'''KnotCast''' is a [[furry]]-themed sex questions and relationship advice [[podcast]]. New episodes are recorded on Thursdays, and are usually made available on the KnotCast website over the weekend.

Savrin's mate, Panther (aka, the tech-savvy at-risk youth), provides technical support.

The KnotCast theme is an excerpt from "5 Minutes" by [[Sublevel 03]] which was mixed by the band specially for the show.

==Notable events in Knotcast history==
*2008-07-25: The KnotCast studio (the apartment shared by Savrin, Panther, and their roommate) was vandalized and the podcasting equipment stolen. KnotCast was on a brief hiatus while the equipment was repurchased. Thanks to listener donations the podcast resumed on August 7th, 2008.
*2009-02-20: As of Furry Fiesta 2009, [[Damien]] decided to leave KnotCast to focus on school, work, and other projects.
*2009-03-05: KnotCast recorded the first episode of their second year and introduced the new theme song by Sub-level 03.
*2009-05-07: Cast agrees to make Istanbul a regular cast member.
*2010-06-18: KnotCast release their 100'th episode and celebrate this by having listeners and guests call in to congratulate the show on the achievement.
*2010: KnotCast are announced as [[Guests of Honor]] for [[Oklacon 2010]].
*2010-11-02: Istanbul is removed as a cast member.
*2010-11-13: [[Rekkie]] ([[Damien Husky]]) returns to the cast.

==Recurring Jokes==
* '''Bestiality podcast run by a bunch of drunken 12-year-old fratboys''' - A combined reference to several of Knotcast's one-star iTunes reviews.
* '''Bi now, gay later''' - see [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bi%20now%2C%20gay%20later urban dictionary definition]
* '''By and large, furries are bi and large''' - A reference to stereotypical descriptions of furry sexuality and body type
*'''Cat of hate''' - Savrin's [[cat]], which dislikes Damien.
*'''Dog people fucking''' - Synonym for furry pornography
*'''Don't do drugs, kids''' - a throw-away line used by Savrin when transitioning between thoughts.
*'''Don't do kids, drugs''' - Usualy used after the Don't do drugs, kids' line, this is reserved for moments where 'red badge' furs are mentioned.
*'''Don't stick your dick in crazy.''' - a warning to beware getting involved in relationships with people of questionable mental stability.
*'''Doorknobs''' - Originally made as a joke to suggest that the Tech-Savy-At-Risk-Panther would beat Savrin like a real abusive domestic relationship. The traditional reference being an abused wife covering up the origins of her black eye as "I fell into/on a doorknob." The scenarios in which Savrin would 'fall into' doorknobs became wildly unorthodox. Much to the amusement in the cast, this has eventually led to the doorknob becoming a symbol of punishment.
*'''Dragons''' - See [[Tumbles the Stairdragon]].
*'''Full of words''' - used to describe a verbose person or email.
*'''Good night... and big balls''' - Phrase used to end the podcast. The first clause may be said by any member of the podcast, but Zapnut always says the latter. The "Big Balls" are a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wipeout_%282008_U.S._game_show%29 Wipeout], which Fuzzwolf has previously noted is one of his favorite shows.
*'''Horrifyingly realistic dog cock red''' - a shade of the color red occasionally referenced in regard to commercial products (especially sex toys)
*'''Husky Rawr!''' - Damien has a tendency to go on at length and sometimes propose violence as a solution when he feels strongly about the situation being discussed.
*'''Michael Baaaaaay''' - Used to describe movies and other situations involving explosions
*'''(No such thing as a) Straight bunny''' - Certain castmembers believe that straight male bunnies do not exist.
*'''NYNGHHH NYNGHHH''' - Making fun of the crazier members of the fandom, whose actions have been compared to the mentally challenged (see [[dragon]]s).
*'''Panther's beard''' - The show's unofficial mascot
*'''Pro tip''' - helpful suggestions made by Savrin
*'''Relationship math''' - used to describe emails involving multiple partners or potential partners
*'''ROFLhusky''' - after Damien literally fell on the floor laughing during one episode, he earned this nickname.
*'''Roo Puns''' - Damien's [[species]] change from a [[husky]] [[fursona]] to a [[kangaroo]] generated a range of puns involving 'roo imagery. Mainly seen in Episode 26, which was just after his change, the puns came from his fellow podcasters and a few viewers. Damien has since become a husky again.
*'''Staircases''' - See [[Tumbles the Stairdragon]].
*'''Yaff yafff yaff''' - sarcastic description of fox chat

==Rules==
Early in KnotCast's development, a set of rules was put in place for what could (and could not) be said to avoid offending listeners. These rules are often broken (and it is announced so with a corresponding rule number), but rarely explained for the benefit of the listeners.

Rules that have been explained to date are:
* #1 - FuzzWolf must eat a meal before recording the podcast (For FuzzWolf is hypoglycemic and will get pissy if not full)
* #2 - Don't directly bring (fandom related) drama to the podcast
* #3 - No scat or watersports - [[Wikipedia:Scatman_(song)|Scatman]] DENIED
* #4 - No Holocaust jokes
* #5 - (not yet explained, but when one of the cast makes a semi-racist remark, another member says "Rule #5", possibly may be "no use of the N word")
* #7 or #8 - No pedophilia jokes
* #9 - all of Fuzzwolf's fanwank must be read by Damien.

Since Zapnut's departure, references to The Rules have nearly disappeared.

==Guests ("Token females")==
Guests on the show are known as token females. (Originally it was for the first guest, [[Jen Ferret]], but it has seen been used to refer to all guests, regardless of their actual gender.)

The following people have been guests/"token females" on the podcast:

* [[Andres Cyanni Halden]]
* [[Bucktown Tiger]]
* [[Carver]]
* [[Felysha]]
* [[Istanbul]]

* [[Keggalou]]
* [[Kyo Foxtrot]]
* [[Rikoshi]]
* [[Sairo Husky]]
* [[Spike Nico]]
* [[Tealfox]]
* [[Ten Husky]]
