post Up Podcast. The first full-length episode is currently in production and will feature the FBA character Shane Rufus voiced by [[Rax]].<br /> <br /> == Noteable Voice/Character Combinations ==<br /> Because the primary goal of the podcast is to have fun, Buck Hopper encourages everyone to play any character they want. This has meant some characters have been voiced by different people. A handful of characters, however, have been set aside exclusively for specific voice actors.<br /> <br /> * T. Matt Latrans, voiced by [[Buck_Hopper|Buck Hopper]]<br /> * John Stoat, voiced by [[Alex_Vance|Alex F.

<p>Buck Hopper: Added a new episode, made some tweaks to links</p> <hr /> <div>The following is a list of episodes of [[The FBA Post Up Podcast]], presenting news from the [[Furry Basketball Association]].<br /> ==List of episodes==<br /> <br /> ===Episode #1: 2009 Finals Game 1===<br /> The first episode of the FBA Post Up Podcast was released on FurAffinity on June 17, 2009. The original intent of the podcast was as a story-telling device for the 2009 FBA Finals, which pitted Buck Hopper's team the Stanislaus Thrust against the Huntsville Mayors. The first podcast described the events of the first game of the series, ran only 3 and a half minutes, featured only T. Matt Latrans and had no music.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #2: 2009 Finals Game 2===<br /> The second episode was released on June 21, 2009, and was the first to use background music after furry musical artist [[Badd Will]] gave permission to B-Hop to use his song &quot;Teddy.&quot; The song has been used as the background theme for every episode ever since, and the first episode was re-edited to add the song.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #3: 2009 Finals Game 3===<br /> The third episode was released on June 26, 2009, and was the first episode to feature a cutaway.

Cutaways were still recorded off-line and e-mailed to Buck Hopper's studio.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #8: 2009 Pre-Draft Special===<br /> Even though the podcast was originally intended to cover only the 2009 FBA Finals, after the series had ended with 7 games, the podcast continued by covering the off-season. The eighth episode was released on September 27, 2009, and was the first to cover several FBA news stories instead of a game.<br /> <br /> ===Episode #9: 2009 Draft Top 24 #1-#8===<br /> The ninth episode was released on October 6, 2009, and was the first to feature live recorded cutaways.

The podcast reports the news from the [[Furry Basketball Association]], a fantasy basketball league of anthropomorphic animals. Each episode is hosted by &quot;your coyote on the court&quot;, [[T. Matt Latrans]], who ends each recording with his trademark signoff, &quot;I'm T. Matt, and that's a swish.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> The FBA Post Up Podcast is a fully scripted and edited audio podcast produced by [[Buck Hopper]]. Recording and editing is done entirely in [[Wikipedia:Protools|Pro Tools 8]].<br /> <br /> The podcast is unique in that it uses the voices of its listeners. Since the third episode, B-Hop has written the scripts to include &quot;cutaways&quot;, or opportunities for fans of the podcast to have their own voices appear in the episode. These are usually in the form of brief interviews and sound bites. The listeners portray athletes, coaches, team managers, owners, and other characters in the FBA Universe. The &quot;cutaways&quot; are usually recorded live during the podcast recording, which is broadcast over [[Wikipedia:Livestream|LiveStream]]. Listeners who want to contribute call in either with [[Wikipedia:Skype|Skype]], [[Wikipedia:iChat|iChat]] or cell phone to have their voices recorded. It is not uncommon for several actors to try playing the same role, leaving either B-Hop or the listeners to decide on the best performance. In this way, each episode features the voice talents of many members of the furry community, with new voice actors being featured in most every episode.<br /> <br /> The live podcast recording sessions are held irregularly on the weekends, depending on when B-Hop can find time to write a script and host a recording session. The podcast is released after up to a month of post-production.<br /> <br /> B-Hop uses an [http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/site/c35da94027e94819/index.html| Audio-Technica] [http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/9b6aac05c5aca887/index.html/| 4040] microphone plugged into a Mackie [http://www.mackie.com/products/400f/ 400F] digital preamp with a dbx [http://www.dbxpro.com/1066/index.php| 1066] compressor/limiter/expander as an insert.

Matt Latrans saying &quot;Yo from RoPo!&quot; The phrase is a call out to [[Wikipedia:Rohnert_Park,_Ca|Rohnert Park, California]], the city where [[J.

