'''FürMedia''' is a [[furry]] [[W:Social media|social media service]]. Its mission is "To provide another voice & social connection with [[furries]] from around the world."

== History ==

To further this concept, FürMedia, initially known as '''FurMedia''' and created by [[SpaceDog Spiff]] in December 6, 2011, attended [[FurIdaho|FurIdaho 2012]], a small new [[furry convention]], providing [[W:Webcast|webcast]] coverage of the event through their social media channels.{{fact}}

Representatives from the site created their own FurMedia staff badges and solicited artists in the convention's [[Artist Alley]] to use FurMedia to feature their artwork. In order to keep track of the information and contacts received, the group appointed [[Midnite Mountainwulf]]'s wife, [[Mystic Stargazer]], as secretary for FurMedia.

To accomplish this goal, accounts were created on [[Fur Affinity]], [[deviantART]], [[YouTube]], [[Twitter]], [[Facebook]], and [[Livestream]]. Livestream became the primary dissemination tool for FurMedia because it offered the opportunity to create tutorials and live sessions for furries to interact with.

== Staff ==

To manage FurMedia's workload, SpaceBear Sparx appointed several administrators for the site. [[Leon McBane]] was the first person to join the team

* '''SpaceBear Sparx''' - Founder (as SpaceDog Spiff) and host
* [[Poonya Wah]] - Host and social media
* Seneca - Social media and science department
* [[Zero]] - Social Media and blog [[artist]]

=== Former staff ===

* '''Leon McBane''' - [[Writer]]
* '''Midnite Mountainwulf''' - Graphic artist
* [[Tusoul]] - Graphic artist
* '''Mystic Stargazer''' - Administrative assistant
* [[Ra'Zim]] - Webmaster

[[File:LPESFront Page.png|thumb|right|Little Paws Elementary School]]
'''Little Paws Elementary School''', also known as '''LPES''', is a role play environment where individuals with a [[cub]] character can get together, interact, and participate in a simulated world that is as much like real school as textual based interaction allows [http://www.littlepawselementaryschool.com].

The site was created in 2013 by [[Lem Ahnayd]] as an attempt to create one of the most structured furry role playing environments online, and to provide a social community to [[cubs]] of all ages despite its rather high population of [[babyfurs]]. It is led by [[Lem Ahnayd]] and [[Yami Shima]].

== History ==

Despite its short history thus far, Little Paws Elementary School has already underwent three major redesigns [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5151938/] [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5157928/] [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5285057/], which at present is almost entirely PHP based. They moved to a VPS on November 20th due to higher than expected user traffic [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5276358/]. There have been some rather fast implementations of new features, including the ability for characters to register and roll their academic stats [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5285057/], and a Classroom Matrix to replace the former forum [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5327623/].

== Features and rules ==

Little Paws Elementary offers an IRC channel known as "The Spot", a hybrid forum/journal system with build in notifications known as the "Classroom Matrix", and utilizes various forms of contact including Skype groups to promote socialization and role play amongst it members.

The website is a G-rated environment and does not allow bullying, pornography, graphic language or graphic role play of any sort on any public area of the website [http://www.littlepawselementaryschool.com/pages/thespotinfo]. They also emphasize the importance of consent in all interactions [http://www.littlepawselementaryschool.com/pages/rules]. Little Paws Elementary School complies with COPPA standards by requiring all registrants be at least 13 years of age according to their Terms and Conditions [http://www.littlepawselementaryschool.com/pages/terms].

== Mascots ==
[[File:FinnTusks.png|thumb|right|Principal Finn Tusks, drawn by [[Scribble-Scrabble]]]]
[[Finn Tusks]] is the unofficial [[mascot]] of LPES. The site owner [[Lem Ahnayd]] exercises his role as principal through the character. His species choice was inspired by the infamous "mustaches" that walruses have, and the air of dignify that having one would typically provide. Teddy the hippo is also an unofficial [[mascot]] of Little Paws and is featured on the "The Rules" [http://www.littlepawselementaryschool.com/pages/rules] and "Our System" [http://www.littlepawselementaryschool.com/pages/system] pages. By clicking on the character, an mp3 reads the rather lengthy content of each pager to the listener. There are plans to hold a school mascot contest in the coming semester to select an official mascot.

== Organization ==

Little Paws Elementary School is a sole proprietorship in the State of Oregon owned and run by '''Little Paws Elementary School CO.'''

== Statistics ==

* Nursery School, a grade entirely for [[babyfurs]] comprises nearly 34% of the school and has remained the largest grade throughout Little Paws Elementary School's existence.
* The largest source of social website conversions is [[Fur Affinity]], followed by social website [[Babyfur.ME]].
* Little Paws registered its 200th student on 26 December, 2013.
* Little Paws averages about four student registrations per day.

'''The Thursday Night Hard Drive''' is an alternative music show hosted by [[Miyabi]] and [[Kittiah]]. The show aims to expose its listeners to a selection of new and potentially undiscovered music interspersed with light-hearted banter and discussion. The show occasionally has guests in the studio where they operate a '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Island_Discs Desert Island Discs]' style format.

The show is live every Thursday night from 8pm until midnight and has a popular IRC channel on [[FurNet (IRC)|Furnet]], #harddrive.

The show also broadcasts live on Second Life's [[GYC]] with hosts Kittiah and Miyabi present.

==History==
The show and its theme were thought up a few days before the first broadcast; [[Miyabi]] having cited a desire to return to producing radio to [[Kittiah]], who provided ideas and encouragement to get the show off the ground.

'''The Hard Drive''' first broadcast on the 28th February, 2008<ref>[http://harddrive.fm Thursday Night Hard Drive], the show's website. Retrieved March 20th, 2008.</ref>.

As of show 15, The Hard Drive began broadcasting a live video stream simultaneously with the broadcast of the shoutcast audio stream. The video is broadcast using the Mogulus network. From show 16, the shows are also archived for on demand play via the Harddrive Livestream player<ref>[http://harddrive.fm/hdtv Thursday Night Hard Drive Live TV], the show's website. Retrieved June 15th, 2008.</ref>.

==Format==
All episodes of the show begin with a 5 minute long musical countdown segment. It is frequently changed and themed with various film, television and popular culture references.

The show began life in a 3 hour format but after several weeks of running over due to popular demand, the broadcast hours were extended to the current 8pm till Midnight slot.

While the show does not take direct song requests, there is an infrequently recurring 'Incoming' segment where the best listener-supplied music gets played.

==Production==
Since the initial broadcast there have been significant improvements to the production quality. Notable improvements include a MIDI control surface for queuing/playing tracks, the addition of compression and noisegating to the microphones and a redesigned website with chatbox functionality. Most recently the show has begun live video streaming with 128kbps audio.

The show is also available for later download as a podcast either direct from the website<ref>[http://harddrive.fm/shows Show History]. Retrieved June 9, 2008</ref> or through the iTunes Podcast Directory<ref>[http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=275357712 iTunes Podcast Directory Entry].

[[Image:BritFurLogo.png|240px|thumb|right|BritFur Clubhouse logo]]The '''BritFur Clubhouse''' is a location in [[Second Life]], located in [[Machina]] (a [[Dark Sphere Creation|DSC]] Sim). It was set up by [[Nightwind Shu]] in March 2009, to allow British [[furries]] with Second Life accounts to meet and talk in a friendly atmosphere. The Clubhouse logo is a variation of the [[UKFur.org]] logo.

Stuart Otterson: /* Split */

I just thought I'd leave some comments concerning the revamp I've given the BritFur FM article. The information that was previously on it was out-of-date and hadn't been kept fresh for a few months, in which time various things have happened both in the number of shows disappearing and behind the scenes. With BritFur.FM now slowly getting back on its paws, with a fresh website made and stabilisation of the shows, I felt the wiki fur article also needed to go through extensive change. The schedule is now a wiki table; easier to update instead of the impractical photo.

The list of shows and staff has been removed in favour of having that information section underneath the first paragraph detailing links, staff and responsibilities, while underneath the timetable there is now a series of tables containing information about the shows. I've kept the information brief, I justify having the information there as it is informative and give readers a summed up knowledge of what each show is about. There was also presentation value, the information is both tidy and easy to soak in.

This won't be the last of the updating, I'll probably be looking to write up a little bit of history of the station over the last year for informative reasons and to add references.

--[[User:Stuart Otterson|Stuart Otterson]] 01:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

== Split ==

Today I noticed Jammingthefates has put a suggestion for splitting up the article.

So... what do you have in mind dare I ask?

I don't particularly see what splitting is needed, though if I hazard a guess it's probably to do with giving each show its own article. I don't see it as neccessary because apart from TigerTails Radio (whom already have a large wiki article), all the other shows would have short stub articles. As BritFur.FM is an umbrella operation, I see it as sensible for the article to contain a summary of each shows it hosts.

--[[User:Stuart Otterson|Stuart Otterson]] 14:59, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

:Wait a minute. I suggested the split? Odd... I don't recall any suggestion of that nature. I was only here to put some information on a table on the side. I guess I might have to get to you later on it ''if it is'' truly needed. (I hope I wasn't high or anything else of that matter, since I don't even take drugs.) --[[User:Jammingthefates|Jammingthefates]] 02:34, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Jammingthefates

:Back to you on the topic at hand, Mr. Otterson. I am with you on the matter that the ''BritFur.FM'' article '''does not''' require a split and/or disambiguations for each and every radio show, seeing that like you said, each show (in exception to TigerTails Radio) would only contain a bit of information that pertains to the description of that broadcast. On the other hand however, there are many other articles like that on the subject of authors and cartoonists such as Scott Ramsoomair (the creator of VG Cats) and Mat Sherer & Kat Smith (creators of BDK, Badly Drawn Kittens) that contains vague to little data about the individual, so I cannot see why these radio shows cannot have articles of their own that have the same amount of information likewise. Why not shoot for consistency if TigerTails Radio has their own article and other shows do not?

