'''General Furry Pawdcast''' ('''GFP''') is a [[furry]]-oriented comedy [[wikipedia:Podcast|podcast]], produced and hosted by [[Reverb Husky]] and [[Sasha Talas]], formerly [[M. K. Blacke]].{{Clarify}}

== Content ==
Episodes of GFP discuss topics such as news articles, movie reviews, and [[convention report]]s.<ref>[https://soundcloud.com/gfppodcast GFP Podcast] on SoundCloud. Retrieved January 31, 2018.</ref>

== History ==
In 2015, Sasha Talas and [[Lavaliscous]] hosted a non-furry [[Video games|gaming]] podcast, '''General Jargon Podcast''' until the latter left in early 2017 due to personal issues as well as the increasingly furry nature of the podcast, such as topics, references, and terminology. Lavaliscous briefly reappeared in episode 11, then permanently signed off the podcast to persue his own interests.

During [[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2017]], Reverb Husky and [[Shedon Vonsonet]] joined the cast. Sasha and Reverb host the original podcast, while Shedon works on separate content intended to feature on a network for the podcast.

== Conventions ==
The cast of General Furry Pawdcast hosted a [[panel]] at [[Emerald Fur Con]] in 2017.