The episode will be split into thirds, with the first two thirds having been recorded already in September. The final third will be recorded on a future day, yet to be scheduled.<br /> <br /> The podcast has created a spin-off series called '''FBA Sound Stories'''. Instead of emulating a sports news program, this series is produced like radio theater, with voices portraying characters inside the FBA universe.

Buck Hopper //en.wikifur.com/wiki/Furrywood 2010-07-31T16:20:44Z

<p>Buck Hopper: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Furrywood''' is a location on [[FurryMUCK]], modeled after a [[Wikipedia:Hollywood|Hollywood]] movie studio. It was created in the summer of 1996 by [[Carrizo Kitfox]], who is the owner and manager of the studio. He also directed nearly all the scenes shot at the studio.<br /> <br /> Furrywood was created by [[Buck Hopper| J. Mateo Baker]], the player of Carrizo, who at the time of Furrywood's creation was a graduate student at the [[Wikipedia:University of Southern California|University of Southern California]] [[Wikipedia:USC School of Cinema-Television|School of Cinematic Arts]] in [[Wikipedia:Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles, California]]. Originally intended as a private residence for Carrizo, Furrywood blossomed into a center of [[roleplaying]] at FurryMUCK. Between 1996 and 1998, dozens of scenes were 'shot', with characters playing roles in preplanned, loosely-given 'scripts' and their actions being recorded and replayed using [[Squirrelly|Squirrelly's]] [[movie.muf]] program. In 1997 and 1998, [[Wikipedia:Academy Awards|&quot;Oscars&quot;]] were awarded to the best performers in the previous year, being handed out the same evening as the real Hollywood Oscars.<br /> <br /> Since J. Mateo's graduation from USC in 1998, Furrywood has faded in use. Today, the descriptions of its facilities are badly outdated and only one or two scenes are shot a year.<br /> <br /> == Furrywood: The Golden Years ==<br /> <br /> Between the summers of 1996 and 1998, Furrywood had a remarkable run as one of the more popular sites on FurryMUCK. It occasionally boasted more visitors than the [[West Corner of The Park (location)|West Corner of The Park]]. Some saw it as one of the best places on FurryMUCK for non-sexual roleplay. During this time, Furrywood attracted many actors, with visitors volunteering to play roles in scenes. Some only did one scene, but others returned many times, playing different roles in different scenes.<br /> <br /> Some of Furrywood's first actors were [[Oswald]], [[Patch O' Black]], [[Manilow]], [[Cainam]], [[Fealous]], [[Mistoffelees]], [[Diskmaster]], [[Thumpy]], [[Shades McKatt]], [[Melonny]], [[Mahogany]], [[Syrin]], [[Sian]], and [[Squal]]. Later on, new talent arrived with actors like [[Ronnie]], [[Lanya]], [[Champagne]], [[Genevive Fox|Genevive]], [[Olivia]], [[DarkKitten]], [[RocRolDis]], [[Babs]], [[Setsu.Mi.Sen]], [[Rayjack]], [[CanCoon]], and [[Tyrannix]]. Since the Golden Years, Furrywood has found some even newer talent with [[Belize]], [[Vrkur]], [[Yule]], [[Greycloak]], and [[FoxPaws]]. Many more actors have performed at Furrywood, and some have even assisted in shooting without appearing on camera, like [[Artemus]] and [[Larna]].<br /> <br /> == The Crew of Stage 1 ==<br /> Furrywood has two stages, with Stage 1 being Carrizo's favorite, and Stage 2 built for other directors to try shooting scenes. <br /> <br /> Each stage has a 'crew' of spoofed characters designed by J. Mateo Baker, featuring some unique and interesting personalities. Particularly on Stage 1, where nearly all shooting was done, the crew was based on real crew members J. Mateo worked with while studying at USC.<br /> <br /> :'''Arri''', a male morphic wolf, is the [[Wikipedia:Cinematographer|cinematographer]]. He enjoyed flirting with actresses and often made passes at some of Furrywood's most famous leading ladies. His name is based on [[Wikipedia:Arriflex|Arriflex]], a company that builds professional film cameras.<br /> :'''Nagra''', a male kangaroo morph, is the [[Wikipedia:Production sound mixer|production mixer]]. He is a constant sourpuss, always grumbling and feeling unappreciated. At the time, J. Mateo was considering a career as a Hollywood production mixer. His name was based on the [[Wikipedia:Nagra|Nagra]], a device that had been used for on-set audio recording. His species was based on the kangaroo logo featured on the carry case for the Nagra J. Mateo used on his own movies.<br /> :'''Senn''', a male maned wolf morph, is the [[Wikipedia:Boom operator (media)|boom operator]]. He is usually very quiet and reserved. As a maned wolf, his long arms are perfect for keeping the microphone out of the shot. His name is based on the [[Wikipedia:Sennheiser|Sennheiser]] 416T, the microphone J. Mateo was using at the time for on-set audio recording.<br /> :'''Janny''', a female zebra morph, is the [[Wikipedia:Assistant director|assistant director]]. She has a very loud voice and yells often. She is based on an assistant director J. Mateo was working with at the time.<br /> :'''Urtha''', a female hippo morph, is the makeup artist. She is very bouncy and constantly cheerful. She was based on a character in the movie [[Cats Don't Dance]].<br /> :'''Squib''', a male squirrel morph, is the [[Wikipedia:Visual effects|visual effects ]] designer. He is very twitchy and can only speak in movie quotes. He is named after the [[Wikipedia:Squib (explosive)|device used in movies]] to make fake blood squirt from a simulated bullet wound.<br /> :'''Merriweather''', a male weasel morph, is the [[Wikipedia:Costume design|costume designer]]. He is openly gay and extremely flamboyant.<br /> <br /> The crew of Stage 1 has remained the same since the beginning of Furrywood, with the exception of one character being added in 1998:<br /> <br /> :'''Ellis''', a female fox morph, is the [[Wikipedia:Property master|prop vixen]]. Her name is based on the company ''Ellis Mercantile'', a prop shop in [[Wikipedia:Hollywood, California|Hollywood, California]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:FurryMUCK locations]][[Category:1996 births]]</div>