:Anyways, to sum it up, '''I am against the splitting of the BritFur.FM article at this time.''' I apologize further hitherto Mr. Otterson for the inconvenience, if I ''did ever'' suggest the splicing of the article. --[[User:Jammingthefates|Jammingthefates]] 02:45, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Jammingthefates

::Well I've carefully checked over the history and the split template was definitely inserted on your edit, I suspect you had accidentally copy and pasted it along with the info box, so no harm done and no offence intended Jammingthefates.

::I certainly wouldn't be against each show having their own article in addition to them having a summary article on the BritFur.FM page, else the former would look rather empty if it just listed the shows. TigerTails Radio already have a length page since it operated before BritFur.FM and has been going for over 4 years. I know Tryst's Rockbox, Lupus Ex Machina ad Slaughter House Radio have enough history and information to write about, however the 2 former shows are better written by listeners who know the full history behind it while the latter I'm reluctant to write yet since it seems somewhat self indulgent. I'll probably save writing the show a full article for when it enters series 2 later this year.

TigerTails Radio

Stuart Otterson: nevermind, name is already linked earlier

[[Image:TigertailsRadioLogo.png|right|200px|TigerTails Radio]]
'''TigerTails Radio''' is a [[furry]] [[Wikipedia:Internet radio|Internet radio]] show based in the United Kingdom, started by [[TK Tiger]] in mid-2004. It streams every Monday night on [[BritFur FM]] and a server provided by [[Mhisani]].

In its first season, one three-hour show was broadcast for every day of the year. The show has changed format numerous times, and has raised over £1000 for UK children's charity [[Wikipedia:Comic Relief|Comic Relief]].

* '''Address''': http://www.tigertailsradio.co.uk/
* '''Founder''': [[TK Tiger]]
* '''Ran from/to''': 20 July 2004 - present

== Season One ==

TigerTails Radio was started because TK Tiger felt that most Internet radio was rubbish, as all the stations he found were [[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] playlists with no one presenting the show. Teaming up with [[Blaster Hedgie]], TK decided to "put the voice" back in to Internet radio by running a furry radio station for an entire year. The first airdate was 20 July 2004.

For the first few broadcasts, TigerTails Radio was just talk radio, but MP3s soon found their way into the show as TK purchased more equipment. By the end of Season One, the show was running two feeds: one in mono for dial-up users, and a second in stereo for those on broadband.

Season One aired for three hours, every night of the week. When neither TK nor BH hosted the show, a reserve co-host was drafted in to cover. Replacement hosts included other UK furs [[Lazerus101]], [[Tungro]], [[SouthPaw]], and [[Goten]].

After 365 shows, TigerTails Radio celebrated its first birthday, and was killed off by TK, as it had achieved his goal of airing every single day since its creation.

=== ShepFact ===

During Season One, TK decided it was a good idea to have content supplied by the listeners. One listener was a fountain of knowledge who had just appeared on the Furry scene named [[Shep Shepherd]]. Every day Shep would supply the show with a fact, which either host would read out during the ShepFact music (a 50 second version of the ''[[Wikipedia:Blue Peter|Blue Peter]]'' theme). Shep would then put the fact in his [[LiveJournal]], and TK would update the TigerTails Radio website. When Shep was in the studio, he often prepared extra special ShepFacts for the show. To this day, Shep continues to post a daily ShepFact to his journal.

=== Memorable shows ===
==== The 80's Disco Night ====

The most memorable show from Season One was the 80's Disco. This is the only show the cast have a full archive of. The show ran for eight hours, 9PM until 5AM UK time. The main show was the normal three hours, but it was bookended by non-stop 80's music. The studio was turned into a dance-floor, complete with food, drinks, disco lights, and a mirror ball. A large number of guests turned up for the show, though few lasted the whole eight hours. A non-furry friend of [[Blaster Hedgie]] archived the show and posted it to the studio.

==== Karaoke Night ====

To celebrate the changing of the year from 2004 to 2005, TigerTails Radio held a [[Wikipedia:karaoke|karaoke]] night. Music was provided by the studio's [[Wikipedia:PS2|PS2]] and various editions of the game ''[[Wikipedia:SingStar|SingStar]]''. A large number of gusts came to see the new year in, and many took part in the singing. Notable performances included [[Klepsydra]] singing "Ace Of Spades", [[Leinir]] performing "Ain't No Sunshine", and TK's version of "Affirmation" - which he hated, but a few listeners enjoyed enough to ask him to repeat the song. He refused, and it became a running gag to ask TK to sing Affirmation. Klepsydra's "Ace Of Spades" was voted the best song of the night.

==== The Waffle Night ====

Near the end of Season One, a visit to the studio by Lazerus101 inspired the cast to relive the old talk radio style of show. The conversation was fast and flowing, to the point where the entire show had passed without anyone remembering to play any music. Only one listener complained about this, while others wrote in to say how much they had enjoyed the show.

==== TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 1 ====

12 March 2005 was the night of the UK childrens' charity [[Wikipedia:Comic Relief|Comic Relief]] (also known as "Red Nose Day".) TK decided it would be a good idea to raise money for this good cause by throwing 8 litres (US: [[Wikipedia:Liter|liter]]) of [[Wikipedia:BBC|BBC]] [[Wikipedia:gunge|gunge]] over the regular cast members. TK Tiger press-ganged [[Bungle BearSkunk]], Blaster Hedgie, and Lazerus101 into taking part as victims. Guests in the studio could donate money to pour the bucket of gunge over the cast member sat in "the hot seat" - which was a very cold seat as the gungings took place outside on a cold spring night.

[[Dark Lordess]] poured a bucket of orange gunge over TK first. An hour later Lazerus101 dumped 8 litres of blue gunge over BH. Another hour followed before TK got to be on the pouring end of the bucket, as he covered Bungle in a second blue bucket. Finally at around 1:30am, Laz received a bucket of orange gunge from [[TimmyPup]], who had donated £100 via the TigerTails Radio's portion of the Comic Relief website, kindly setup by SouthPaw. The show raised £301 in total.

==== The Final Show ====

TigerTails Radio celebrated its first birthday on 20 July 2005. During this show, TK made the announcement that this would be the last TigerTails Radio broadcast for Season One. The show turned in to a party, with people remembering their favorite shows, or sections from the show. After the show ended, the cast (chiefly TK, Blaster Hedgie and Shep Shepherd) waited a few moments before broadcasting an extra section for another hour of random fun. The show finally ended for real with TK reprising his karaoke night performance of "Affirmation".

== Pup Music Radio ==

'''Pup Music''' was a radio project to carry on where TigerTails Radio left off. A group of TigerTails Radio listeners, lead by [[Goten]], came together and created their own show. Pup Music later became [[Furocious Radio]], the show for [[Furocious Entertainment]] - the [[Manchester Northern Furmeet]] site.

== Season Two ==

Over half a year after TigerTails Radio was pulled off the air, Blaster Hedgie asked TK Tiger if he fancied restarting the radio show. TK agreed, and got to work preparing everything for Season Two of TigerTails Radio. This time the show would not be aired every night, but only when both TK and BH had the time to spare. This created a sporadic show schedule, so TK decided to archive each show and offer them for download for those who missed an episode.

=== Technical issues ===

Season Two aired 36 shows. The last show was the second Comic Relief Gunge show. Many technical problems stopped Season 2 from reaching its target of 100 shows, with two hard disk failures in the broadcast machine, the loss of the show archive server, amp and mixer problems, and the loss of the broadcast server.

=== Memorable shows ===
==== Show #0 ====

22nd of February 2006 was the date of the pilot show, numbered show #0. It wasn't a true show, but a live dry-run to test the new equipment. It got a good number of listeners, even without advertising. The show ran for the full three hours, and featured [[Silver Tomcat]] live via [[Wikipedia:Skype|Skype]], a new feature.

==== TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 2 ====

After raising over £300 in 2005, everyone involved thought it would be a good idea to try and raise the same amount, if not more, when Comic Relief 2007 rolled around. Three months of planning came together on 16 March 2007, when the second Gunge-a-thon took place. Ten furs, including the four victims from last time, took part - each getting a bucket of BBC gunge and a second bucket of something else.

The BBC gunge was poured by a friend of TK from the world of theatre. Like before, those in the studio could donate to pour a second bucket over the victim. A few victims' second bucket had been decided before the event thanks to online donations. These included [[Jowgenetsu]]'s gunging with porridge at the hands of [[Wikipedia:Lord Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]] as Jowgenetsu looked like [[Wikipedia:Harry Potter|Harry Potter]].

Furs gunged were [[Lazerus101]], [[SouthPaw]], Jowgenetsu, [[Xell]], [[Tungro]], Bungle BearSkunk, WolfPaw, Tryst, Blaster Hedgie, and finally [[TK Tiger]].

The night raised £700 for Comic Relief, more than double the 2005 effort, and £200 more than the night's target of £500.

== Season Three ==

Season Three of TigerTails Radio began airing on 17 September 2007, starting with another Show #0. It didn't go smoothly and a few problems were discovered and ironed out. The studio lost its Internet connection on the date Show #1 was due to air due to a change in ISP. Show #0.5 aired on Monday 19 November, using the studio's brand new (and much faster) Internet connection. This test show went without major incident, and [[Sacred]] was even able to call in to the studio via Skype without the technical difficulties previously involved.

A problem with spyware caused a big headache for TK shortly before Show #5 was due to air, as it killed the broadcast machine. Show #5 was not only Season 3's first Theme Night (TV Theme Tunes in this case), but it was also the Christmas Eve/Day show. A hasty install of XP (on a failing hard disk) failed to resolve the problem, forcing TK to reinstate an old piece of show equipment replaced after Season 1. Blaster Hedgie's laptop had been used to provide the music for the show but was replaced by the Skype PC in Season Two and vinyl records in Season Three. It served as a broadcast machine until TK fixed the normal broadcast computer.

While a schedule of airing dates was be listed on the front page of the TigerTails Radio website, the cast tried to air a show every Monday if possible. It was agreed that a regular air-date would help the show gain repeat listeners, while extra shows could be added mid-week if needed. TigerTails Radio 24 (see TTR24 below) saw listeners in to 2008 instead of a regular show, with Season Three restarted on Monday 7 January.