Since the third episode, B-Hop has written the scripts to include &quot;cutaways&quot;, or opportunities for fans of the podcast to have their own voices appear in the episode.

Episodes are produced in the style of a sports segment from a radio news broadcast, complete with interviews, sound bites, and clips recorded from games. The podcast reports the news from the [[Furry Basketball Association]], a fantasy basketball league of anthropomorphic animals. Each episode is hosted by &quot;your coyote on the court&quot;, [[T. Matt Latrans]], who ends each recording with his trademark signoff, &quot;I'm T. Matt, and that's a swish.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> The FBA Post Up Podcast is a fully scripted and edited audio podcast produced by [[Buck Hopper]]. Recording and editing is done entirely in [[Wikipedia:Protools|Pro Tools 8]].<br /> <br /> The podcast is unique in that it uses the voices of its listeners. Since the third episode, B-Hop has written the scripts to include &quot;cutaways&quot;, or opportunities for fans of the podcast to have their own voices appear in the episode. These are usually in the form of brief interviews and sound bites. The listeners portray athletes, coaches, team managers, owners, and other characters in the FBA Universe. The &quot;cutaways&quot; are usually recorded live during the podcast recording, which is broadcast over [[Wikipedia:Livestream|LiveStream]]. Listeners who want to contribute call in either with [[Wikipedia:Skype|Skype]], [[Wikipedia:iChat|iChat]] or cell phone to have their voices recorded. It is not uncommon for several actors to try playing the same role, leaving either B-Hop or the listeners to decide on the best performance. In this way, each episode features the voice talents of many members of the furry community, with new voice actors being featured in most every episode.<br /> <br /> The live podcast recording sessions are held irregularly on the weekends, depending on when B-Hop can find time to write a script and host a recording session.

The original intent of the podcast was as a story-telling device for the 2009 FBA Finals, which pitted Buck Hopper's team the Stanislaus Thrust against the Huntsville Mayors. The first podcast described the events of the first game of the series, ran only 3 and a half minutes, featured only T. Matt Latrans and had no music.<br /> <br /> The second episode was released on June 21, 2009, and was the first to use background music after furry musical artist [[Badd Will]] gave permission to B-Hop to use his song &quot;Teddy.&quot; The song has been used as the background theme for every episode ever since, and the first episode was re-edited to add the song.<br /> <br /> The third episode was released on June 26, 2009, and was the first episode to feature a cutaway. The simulated sound bite was recorded by [[JTigerclaw]] playing the character of squirrel small forward Zip-Nut.<br /> <br /> The sixth episode was released on July 31, 2009, and was the first episode to feature multiple cutaways. [[Roby_Panther|Roby Panther]] played the voice of wolf power forward Jack Howell, and JTigerclaw played goat power forward Tyler Kiko.<br /> <br /> The seventh episode was released on August 17, 2009, and was the first episode to be recorded online. The recording of T. Matt's lines were done over [[Wikipedia:Ustream|UStream]] with an open invitation to FBA fans to watch and listen. Cutaways were still recorded off-line and e-mailed to Buck Hopper's studio.<br /> <br /> Even though the podcast was originally intended to cover only the 2009 FBA Finals, after the series had ended with 7 games, the podcast continued by covering the off-season. The eighth episode was released on September 27, 2009, and was the first to cover several FBA news stories instead of a game.<br /> <br /> The ninth episode was released on October 6th, 2009, and was the first to feature live recorded cutaways. Attendees to the UStream recording were invited to call in either over Skype or by cell phone and give their performances live while being recorded by B-Hop.<br /> <br /> The eleventh episode was released on October 24, 2009, and has the record for the most voices featured of any episode. [[Babs_Bunny|Lilifox]], [[Orbital_S]], [[Balto_(artist)|Balto]], [[Sylffor]], [[Jericho]], [[Paul_Shepherd|PaulShep]], [[Mr. Initial Man]], [[Jerry Husky]] and [[Farallon]] all contributed voice work to this episode.<br /> <br /> The 18th and most recent episode was released on January 11, 2010. A 19th episode was recorded live on January 31st, 2010, and is currently in post-production.<br /> <br /> == Miscellaneous ==<br /> Every episode begins with T. Matt Latrans saying &quot;Yo from RoPo!&quot; The phrase is a call out to [[Wikipedia:Rohnert_Park,_Ca|Rohnert Park, California]], the city where [[J.

Episodes are produced in the style of a sports segment from a radio news broadcast, complete with interviews, sound bites, and clips recorded from games. The podcast reports the news from the [[Furry Basketball Association]], a fantasy basketball league of anthropomorphic animals. Each episode is hosted by &quot;your coyote on the court&quot;, [[T. Matt Latrans]], who ends each recording with his trademark signoff, &quot;I'm T. Matt, and that's a swish.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> The FBA Post Up Podcast is a fully scripted and edited audio podcast produced by [[Buck Hopper]]. Recording and editing is done entirely in [[Wikipedia:Protools|Pro Tools 8]].<br /> <br /> The podcast is unique in that it uses the voices of its listeners. Since the third episode, B-Hop has written the scripts to include &quot;cutaways&quot;, or opportunities for fans of the podcast to have their own voices appear in the episode. These are usually in the form of brief interviews and sound bites. The listeners portray athletes, coaches, team managers, owners, and other characters in the FBA Universe. The &quot;cutaways&quot; are usually recorded live during the podcast recording, which is broadcast over LiveStream. Listeners who want to contribute call in either with [[Wikipedia:Skype|Skype]], [[Wikipedia:iChat|iChat]] or cell phone to have their voices recorded. It is not uncommon for several actors to try playing the same role, leaving either B-Hop or the listeners to decide on the best performance. In this way, each episode features the voice talents of many members of the furry community, with new voice actors being featured in most every episode.<br /> <br /> The live podcast recording sessions are held irregularly on the weekends, depending on when B-Hop can find time to write a script and host a recording session.