Show #14 was the first show to take advantage of the [[BritFur FM]] server, allowing TigerTails Radio to broadcast in stereo for the first time since late Season One. The BritFur stream was broadcast in 128kbps stereo, whereas [[Pridelands]] was still broadcast in 56kbps mono. As of Show #16, the show archive is recorded in stereo.

Show #22 was the first show to introduce a musical underscore to each show, and also a change in format (see Memorable Show #22). This format was maintained until Show #29.

On the morning of Show #29, six days before the show's fourth birthday, long-standing co-host BH decided to stand down from TigerTails Radio. His LiveJournal post on the matter lists his work schedule as one reason for deciding to quit, as well as feeling that he was no longer up to the task of being entertaining. BH had failed to appear on every show since Show #25, so his announcement was no surprise. His departure saw TK take the show back to its pirate roots for a while while a new co-host was sourced.

After a period of time, regular guest [[Eeve3]] became the new co-host, while another member of TK's household, Xavier, became the new regular guest. Records were replaced by MP3s again after the motor in the record player became unreliable, and the show never returned to the musical-underscore format of the PSP days. After Show #43, plans to end Season Three at Show #52 were decided, with TTR24 taking over the slot until a good working arrangement for Season Four could be decided upon.

=== Memorable shows ===

==== Show #17 ====
Dubbed the EPIC SHOW OF POWER by Dante the Jedi in the #tigertailsradio AnthroChat IRC channel, Show #17 was a small celebration of Easter 2008 that quickly got out of hand. [[Southpaw]] visited the studio for the first time in Season 3, Hedgie actually got something right for a change, and the show Blankety Blank actually ran like the TV show for the first time since the team started doing it. After the show ended, TK decided to broadcast a little extra music to scare the people still connected in to going to bed.

TK played "classic" old records like Mr Blobby, Rupert The Bear, The Addams Groove, and a collection of [[Wikipedia:Black Lace|Black Lace]] songs. Eventually, he resorted to letting Hedgie sing on the show, even digging out Affirmation (not seen since the end of Season One). Listeners were then invited to message the studio to show they were still listening. Responding listeners were (in no order): [[Kyyanno]], [[Mhisani]], [[CW Tyger]], [[Dante the Jedi]], [[Split Persona]] and [[Owl]], though server stats at the time reported nine users connected to the streams. Finally, after an extra two hours, TK called it a night and ended the broadcast for real, ending after a second round of the National Anthem (played at the end of every show since Season One Show #1) and a firm instruction of "Go To Bed", followed by a brief message announcing there will be "No Extra Part 2". Finally, the connections to Pridelands and BritFur were disconnected.

The archive (in the original .ogg format) was 148MB in size, compared to the show's normal archive size of around 90MB.

==== Show #22 ====
Nicknamed the Dead Show in a LiveJournal post by TK before the show aired, this was the first show of Season Three to run without any copyrighted music. It was also the first show ever to have backing music for the entire show. The new format came thanks to technical failures in two of the show's fleet of PCs (taking three hard-disks with them). The show was a very basic affair, with the opening jingle and the entire night's backing music being supplied by TK's PlayStation Portable. There was no Skype or messengers running, and IRC was op-less as the secondary IRC machine was the only IRC PC running. The show ended with TK playing the National Anthem live using BH's Keytar, as the .ogg version normally played wasn't converted and put on the PSP in time.

This show was three hours of talking, much like the Waffle Night of Season One. Though constant buffering problems kept the listener count down, those who did battle through the skipping gave enough positive feedback to convince TK to keep the format and turn TigerTails Radio in to BritFur FM's first Talk Show, which also meant that TigerTails Radio was no longer a pirate radio show.

[[Mustan]] provided the Blankety Blank questions for the night, which was won by TK (winning 50 blanks).

==== Show #41 ====
Also known as "The Drunk Show!", in which TigerTails Radio took a somewhat more alcohol-fueled look at the world for one night only, sponsored by [[Dante the Jedi]]. Having work in the morning, TK was drinking Tiger Beer (so he wouldn't get too drunk), Eeve3 was on vodka-based drinks, the teetotal Jowgenetsu was on Coke, while guests Lazerus, FoxieDragon and Draconder were drinking vodka, pear cider and beer respectively.

The evening ended with Eeve3 being more drunk than she had ever been in her life, and a rather merry FoxieDragon being escorted home by Lazerus and Jowgenetsu. Eeve3 woke up still drunk; after suffering her hangover she vowed never to drink that much again, ever!

=== Theme nights ===

While Season One had a theme night every Saturday, the idea was ditched for Season Two. Season Three saw the return of the theme night idea. The original plan was to have a theme night every fifth show, but that ultimately did not happen. So far, the theme nights have been:
* Show #05 - TV Themes
* Show #10 - Novelty Singles
* Show #15 - Video Games
* Show #20 - Movies and Musicals
* Show #28 - Experimental Music
* Show #32 - The Music of Michael Jackson

== Pre-Season Four ==

TTR24 lasted until January 2009, whereupon a series of Pre-Season Four shows began. A new mixer and a condenser microphone had been obtained over the Christmas period, and TK was keen to play with his new toys. Using a mic stand stolen from BH's copy of [[Wikipedia:Rock_Band_(video_game)|Rock Band]] and a good number of cable ties, TK managed to rig up a system where three microphones could be used, with a fourth mic hanging from TK's headphone cable. With the microphones no longer on the table, laptops could be brought in, and IRC corner was moved from afar to the centre of the action.

A new phono to USB adapter had also been obtained, allowing the show to be broadcast on one PC via USB (eliminating Sound Card Hiss) while a PC connected to the phono output could archive everything. An old PC was found, and the archiving software installed. The USB audio input, however, caused one of the show's webcams to fail (due to driver conflicts) resulting in the show only having a single webcam where there had been two in Season Three.

Finally, thanks to the new mixer having a cross-fader, TK's PSP could make a come-back with the backing music. The laptop formally belonging to BH was once again used to supply the normal music. It was also used to let TK play in IRC. The backing music was again Creative Commons, and mostly sourced from the artist Sanxion7.

9 Pre-Season Four shows ran, with Show #9 being the first to reintroduce Skype on a dedicated PC since the trial runs of Season Three. Show #9 was also the first show to introduce a second new mixer which allowed for increased volumes on the microphones (a problem plaguing the other Pre-Season Four shows), more sound effects, and the allowance for more things to be plugged in. Another mixer was rescued from the Season Three left-overs and used for the Skype PC. Fellow BritFur broadcaster [[Stuart Otterson]] joined the final Pre-Season Four show via Skype, winning the call-in game of "Twenty Questions" on his final chance.

== Season Four ==

Season Four started on March 16 2009. The show still uses [[Wikipedia:Shoutcast|Shoutcast]], and will support [[Wikipedia:podcasting|podcasting]]. The first podcast went live in late February, and was a segment of Pre-Season Four show #6. The segment was a trial run of a feature named That Time of the Month; a topical (and amusing) news quiz designed to give BH an excuse to come out retirement once a month. That Time of the Month will be done on the last show of each month, with the cast reviewing the month's news.

The Pre-Season Four shows helped the cast bash out a rough schedule for each show. The first 30 minutes is spent with the opening song, and the cast talking about their week, as well as any important news that may have affected them. The second half of the first hour is spent reviewing things, and updates on the Xavier Retro Gaming Challenge (another new segment for Season Four). The last hour is mostly chatting with IRC, playing music, Skype games, and if it's the last show of the month then That Time of the Month is played.

Future plans for Season Four include the TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 3, which has been put-back due to the economic downturn. This is now due to take place during the summer months.

The first update of the Yahoo360 blog in 2009 revealed the first show of Season Four was Show #472, counting all full shows since the very first show of Season One on July 20 2004. On Monday 20 July 2009, TigerTails Radio will hit Show #490, and become 5 years old.

== TTR24 ==

TigerTails Radio 24 (TTR24 for short) is a playlist set up for times when TigerTails Radio would normally be off-air, or for when a main show can't appear as scheduled. TTR24 often takes over during Christmas and New Years, and can run for many days non-stop. Season Three Show #28 saw TTR24 precede TigerTails Radio's live show for the first time, something which continued until the end of the season. TTR24 then took over for a few weeks before Season Four began in March 2009.

In times when the main TigerTails Radio show can not be broadcast, TTR24 is broadcast on all regular show servers. All other times, TTR24 is exclusive to the Pridelands server.

== TigerTails Radio Meet #1 ==

Announced in the Pre-Season Four shows, the TigerTails Radio Meet was a planned [[furmeet]] to take place in the city of Southampton (UK) during the first weekend of June 2009. While listening to the broadcast of Slaughter House Radio after the meet was announced, TK heard Stuart Otterson call the meet "The TigerTails Radio Convention", which coined the tagline "It's a meet, not a con!". Rough details of the event were listed on the TigerTails Radio Facebook page, with more detailed information appearing on the main TigerTails Radio Website when it was finalised.

Around twenty people turned up (though before the meet TK estimated only around seven would), including other BritFur hosts White Virus from Virus Core Radio and Stuart Otterson from Slaughter House Radio. The meet surprised some attendees by revealing that not all TigerTails Radio listeners are members of the Furry Fandom, though furs and non-furs mingled with great ease.

The first day was spent in a rather green part of Southampton known as Southampton Common, a patch of common land which contains lots of open space and trees. A planned barbecue was a huge success, with a small "instant barbecue" lasting for two hours - over twice its normal length. Even the weather held out, providing lots of glorious sunshine without getting too hot. The second day of the meet was spent eating at Chinese restaurants and looking around the shopping areas.

The initial feedback from the meet was positive enough to warrant thinking about another meet late in Season Four, or early in Season Five.

TigerTails Radio

2009-06-08T12:00:21Z

Stuart Otterson: /* TigerTails Radio Meet #1 */

[[Image:TigertailsRadioLogo.png|right|200px|TigerTails Radio]]
'''TigerTails Radio''' is a [[furry]] [[Wikipedia:Internet radio|Internet radio]] show based in the United Kingdom, started by [[TK Tiger]] in mid-2004. It streams every Monday night on [[BritFur FM]] and a server provided by [[Mhisani]].

In its first season, one three-hour show was broadcast for every day of the year. The show has changed format numerous times, and has raised over £1000 for UK children's charity [[Wikipedia:Comic Relief|Comic Relief]].

* '''Address''': http://www.tigertailsradio.co.uk/
* '''Founder''': [[TK Tiger]]
* '''Ran from/to''': 20 July 2004 - present

== Season One ==

TigerTails Radio was started because TK Tiger felt that most Internet radio was rubbish, as all the stations he found were [[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] playlists with no one presenting the show. Teaming up with [[Blaster Hedgie]], TK decided to "put the voice" back in to Internet radio by running a furry radio station for an entire year. The first airdate was 20 July 2004.

For the first few broadcasts, TigerTails Radio was just talk radio, but MP3s soon found their way into the show as TK purchased more equipment. By the end of Season One, the show was running two feeds: one in mono for dial-up users, and a second in stereo for those on broadband.

Season One aired for three hours, every night of the week. When neither TK nor BH hosted the show, a reserve co-host was drafted in to cover. Replacement hosts included other UK furs [[Lazerus101]], [[Tungro]], [[SouthPaw]], and [[Goten]].

After 365 shows, TigerTails Radio celebrated its first birthday, and was killed off by TK, as it had achieved his goal of airing every single day since its creation.

=== ShepFact ===

During Season One, TK decided it was a good idea to have content supplied by the listeners. One listener was a fountain of knowledge who had just appeared on the Furry scene named [[Shep Shepherd]]. Every day Shep would supply the show with a fact, which either host would read out during the ShepFact music (a 50 second version of the ''[[Wikipedia:Blue Peter|Blue Peter]]'' theme). Shep would then put the fact in his [[LiveJournal]], and TK would update the TigerTails Radio website. When Shep was in the studio, he often prepared extra special ShepFacts for the show. To this day, Shep continues to post a daily ShepFact to his journal.

=== Memorable shows ===
==== The 80's Disco Night ====

The most memorable show from Season One was the 80's Disco. This is the only show the cast have a full archive of. The show ran for eight hours, 9PM until 5AM UK time. The main show was the normal three hours, but it was bookended by non-stop 80's music. The studio was turned into a dance-floor, complete with food, drinks, disco lights, and a mirror ball. A large number of guests turned up for the show, though few lasted the whole eight hours. A non-furry friend of [[Blaster Hedgie]] archived the show and posted it to the studio.

==== Karaoke Night ====

To celebrate the changing of the year from 2004 to 2005, TigerTails Radio held a [[Wikipedia:karaoke|karaoke]] night. Music was provided by the studio's [[Wikipedia:PS2|PS2]] and various editions of the game ''[[Wikipedia:SingStar|SingStar]]''. A large number of gusts came to see the new year in, and many took part in the singing. Notable performances included [[Klepsydra]] singing "Ace Of Spades", [[Leinir]] performing "Ain't No Sunshine", and TK's version of "Affirmation" - which he hated, but a few listeners enjoyed enough to ask him to repeat the song. He refused, and it became a running gag to ask TK to sing Affirmation. Klepsydra's "Ace Of Spades" was voted the best song of the night.

==== The Waffle Night ====

Near the end of Season One, a visit to the studio by Lazerus101 inspired the cast to relive the old talk radio style of show. The conversation was fast and flowing, to the point where the entire show had passed without anyone remembering to play any music. Only one listener complained about this, while others wrote in to say how much they had enjoyed the show.

==== TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 1 ====

12 March 2005 was the night of the UK childrens' charity [[Wikipedia:Comic Relief|Comic Relief]] (also known as "Red Nose Day".) TK decided it would be a good idea to raise money for this good cause by throwing 8 litres (US: [[Wikipedia:Liter|liter]]) of [[Wikipedia:BBC|BBC]] [[Wikipedia:gunge|gunge]] over the regular cast members. TK Tiger press-ganged [[Bungle BearSkunk]], Blaster Hedgie, and Lazerus101 into taking part as victims. Guests in the studio could donate money to pour the bucket of gunge over the cast member sat in "the hot seat" - which was a very cold seat as the gungings took place outside on a cold spring night.

[[Dark Lordess]] poured a bucket of orange gunge over TK first. An hour later Lazerus101 dumped 8 litres of blue gunge over BH. Another hour followed before TK got to be on the pouring end of the bucket, as he covered Bungle in a second blue bucket. Finally at around 1:30am, Laz received a bucket of orange gunge from [[TimmyPup]], who had donated £100 via the TigerTails Radio's portion of the Comic Relief website, kindly setup by SouthPaw. The show raised £301 in total.

==== The Final Show ====

TigerTails Radio celebrated its first birthday on 20 July 2005. During this show, TK made the announcement that this would be the last TigerTails Radio broadcast for Season One. The show turned in to a party, with people remembering their favorite shows, or sections from the show. After the show ended, the cast (chiefly TK, Blaster Hedgie and Shep Shepherd) waited a few moments before broadcasting an extra section for another hour of random fun. The show finally ended for real with TK reprising his karaoke night performance of "Affirmation".

== Pup Music Radio ==

'''Pup Music''' was a radio project to carry on where TigerTails Radio left off. A group of TigerTails Radio listeners, lead by [[Goten]], came together and created their own show. Pup Music later became [[Furocious Radio]], the show for [[Furocious Entertainment]] - the [[Manchester Northern Furmeet]] site.

== Season Two ==

Over half a year after TigerTails Radio was pulled off the air, Blaster Hedgie asked TK Tiger if he fancied restarting the radio show. TK agreed, and got to work preparing everything for Season Two of TigerTails Radio. This time the show would not be aired every night, but only when both TK and BH had the time to spare. This created a sporadic show schedule, so TK decided to archive each show and offer them for download for those who missed an episode.

=== Technical issues ===

Season Two aired 36 shows. The last show was the second Comic Relief Gunge show. Many technical problems stopped Season 2 from reaching its target of 100 shows, with two hard disk failures in the broadcast machine, the loss of the show archive server, amp and mixer problems, and the loss of the broadcast server.

=== Memorable shows ===
==== Show #0 ====

22nd of February 2006 was the date of the pilot show, numbered show #0. It wasn't a true show, but a live dry-run to test the new equipment. It got a good number of listeners, even without advertising. The show ran for the full three hours, and featured [[Silver Tomcat]] live via [[Wikipedia:Skype|Skype]], a new feature.

==== TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 2 ====

After raising over £300 in 2005, everyone involved thought it would be a good idea to try and raise the same amount, if not more, when Comic Relief 2007 rolled around. Three months of planning came together on 16 March 2007, when the second Gunge-a-thon took place. Ten furs, including the four victims from last time, took part - each getting a bucket of BBC gunge and a second bucket of something else.

The BBC gunge was poured by a friend of TK from the world of theatre. Like before, those in the studio could donate to pour a second bucket over the victim. A few victims' second bucket had been decided before the event thanks to online donations. These included [[Jowgenetsu]]'s gunging with porridge at the hands of [[Wikipedia:Lord Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]] as Jowgenetsu looked like [[Wikipedia:Harry Potter|Harry Potter]].

Furs gunged were [[Lazerus101]], [[SouthPaw]], Jowgenetsu, [[Xell]], [[Tungro]], Bungle BearSkunk, WolfPaw, Tryst, Blaster Hedgie, and finally [[TK Tiger]].

The night raised £700 for Comic Relief, more than double the 2005 effort, and £200 more than the night's target of £500.

== Season Three ==

Season Three of TigerTails Radio began airing on 17 September 2007, starting with another Show #0. It didn't go smoothly and a few problems were discovered and ironed out. The studio lost its Internet connection on the date Show #1 was due to air due to a change in ISP. Show #0.5 aired on Monday 19 November, using the studio's brand new (and much faster) Internet connection. This test show went without major incident, and [[Sacred]] was even able to call in to the studio via Skype without the technical difficulties previously involved.

A problem with spyware caused a big headache for TK shortly before Show #5 was due to air, as it killed the broadcast machine. Show #5 was not only Season 3's first Theme Night (TV Theme Tunes in this case), but it was also the Christmas Eve/Day show. A hasty install of XP (on a failing hard disk) failed to resolve the problem, forcing TK to reinstate an old piece of show equipment replaced after Season 1. Blaster Hedgie's laptop had been used to provide the music for the show but was replaced by the Skype PC in Season Two and vinyl records in Season Three. It served as a broadcast machine until TK fixed the normal broadcast computer.

While a schedule of airing dates was be listed on the front page of the TigerTails Radio website, the cast tried to air a show every Monday if possible. It was agreed that a regular air-date would help the show gain repeat listeners, while extra shows could be added mid-week if needed. TigerTails Radio 24 (see TTR24 below) saw listeners in to 2008 instead of a regular show, with Season Three restarted on Monday 7 January.

Show #14 was the first show to take advantage of the [[BritFur FM]] server, allowing TigerTails Radio to broadcast in stereo for the first time since late Season One. The BritFur stream was broadcast in 128kbps stereo, whereas [[Pridelands]] was still broadcast in 56kbps mono. As of Show #16, the show archive is recorded in stereo.

Show #22 was the first show to introduce a musical underscore to each show, and also a change in format (see Memorable Show #22). This format was maintained until Show #29.

On the morning of Show #29, six days before the show's fourth birthday, long-standing co-host BH decided to stand down from TigerTails Radio. His LiveJournal post on the matter lists his work schedule as one reason for deciding to quit, as well as feeling that he was no longer up to the task of being entertaining. BH had failed to appear on every show since Show #25, so his announcement was no surprise. His departure saw TK take the show back to its pirate roots for a while while a new co-host was sourced.