The original intent of the podcast was as a story-telling device for the 2009 FBA Finals, which pitted Buck Hopper's team the Stanislaus Thrust against the Huntsville Mayors. The first podcast described the events of the first game of the series, ran only 3 and a half minutes, featured only T. Matt Latrans and had no music.<br /> <br /> The second episode was released on June 21, 2009, and was the first to use background music after furry musical artist [[Badd Will]] gave permission to B-Hop to use his song &quot;Teddy.&quot; The song has been used as the background theme for every episode ever since, and the first episode was re-edited to add the song.<br /> <br /> The third episode was released on June 26, 2009, and was the first episode to feature a cutaway. The simulated sound bite was recorded by [[JTigerclaw]] playing the character of squirrel small forward Zip-Nut.<br /> <br /> The sixth episode was released on July 31, 2009, and was the first episode to feature multiple cutaways. [[Roby_Panther|Roby Panther]] played the voice of wolf power forward Jack Howell, and JTigerclaw played goat power forward Tyler Kiko.<br /> <br /> The seventh episode was released on August 17, 2009, and was the first episode to be recorded online. The recording of T. Matt's lines were done over [[Wikipedia:Ustream|UStream]] with an open invitation to FBA fans to watch and listen. Cutaways were still recorded off-line and e-mailed to Buck Hopper's studio.<br /> <br /> Even though the podcast was originally intended only to cover the 2009 FBA Finals, after the series had ended with 7 games, the podcast continued by covering the off-season. The eighth episode was released on September 27, 2009, and was the first to cover several FBA news stories instead of a game.<br /> <br /> The ninth episode was released on October 6th, 2009, and was the first to feature live recorded cutaways. Attendees to the UStream recording were invited to call in either over Skype or by cell phone and give their performances live while being recorded by B-Hop.<br /> <br /> The eleventh episode was released on October 24, 2009, and has the record for the most voices featured of any episode. [[Babs_Bunny|Lilifox]], [[Orbital_S]], [[Balto_(artist)|Balto]], [[Sylffor]], [[Jericho]], [[Paul_Shepherd|PaulShep]], [[Mr. Initial Man]], [[Jerry Husky]] and [[Farallon]] all contributed voice work to this episode.<br /> <br /> The 18th and most recent episode was released on January 11, 2010.

The original intent of the podcast was as a story-telling device for the 2009 FBA Finals, which pitted Buck Hopper's team the Stanislaus Thrust against the Huntsville Mayors. The first podcast described the events of the first game of the series, ran only 3 and a half minutes, featured only T. Matt Latrans and had no music.<br /> <br /> The second episode was released on June 21, 2009, and was the first to use background music after furry musical artist [[Badd Will]] gave permission to B-Hop to use his song &quot;Teddy.&quot; The song has been used as the background theme for every episode ever since, and the first episode was re-edited to add the song.<br /> <br /> The third episode was released on June 26, 2009, and was the first episode to feature a cutaway. The simulated sound bite was recorded by [[JTigerclaw]] playing the character of squirrel small forward Zip-Nut.<br /> <br /> The sixth episode was released on July 31, 2009, and was the first episode to feature multiple cutaways. [[Roby_Panther|Roby Panther]] played the voice of wolf power forward Jack Howell, and JTigerclaw played goat power forward Tyler Kiko.<br /> <br /> The seventh episode was released on August 17, 2009, and was the first episode to be recorded online. The recording of T. Matt's lines were done over [[Wikipedia:Ustream|UStream]] with an open invitation to FBA fans to watch and listen. Cutaways were still recorded off-line and e-mailed to Buck Hopper's studio.<br /> <br /> Even though the podcast was originally intended only to cover the 2009 FBA Finals, after the series had ended with 7 games, the podcast continued by covering the off-season. The eighth episode was released on September 27, 2009, and was the first to cover several FBA news stories instead of a game.<br /> <br /> The ninth episode was released on October 6th, 2009, and was the first to feature live recorded cutaways. Attendees to the UStream recording were invited to call in either over Skype or by cell phone and give their performances live while being recorded by B-Hop.<br /> <br /> The eleventh episode was released on October 24, 2009, and has the record for the most voices featured of any episode. [[Babs_Bunny|Lilifox]], [[Orbital_S]], [[Balto_(artist)|Balto]], [[Sylffor]], [[Jericho]], [[Paul_Shepherd|PaulShep]], [[Mr. Initial Man]], [[Jerry Husky]] and [[Farallon]] all contributed voice work to this episode.<br /> <br /> The 18th and most recent episode was released on January 11, 2010. A 19th episode was recorded live on January 31st, 2010, and is currently in post-production.<br /> <br /> == Miscellaneous ==<br /> Every episode begins with T. Matt Latrans saying &quot;Yo from RoPo!&quot; The phrase is a call out to [[Wikipedia:Rohnert_Park,_Ca|Rohnert Park, California]], the city where [[J. Mateo Baker]], the creator of Buck Hopper, resides.<br /> <br /> Outtakes from the podcast recordings are released in the Scraps section of Buck Hopper's FurAffinity page.<br /> <br /> The podcast will break new ground at [[Furry_Fiesta_2010|Furry Fiesta 2010]] when the cutaways for an upcoming episode will be recorded live at the con during Buck Hopper's panel &quot;Voice Acting Workshop&quot;.<br /> <br /> {{Template:Podcasts}}<br /> [[Category:Podcasts]]<br /> [[Category:2009 births]]</div>