After a period of time, regular guest [[Eeve3]] became the new co-host, while another member of TK's household, Xavier, became the new regular guest. Records were replaced by MP3s again after the motor in the record player became unreliable, and the show never returned to the musical-underscore format of the PSP days. After Show #43, plans to end Season Three at Show #52 were decided, with TTR24 taking over the slot until a good working arrangement for Season Four could be decided upon.

=== Memorable shows ===

==== Show #17 ====
Dubbed the EPIC SHOW OF POWER by Dante the Jedi in the #tigertailsradio AnthroChat IRC channel, Show #17 was a small celebration of Easter 2008 that quickly got out of hand. [[Southpaw]] visited the studio for the first time in Season 3, Hedgie actually got something right for a change, and the show Blankety Blank actually ran like the TV show for the first time since the team started doing it. After the show ended, TK decided to broadcast a little extra music to scare the people still connected in to going to bed.

TK played "classic" old records like Mr Blobby, Rupert The Bear, The Addams Groove, and a collection of [[Wikipedia:Black Lace|Black Lace]] songs. Eventually, he resorted to letting Hedgie sing on the show, even digging out Affirmation (not seen since the end of Season One). Listeners were then invited to message the studio to show they were still listening. Responding listeners were (in no order): [[Kyyanno]], [[Mhisani]], [[CW Tyger]], [[Dante the Jedi]], [[Split Persona]] and [[Owl]], though server stats at the time reported nine users connected to the streams. Finally, after an extra two hours, TK called it a night and ended the broadcast for real, ending after a second round of the National Anthem (played at the end of every show since Season One Show #1) and a firm instruction of "Go To Bed", followed by a brief message announcing there will be "No Extra Part 2". Finally, the connections to Pridelands and BritFur were disconnected.

The archive (in the original .ogg format) was 148MB in size, compared to the show's normal archive size of around 90MB.

==== Show #22 ====
Nicknamed the Dead Show in a LiveJournal post by TK before the show aired, this was the first show of Season Three to run without any copyrighted music. It was also the first show ever to have backing music for the entire show. The new format came thanks to technical failures in two of the show's fleet of PCs (taking three hard-disks with them). The show was a very basic affair, with the opening jingle and the entire night's backing music being supplied by TK's PlayStation Portable. There was no Skype or messengers running, and IRC was op-less as the secondary IRC machine was the only IRC PC running. The show ended with TK playing the National Anthem live using BH's Keytar, as the .ogg version normally played wasn't converted and put on the PSP in time.

This show was three hours of talking, much like the Waffle Night of Season One. Though constant buffering problems kept the listener count down, those who did battle through the skipping gave enough positive feedback to convince TK to keep the format and turn TigerTails Radio in to BritFur FM's first Talk Show, which also meant that TigerTails Radio was no longer a pirate radio show.

[[Mustan]] provided the Blankety Blank questions for the night, which was won by TK (winning 50 blanks).

==== Show #41 ====
Also known as "The Drunk Show!", in which TigerTails Radio took a somewhat more alcohol-fueled look at the world for one night only, sponsored by [[Dante the Jedi]]. Having work in the morning, TK was drinking Tiger Beer (so he wouldn't get too drunk), Eeve3 was on vodka-based drinks, the teetotal Jowgenetsu was on Coke, while guests Lazerus, FoxieDragon and Draconder were drinking vodka, pear cider and beer respectively.

The evening ended with Eeve3 being more drunk than she had ever been in her life, and a rather merry FoxieDragon being escorted home by Lazerus and Jowgenetsu. Eeve3 woke up still drunk; after suffering her hangover she vowed never to drink that much again, ever!

=== Theme nights ===

While Season One had a theme night every Saturday, the idea was ditched for Season Two. Season Three saw the return of the theme night idea. The original plan was to have a theme night every fifth show, but that ultimately did not happen. So far, the theme nights have been:
* Show #05 - TV Themes
* Show #10 - Novelty Singles
* Show #15 - Video Games
* Show #20 - Movies and Musicals
* Show #28 - Experimental Music
* Show #32 - The Music of Michael Jackson

== Pre-Season Four ==

TTR24 lasted until January 2009, whereupon a series of Pre-Season Four shows began. A new mixer and a condenser microphone had been obtained over the Christmas period, and TK was keen to play with his new toys. Using a mic stand stolen from BH's copy of [[Wikipedia:Rock_Band_(video_game)|Rock Band]] and a good number of cable ties, TK managed to rig up a system where three microphones could be used, with a fourth mic hanging from TK's headphone cable. With the microphones no longer on the table, laptops could be brought in, and IRC corner was moved from afar to the centre of the action.

A new phono to USB adapter had also been obtained, allowing the show to be broadcast on one PC via USB (eliminating Sound Card Hiss) while a PC connected to the phono output could archive everything. An old PC was found, and the archiving software installed. The USB audio input, however, caused one of the show's webcams to fail (due to driver conflicts) resulting in the show only having a single webcam where there had been two in Season Three.

Finally, thanks to the new mixer having a cross-fader, TK's PSP could make a come-back with the backing music. The laptop formally belonging to BH was once again used to supply the normal music. It was also used to let TK play in IRC. The backing music was again Creative Commons, and mostly sourced from the artist Sanxion7.

9 Pre-Season Four shows ran, with Show #9 being the first to reintroduce Skype on a dedicated PC since the trial runs of Season Three. Show #9 was also the first show to introduce a second new mixer which allowed for increased volumes on the microphones (a problem plaguing the other Pre-Season Four shows), more sound effects, and the allowance for more things to be plugged in. Another mixer was rescued from the Season Three left-overs and used for the Skype PC. Fellow BritFur broadcaster [[Stuart Otterson]] joined the final Pre-Season Four show via Skype, winning the call-in game of "Twenty Questions" on his final chance.

== Season Four ==

Season Four started on March 16 2009. The show still uses [[Wikipedia:Shoutcast|Shoutcast]], and will support [[Wikipedia:podcasting|podcasting]]. The first podcast went live in late February, and was a segment of Pre-Season Four show #6.

Future plans for Season Four include the TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 3, which has been put-back due to the economic downturn. This is now due to take place during the summer months.

The first update of the Yahoo360 blog in 2009 revealed the first show of Season Four was Show #472, counting all full shows since the very first show of Season One on July 20 2004. On Monday 20 July 2009, TigerTails Radio will hit Show #490, and become 5 years old.

TTR24 often takes over during Christmas and New Years, and can run for many days non-stop. Season Three Show #28 saw TTR24 precede TigerTails Radio's live show for the first time, something which continued until the end of the season.

In times when the main TigerTails Radio show can not be broadcast, TTR24 is broadcast on all regular show servers. All other times, TTR24 is exclusive to the Pridelands server.

== TigerTails Radio Meet #1 ==

Announced in the Pre-Season Four shows, the TigerTails Radio Meet was a planned [[furmeet]] to take place in the city of Southampton (UK) during the first weekend of June 2009. While listening to the broadcast of Slaughter House Radio after the meet was announced, TK heard [[Stuart Otterson]] call the meet "The TigerTails Radio Convention", which coined the tagline "It's a meet, not a con!".

Even the weather held out, providing lots of glorious sunshine without getting too hot. The second day of the meet was spent eating at Chinese restaurants and looking around the shopping areas.

The initial feedback from the meet was positive enough to warrant thinking about another meet late in Season Four, or early in Season Five.

TigerTails Radio was started because TK Tiger felt that most Internet radio was rubbish, as all the stations he found were [[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] playlists with no one presenting the show. Teaming up with [[Blaster Hedgie]], TK decided to "put the voice" back in to Internet radio by running a furry radio station for an entire year. The first airdate was 20 July 2004.

For the first few broadcasts, TigerTails Radio was just talk radio, but MP3s soon found their way into the show as TK purchased more equipment. By the end of Season One, the show was running two feeds: one in mono for dial-up users, and a second in stereo for those on broadband.

Season One aired for three hours, every night of the week. When neither TK nor BH hosted the show, a reserve co-host was drafted in to cover. Replacement hosts included other UK furs [[Lazerus101]], [[Tungro]], [[SouthPaw]], and [[Goten]].

After 365 shows, TigerTails Radio celebrated its first birthday, and was killed off by TK, as it had achieved his goal of airing every single day since its creation.

=== ShepFact ===

During Season One, TK decided it was a good idea to have content supplied by the listeners. One listener was a fountain of knowledge who had just appeared on the Furry scene named [[Shep Shepherd]]. Every day Shep would supply the show with a fact, which either host would read out during the ShepFact music (a 50 second version of the ''[[Wikipedia:Blue Peter|Blue Peter]]'' theme). Shep would then put the fact in his [[LiveJournal]], and TK would update the TigerTails Radio website. When Shep was in the studio, he often prepared extra special ShepFacts for the show. To this day, Shep continues to post a daily ShepFact to his journal.

=== Memorable shows ===
==== The 80's Disco Night ====

The most memorable show from Season One was the 80's Disco. This is the only show the cast have a full archive of. The show ran for eight hours, 9PM until 5AM UK time. The main show was the normal three hours, but it was bookended by non-stop 80's music. The studio was turned into a dance-floor, complete with food, drinks, disco lights, and a mirror ball. A large number of guests turned up for the show, though few lasted the whole eight hours. A non-furry friend of [[Blaster Hedgie]] archived the show and posted it to the studio.

==== Karaoke Night ====

To celebrate the changing of the year from 2004 to 2005, TigerTails Radio held a [[Wikipedia:karaoke|karaoke]] night. Music was provided by the studio's [[Wikipedia:PS2|PS2]] and various editions of the game ''[[Wikipedia:SingStar|SingStar]]''. A large number of gusts came to see the new year in, and many took part in the singing. Notable performances included [[Klepsydra]] singing "Ace Of Spades", [[Leinir]] performing "Ain't No Sunshine", and TK's version of "Affirmation" - which he hated, but a few listeners enjoyed enough to ask him to repeat the song. He refused, and it became a running gag to ask TK to sing Affirmation. Klepsydra's "Ace Of Spades" was voted the best song of the night.

==== The Waffle Night ====

Near the end of Season One, a visit to the studio by Lazerus101 inspired the cast to relive the old talk radio style of show. The conversation was fast and flowing, to the point where the entire show had passed without anyone remembering to play any music. Only one listener complained about this, while others wrote in to say how much they had enjoyed the show.

==== TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 1 ====

12 March 2005 was the night of the UK childrens' charity [[Wikipedia:Comic Relief|Comic Relief]] (also known as "Red Nose Day".) TK decided it would be a good idea to raise money for this good cause by throwing 8 litres (US: [[Wikipedia:Liter|liter]]) of [[Wikipedia:BBC|BBC]] [[Wikipedia:gunge|gunge]] over the regular cast members. TK Tiger press-ganged [[Bungle BearSkunk]], Blaster Hedgie, and Lazerus101 into taking part as victims. Guests in the studio could donate money to pour the bucket of gunge over the cast member sat in "the hot seat" - which was a very cold seat as the gungings took place outside on a cold spring night.

[[Dark Lordess]] poured a bucket of orange gunge over TK first. An hour later Lazerus101 dumped 8 litres of blue gunge over BH. Another hour followed before TK got to be on the pouring end of the bucket, as he covered Bungle in a second blue bucket. Finally at around 1:30am, Laz received a bucket of orange gunge from [[TimmyPup]], who had donated £100 via the TigerTails Radio's portion of the Comic Relief website, kindly setup by SouthPaw. The show raised £301 in total.

==== The Final Show ====

TigerTails Radio celebrated its first birthday on 20 July 2005. During this show, TK made the announcement that this would be the last TigerTails Radio broadcast for Season One. The show turned in to a party, with people remembering their favorite shows, or sections from the show. After the show ended, the cast (chiefly TK, Blaster Hedgie and Shep Shepherd) waited a few moments before broadcasting an extra section for another hour of random fun. The show finally ended for real with TK reprising his karaoke night performance of "Affirmation".

== Pup Music Radio ==

'''Pup Music''' was a radio project to carry on where TigerTails Radio left off. A group of TigerTails Radio listeners, lead by [[Goten]], came together and created their own show. Pup Music later became [[Furocious Radio]], the show for [[Furocious Entertainment]] - the [[Manchester Northern Furmeet]] site.

== Season Two ==

Over half a year after TigerTails Radio was pulled off the air, Blaster Hedgie asked TK Tiger if he fancied restarting the radio show. TK agreed, and got to work preparing everything for Season Two of TigerTails Radio. This time the show would not be aired every night, but only when both TK and BH had the time to spare. This created a sporadic show schedule, so TK decided to archive each show and offer them for download for those who missed an episode.

=== Technical issues ===

Season Two aired 36 shows. The last show was the second Comic Relief Gunge show. Many technical problems stopped Season 2 from reaching its target of 100 shows, with two hard disk failures in the broadcast machine, the loss of the show archive server, amp and mixer problems, and the loss of the broadcast server.

=== Memorable shows ===
==== Show #0 ====

22nd of February 2006 was the date of the pilot show, numbered show #0. It wasn't a true show, but a live dry-run to test the new equipment. It got a good number of listeners, even without advertising. The show ran for the full three hours, and featured [[Silver Tomcat]] live via [[Wikipedia:Skype|Skype]], a new feature.

==== TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 2 ====

After raising over £300 in 2005, everyone involved thought it would be a good idea to try and raise the same amount, if not more, when Comic Relief 2007 rolled around. Three months of planning came together on 16 March 2007, when the second Gunge-a-thon took place. Ten furs, including the four victims from last time, took part - each getting a bucket of BBC gunge and a second bucket of something else.

The BBC gunge was poured by a friend of TK from the world of theatre. Like before, those in the studio could donate to pour a second bucket over the victim. A few victims' second bucket had been decided before the event thanks to online donations. These included [[Jowgenetsu]]'s gunging with porridge at the hands of [[Wikipedia:Lord Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]] as Jowgenetsu looked like [[Wikipedia:Harry Potter|Harry Potter]].

Furs gunged were [[Lazerus101]], [[SouthPaw]], Jowgenetsu, [[Xell]], [[Tungro]], Bungle BearSkunk, WolfPaw, Tryst, Blaster Hedgie, and finally [[TK Tiger]].

The night raised £700 for Comic Relief, more than double the 2005 effort, and £200 more than the night's target of £500.

== Season Three ==

Season Three of TigerTails Radio began airing on 17 September 2007, starting with another Show #0. It didn't go smoothly and a few problems were discovered and ironed out. The studio lost its Internet connection on the date Show #1 was due to air due to a change in ISP. Show #0.5 aired on Monday 19 November, using the studio's brand new (and much faster) Internet connection. This test show went without major incident, and [[Sacred]] was even able to call in to the studio via Skype without the technical difficulties previously involved.

A problem with spyware caused a big headache for TK shortly before Show #5 was due to air, as it killed the broadcast machine. Show #5 was not only Season 3's first Theme Night (TV Theme Tunes in this case), but it was also the Christmas Eve/Day show. A hasty install of XP (on a failing hard disk) failed to resolve the problem, forcing TK to reinstate an old piece of show equipment replaced after Season 1. Blaster Hedgie's laptop had been used to provide the music for the show but was replaced by the Skype PC in Season Two and vinyl records in Season Three. It served as a broadcast machine until TK fixed the normal broadcast computer.

While a schedule of airing dates was be listed on the front page of the TigerTails Radio website, the cast tried to air a show every Monday if possible. It was agreed that a regular air-date would help the show gain repeat listeners, while extra shows could be added mid-week if needed. TigerTails Radio 24 (see TTR24 below) saw listeners in to 2008 instead of a regular show, with Season Three restarted on Monday 7 January.

Show #14 was the first show to take advantage of the [[BritFur FM]] server, allowing TigerTails Radio to broadcast in stereo for the first time since late Season One. The BritFur stream was broadcast in 128kbps stereo, whereas [[Pridelands]] was still broadcast in 56kbps mono. As of Show #16, the show archive is recorded in stereo.

Show #22 was the first show to introduce a musical underscore to each show, and also a change in format (see Memorable Show #22). This format was maintained until Show #29.

On the morning of Show #29, six days before the show's fourth birthday, long-standing co-host BH decided to stand down from TigerTails Radio. His LiveJournal post on the matter lists his work schedule as one reason for deciding to quit, as well as feeling that he was no longer up to the task of being entertaining. BH had failed to appear on every show since Show #25, so his announcement was no surprise. His departure saw TK take the show back to its pirate roots for a while while a new co-host was sourced.

After a period of time, regular guest [[Eeve3]] became the new co-host, while another member of TK's household, Xavier, became the new regular guest. Records were replaced by MP3s again after the motor in the record player became unreliable, and the show never returned to the musical-underscore format of the PSP days. After Show #43, plans to end Season Three at Show #52 were decided, with TTR24 taking over the slot until a good working arrangement for Season Four could be decided upon.

=== Memorable shows ===

==== Show #17 ====
Dubbed the EPIC SHOW OF POWER by Dante the Jedi in the #tigertailsradio AnthroChat IRC channel, Show #17 was a small celebration of Easter 2008 that quickly got out of hand. [[Southpaw]] visited the studio for the first time in Season 3, Hedgie actually got something right for a change, and the show Blankety Blank actually ran like the TV show for the first time since the team started doing it. After the show ended, TK decided to broadcast a little extra music to scare the people still connected in to going to bed.

TK played "classic" old records like Mr Blobby, Rupert The Bear, The Addams Groove, and a collection of [[Wikipedia:Black Lace|Black Lace]] songs. Eventually, he resorted to letting Hedgie sing on the show, even digging out Affirmation (not seen since the end of Season One). Listeners were then invited to message the studio to show they were still listening. Responding listeners were (in no order): [[Kyyanno]], [[Mhisani]], [[CW Tyger]], [[Dante the Jedi]], [[Split Persona]] and [[Owl]], though server stats at the time reported nine users connected to the streams. Finally, after an extra two hours, TK called it a night and ended the broadcast for real, ending after a second round of the National Anthem (played at the end of every show since Season One Show #1) and a firm instruction of "Go To Bed", followed by a brief message announcing there will be "No Extra Part 2". Finally, the connections to Pridelands and BritFur were disconnected.

The archive (in the original .ogg format) was 148MB in size, compared to the show's normal archive size of around 90MB.

==== Show #22 ====
Nicknamed the Dead Show in a LiveJournal post by TK before the show aired, this was the first show of Season Three to run without any copyrighted music. It was also the first show ever to have backing music for the entire show. The new format came thanks to technical failures in two of the show's fleet of PCs (taking three hard-disks with them). The show was a very basic affair, with the opening jingle and the entire night's backing music being supplied by TK's PlayStation Portable. There was no Skype or messengers running, and IRC was op-less as the secondary IRC machine was the only IRC PC running. The show ended with TK playing the National Anthem live using BH's Keytar, as the .ogg version normally played wasn't converted and put on the PSP in time.

This show was three hours of talking, much like the Waffle Night of Season One. Though constant buffering problems kept the listener count down, those who did battle through the skipping gave enough positive feedback to convince TK to keep the format and turn TigerTails Radio in to BritFur FM's first Talk Show, which also meant that TigerTails Radio was no longer a pirate radio show.

[[Mustan]] provided the Blankety Blank questions for the night, which was won by TK (winning 50 blanks).

==== Show #41 ====
Also known as "The Drunk Show!", in which TigerTails Radio took a somewhat more alcohol-fueled look at the world for one night only, sponsored by [[Dante the Jedi]]. Having work in the morning, TK was drinking Tiger Beer (so he wouldn't get too drunk), Eeve3 was on vodka-based drinks, the teetotal Jowgenetsu was on Coke, while guests Lazerus, FoxieDragon and Draconder were drinking vodka, pear cider and beer respectively.

The evening ended with Eeve3 being more drunk than she had ever been in her life, and a rather merry FoxieDragon being escorted home by Lazerus and Jowgenetsu. Eeve3 woke up still drunk; after suffering her hangover she vowed never to drink that much again, ever!

=== Theme nights ===

While Season One had a theme night every Saturday, the idea was ditched for Season Two. Season Three saw the return of the theme night idea. The original plan was to have a theme night every fifth show, but that ultimately did not happen. So far, the theme nights have been:
* Show #05 - TV Themes
* Show #10 - Novelty Singles
* Show #15 - Video Games
* Show #20 - Movies and Musicals
* Show #28 - Experimental Music
* Show #32 - The Music of Michael Jackson

== Pre-Season Four ==

TTR24 lasted until January 2009, whereupon a series of Pre-Season Four shows began. A new mixer and a condenser microphone had been obtained over the Christmas period, and TK was keen to play with his new toys. Using a mic stand stolen from BH's copy of [[Wikipedia:Rock_Band_(video_game)|Rock Band]] and a good number of cable ties, TK managed to rig up a system where three microphones could be used, with a fourth mic hanging from TK's headphone cable. With the microphones no longer on the table, laptops could be brought in, and IRC corner was moved from afar to the centre of the action.

A new phono to USB adapter had also been obtained, allowing the show to be broadcast on one PC via USB (eliminating Sound Card Hiss) while a PC connected to the phono output could archive everything. An old PC was found, and the archiving software installed. The USB audio input, however, caused one of the show's webcams to fail (due to driver conflicts) resulting in the show only having a single webcam where there had been two in Season Three.

Finally, thanks to the new mixer having a cross-fader, TK's PSP could make a come-back with the backing music. The laptop formally belonging to BH was once again used to supply the normal music. It was also used to let TK play in IRC. The backing music was again Creative Commons, and mostly sourced from the artist Sanxion7.

9 Pre-Season Four shows ran, with Show #9 being the first to reintroduce Skype on a dedicated PC since the trial runs of Season Three. Show #9 was also the first show to introduce a second new mixer which allowed for increased volumes on the microphones (a problem plaguing the other Pre-Season Four shows), more sound effects, and the allowance for more things to be plugged in. Another mixer was rescued from the Season Three left-overs and used for the Skype PC. Fellow BritFur broadcaster [[Stuart Otterson]] joined the final Pre-Season Four show via Skype, winning the call-in game of "Twenty Questions" on his final chance.

== Season Four ==

Season Four started on March 16 2009. The show still uses [[Wikipedia:Shoutcast|Shoutcast]], and will support [[Wikipedia:podcasting|podcasting]]. The first podcast went live in late February, and was a segment of Pre-Season Four show #6. The segment was a trial run of a feature named That Time of the Month; a topical (and amusing) news quiz designed to give BH an excuse to come out retirement once a month. That Time of the Month will be done on the last show of each month, with the cast reviewing the month's news.

The Pre-Season Four shows helped the cast bash out a rough schedule for each show. The first 30 minutes is spent with the opening song, and the cast talking about their week, as well as any important news that may have affected them. The second half of the first hour is spent reviewing things, and updates on the Xavier Retro Gaming Challenge (another new segment for Season Four). The last hour is mostly chatting with IRC, playing music, Skype games, and if it's the last show of the month then That Time of the Month is played.

Future plans for Season Four include the TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 3, which has been put-back due to the economic downturn. This is now due to take place during the summer months.

The first update of the Yahoo360 blog in 2009 revealed the first show of Season Four was Show #472, counting all full shows since the very first show of Season One on July 20 2004. On Monday 20 July 2009, TigerTails Radio will hit Show #490, and become 5 years old.

== TTR24 ==

TigerTails Radio 24 (TTR24 for short) is a playlist set up for times when TigerTails Radio would normally be off-air, or for when a main show can't appear as scheduled. TTR24 often takes over during Christmas and New Years, and can run for many days non-stop. Season Three Show #28 saw TTR24 precede TigerTails Radio's live show for the first time, something which continued until the end of the season. TTR24 then took over for a few weeks before Season Four began in March 2009.

In times when the main TigerTails Radio show can not be broadcast, TTR24 is broadcast on all regular show servers. All other times, TTR24 is exclusive to the Pridelands server.

== TigerTails Radio Meet #1 ==

Announced in the Pre-Season Four shows, the TigerTails Radio Meet was a planned [[furmeet]] to take place in the city of Southampton (UK) during the first weekend of June 2009. While listening to the broadcast of Slaughter House Radio after the meet was announced, TK heard Stuart Otterson call the meet "The TigerTails Radio Convention", which coined the tagline "It's a meet, not a con!". Rough details of the event were listed on the TigerTails Radio Facebook page, with more detailed information appearing on the main TigerTails Radio Website when it was finalised.

Around twenty people turned up (though before the meet TK estimated only around seven would), including other BritFur hosts White Virus from Virus Core Radio and [[Stuart Otterson]] from Slaughter House Radio. The meet surprised some attendees by revealing that not all TigerTails Radio listeners are members of the Furry Fandom, though furs and non-furs mingled with great ease.

The first day was spent in a rather green part of Southampton known as Southampton Common, a patch of common land which contains lots of open space and trees. A planned barbecue was a huge success, with a small "instant barbecue" lasting for two hours - over twice its normal length. Even the weather held out, providing lots of glorious sunshine without getting too hot. The second day of the meet was spent eating at Chinese restaurants and looking around the shopping areas.

The initial feedback from the meet was positive enough to warrant thinking about another meet late in Season Four, or early in Season Five.

{{Cleanup-copyedit}}

[[Image:Cerebus-master-small.jpg|right|thumb|Njhcerebus|150px]]
'''Njhcerebus''', also known as '''Cerebus''' (real name: '''Nathan James Harrison''', born April 26, 1986,) is a [[furry]] who lives in [[Wikipedia:Wythenshawe|Wythenshawe]], [[Wikipedia:Greater Manchester|Greater Manchester]], United Kingdom.

He discovered the [[furry fandom]] at the age of 18 while studying at Stockport college where he found a picture and later on found [[FurAffinity|FA]] and [[Yiffstar]]. After finding Yiffstar Nathan made a fursona called Njhcerebus; a dragon fox wearing very gothic clothing, but after buying his first comic which was [[Heat 3]] and read the [[Adam Wan]] comic, he took a liking to Owen who was a dalmatian so he changed his dragon fox to a dalmatian and just called him Cerebus. He joined FA and was found by a furry called KennoFox who told Cerebus of the furmeets that happens in Manchester.

The first furry he met in the real life was Dan Raccoon and later he attended his first furmeet in Manchester and made friends with others. Cerebus was straight when he join, later becoming bi, but became fully gay because of some bad experiences with straight relationships. Cerebus has a few fursuits, one of which was a head commission and worn it at his first furcon, Eurofurence 13. After a few month Cerebus sold his Cerebus fursuit head to Wolfer after buying a new fursuit from KH but ran out of money for bills.

== Fursonas ==

His [[fursona]] Cerebus is a [[dalmatian]] He has a second fursona, Wesker, who is a [[Black Panther]] and a 3rd fursona called Cloud Hunt which is a [[Crux]] 4th fursona is Engel who is a male husky and his final one is Winchester who is a male saltwater croc

Stuart Otterson:

[[Image:Alexgrey.png|220px|right|Alexander Grey]]
'''Alexander Grey''' (previously '''Tori Belliachi''', also known as '''Robomilk''' and '''Cartographer''') is the [[fursona]] of '''Shaun Hargreaves''', a [[furry]] [[artist]] and [[writer]] known for producing a variety of websites and videos, as well as being a [[WikiFur]] administrator. He is a member of the [[fatfur]], [[inflation]], [[Vorarephilia|vore]] and [[transformation]] sub-fandoms.

== Fursona ==
Grey was named Tori Andrew Belliachi between 2006 and 2009. This was changed to Alexander Grey in February 2009.

Tori named himself after [[wikipedia:Tory Belleci|Tory Belleci]] of [[wikipedia:MythBusters|MythBusters]] fame as a means of honouring the man's work. One notable thing about Grey's various generations (or "eras") is that all of them have been grey in colour, as well as having long black hair — with the exception of the earliest Belliachi model (occasionally referred to as '''Tori [[wikipedia:Beta_version|Beta]]chi''') which was pink.

The name Alexander Grey was derived from the colour grey, which Grey considers to be a good fit for his personality.
{{q|The colour grey is commonly associated with boredom, reality, seriousness, neutrality, dullness, mediocrity, undefinedness, contentment and intellect (as in "grey matter") -- all these words describe me}}

He has a [[furry family]] which currently composes of [[Angelic Wolf]], [[Daryl]], [[Hiro Judgement]], [[Samael]], [[Silver R. Wolfe]] and [[TehBrownPup]].

=== May 2006 to May 2007 ===
Before May of 2007, Grey's fursona was a [[wolf]], often described as "a vampire wolf with the mentality of a fox," highlighting his love of [[fox]]es and [[bat]]s without physically being one. The earliest versions of this character were more akin to [[kemonomimi]] - with a mostly human looking fursona possessing canine ears and a tail.

[[Image:ToriBelliachi.jpg|100px|right|Alexander Grey as a [[folf]], illustrated by [[Bethy Chan]].]]

=== May 2007 to July 2008 ===
Following a meeting with his [[Therianthropy|spirit guide]] via a psychic it was concluded that he was actually a [[folf]], a 82% wolf, 18% fox hybrid species. The character was changed accordingly, however many of the original attributes were retained, the [[tail]] and [[muzzle]] structure being the only major changes.

During this time a different form was also used occasionally: a one foot tall fruit [[bat]] affectionately named '''Tori Battiachi'''.

=== July 2008 to present ===
As of July 2008, Grey's fursona has permanently changed to that of a bat, with some variations of the traditional Battiachi character, notably being four foot tall rather than just one. This change is cited as to being bored of having been a canine for over two years — as well as the general lack of bats in the fandom.

This newest incarnation has been much more influenced by the Argentine revolutionary [[wikipedia:Che Guevara|Che Guevara]], one of Grey's political heroes.

== Real life ==
[[Image:Tori-Belliachi_Hiro-Nakamura.jpg|160px|right|Grey's [[folf]] era recreation of [[wikipedia:Hiro Nakamura|Hiro Nakamura]].]]
Shaun Hargreaves (born 1991) is the child of a [[wikipedia:Malaysia|Malaysian]] mother and [[wikipedia:England|English]] father. He based his fursona much on himself; so much so that any changes that occur to Shaun in real life tend to be reflected on his fursona. He first found the furry fandom in November 2005 after doing a Google search relating to [[Scooby Doo]] and finally decided to become an active member in May 2006.

Shaun has a strong interest in the concept of time travel, particularly characters such as [[wikipedia:The Doctor (Doctor Who)|The Doctor]] from British drama [[Doctor Who]] and [[wikipedia:Hiro Nakamura|Hiro Nakamura]] from American series [[wikipedia:Heroes (series)|Heroes]]. Because of this link with his fursonas abilities, Grey has been drawn in similar situations as Hiro and the Doctor on a number of occasions.

== Roles in the fandom ==
As a member of the furry fandom, Grey appears to have taken it upon himself to aid the progression of the furry fandom in the media through any means possible. He has also ran [[furmeet]]s; including a private, all expenses paid meeting on his birthday in 2007. Grey currently helps managing the Manchester [[fatfur]] meets with [[Little Wolf]].

=== On websites ===
As well as his own range of websites, most notably [[FurteanTimes.com]], Grey works on a number of other furry and non-furry related web design projects.

These include being an ex-moderator of [[The InflationNation]]'s forum and the head of graphic design at [[MyFursona]] from 2007 until 2009, as well as a number of small or temporary jobs on other furry and non-furry related websites and forums. On June 10, 2008, he was made an administrator on [[WikiFur]] for his continual contributions to the site.

=== In the [[YouTube Furry War]] ===
Following a lot of disruption on [[YouTube]] after a furry uprising against anti-furry [[trolls]], Grey entered the action without even noticing; he posted up a video reply to one troll and was soon inundated with comments. More videos followed and a small following gathered around. Soon he was directly challenging trolls and teased them to fight him so he could "defuse you like the time bomb of stupidity you are." In August 2007 he announced he left the war for lack of any good arguments being made against him.

=== As the Furry Guru ===
Mere days after the end of the ''YouTube Furry War'' series a new series began named ''Furry Guru'', in which Grey answered questions from people both in and outside of the fandom. This series has been endorsed by a number of "celebrity" furries including [[Silentwulf]] and [[2 Gryphon]]. It is also credited for creating a number of new furries, notably [[Tamias]], a long-term furry spectator. This series ended in March 2008, due to personal commitments.

In 2008, EvilSquirrel commissioned [[Joecifur]] of B3Mascots to create a partial fursuit of his squirrel fursona. EvilSquirrel's fursuit made its debut at the September 2009 Manchester mini meet<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/462182/ Fur Affinity journal] Accessed April 13th, 2009</ref>, whilst his first fursuit walk at a main NorthernFur meet happened that same month in Liverpool<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/477074/ Fur Affinity journal] Accessed April 13th, 2009</ref>. Since then his partial has made a regular appearance at Manchester, often captured on camera partaking in silly antics such as humping a tree<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2106375/ Fur Affinity photo] Accessed April 13th, 2009</ref> and being caught getting carried away whilst a television crew were filming a charity piece with UK children presenters [[Wikipedia:Dick and Dom|Dick and Dom]] for [[Wikipedia:Red Nose Day|Red Nose Day]]<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/620625/ Fur Affinity journal] Accessed April 13th, 2009</ref>.

== Interests ==
EvilSquirrel enjoys creating furry artwork both hand sketched and on the computer with his Wacom graphics tablet. The squirrel's artwork style consists heavily of blending, burning and dodging colours, which are observable when he creates body muscle tone. Music wise he enjoys listening to heavy rock and metal tunes as well as playing them on Rock Band for his Xbox 360.

== Convention ==
[[RBW 2008]] was the first convention attended by EvilSquirrel, spending time fursuiting and sharing a dealer's den table with [[Little Wolf]] selling artwork pieces he had specially prepared in the months leading up. He has a ticket for [[ConFuzzled 2009]].

'''The Thursday Night Hard Drive''' is an alternative music show hosted by [[Miyabi]] and [[Kittiah]]. The show aims to expose its listeners to a selection of new and potentially undiscovered music interspersed with light-hearted banter and discussion. The show occasionally has guests in the studio where they operate a '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Island_Discs Desert Island Discs]' style format.

The show is live every Thursday night from 8pm until midnight and has a popular IRC channel on [[FurNet (IRC)|Furnet]], #harddrive.

==History==
The show and its theme were thought up a few days before the first broadcast; [[Miyabi]] having cited a desire to return to producing radio to [[Kittiah]], who provided ideas and encouragement to get the show off the ground.

'''The Hard Drive''' first broadcast on the 28th February, 2008<ref>[http://harddrive.fm Thursday Night Hard Drive], the show's website. Retrieved March 20th, 2008.</ref>.

As of show 15, The Hard Drive began broadcasting a live video stream simultaneously with the broadcast of the shoutcast audio stream. The video is broadcast using the Mogulus network. From show 16, the shows are also archived for on demand play via the Harddrive Mogulus player<ref>[http://harddrive.fm/livetv Thursday Night Hard Drive Live TV], the show's website. Retrieved June 15th, 2008.</ref>.

==Format==
All episodes of the show begin with a 5 minute long musical countdown segment. It is frequently changed and themed with various film, television and popular culture references.

The show began life in a 3 hour format but after several weeks of running over due to popular demand, the broadcast hours were extended to the current 8pm till Midnight slot.

While the show does not take direct song requests, there is an infrequently recurring 'Incoming' segment where the best listener-supplied music gets played.

==Production==
Since the initial broadcast there have been significant improvements to the production quality. Notable improvements include a MIDI control surface for queuing/playing tracks, the addition of compression and noisegating to the microphones and a redesigned website with chatbox functionality. Most recently the show has begun live video streaming with 128kbps audio.

The show is also available for later download as a podcast either direct from the website<ref>[http://harddrive.fm/shows Show History]. Retrieved June 9, 2008</ref> or through the iTunes Podcast Directory<ref>[http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=275357712 iTunes Podcast Directory Entry].

Tryst

2009-03-24T22:31:04Z

Stuart Otterson: add category

[[Image:tryst_conbadge.jpg|thumb|right]]
'''Tryst''' (real name '''Robert Barnes'''; born October 23rd, 1986, in [[Wikipedia:Swansea|Swansea]], [[Wikipedia:Wales|Wales]]) is a [[furry]] and creator of [[fursuit]] items.

Tryst is a university student at the [[Wikipedia:University of Surrey|University of Surrey]], in [[Wikipedia:Guildford|Guildford]], [[Wikipedia:England|England]] where he studies satellite engineering. He grew up in Swansea before moving to Guildford in 2004 and discovering furry shortly thereafter via live action roleplay (LARP).

Tryst's [[fursona]] takes the form of an [[anthropomorphic]] domestic [[cat]], roughly six feet tall and darkly coloured. His markings are plain, although it is obvious that this feline has seen a lot of outdoor life. His fur is scruffy and he has a nick out of one ear. Despite his rough exterior, his eyes are clear, green and hint of secret knowledge.

His long term partner is [[Beanie]].

== Names and Aliases ==
The name Tryst, although frequently eluded to refer to the old English for a secret meeting, is in fact merely short for '''[[Wikipedia:Trystan|Trystan]] Fel Cath''' - a self-fashioned Welsh name, the latter part of which means literally 'cat like'.

In addition to this, he regularly uses the alias '''Barnzi''', which is a corruption of his [[real life]] surname.

== Meet Attendance ==
Although he had been known to attend furmeets in [[Wikipedia:Cardiff|Cardiff]] and [[Wikipedia:Bristol|Bristol]] when he used to live in Wales, Tryst can be most frequently found attending the [[London Furs]] meets. He is normally located somewhere between an empty pint glass and the bar.

For a brief period, he tried to offer his services as a group liaison and handed out many business cards. However, this became unmanageable due to the rapidly increasing size of the group. He still, however, remains a good group contact that has a fair chance of being on speaking terms with everyone.

[[Image:Conifur 2005 Sammy Samoyed.JPG|right|thumb|'''Sammy Samoyed''' at [[Conifur 2005]]]]'''Damon Canine''' (also known as '''Jenna Vixen''' and '''Damon Blackpaw''') is a male [[furry]] and [[fursuiter]] and tries to attend at least two conventions a year. He was born and raised in the United States, but now lives in Leeds, United Kingdom with [[Graafen Blackpaw]].

== Fursonas ==
Damon Canine is a small-framed, yet muscular, male fox. His fur is mostly gray, however he has a prominent white patch that runs from the bottom of his [[muzzle]], down the front of his neck and his body, down to his crotch. His arms and legs feature the typical black fox "boots" with the addition of a red stripe, his [[tail]] and [[ears]] are half black with a similar stripe.

Jenna Vixen has similar coloration to Damon, the main visual difference being, obviously, that she is female.

Damon Blackpaw is a muscular, but thin, male white werewolf with a black paw tattooed on his chest.

== Fursuiting ==
Damon owns three completed [[fursuit]]s, though only two of them are seen at conventions these days.

'''Damon Canine''' was a partial fursuit. The head was made by [[Latin Vixen]], and he made the paws and tail himself. It was seen at [[AnthroCon]] and [[Conifur Northwest]] in 2004, but is now retired.

'''Sammy Samoyed''' was originally owned by Latin Vixen but was purchased by Damon from her in late 2004. His head was made by [[Ryngs Raccoon]], the hand paws by [[Jax]] and everything else by Latin Vixen.

'''Jenna Vixen''' debuted at [[Further Confusion]] 2006. She is a sexy gray vixen and is known to be somewhat shy but is also silly and playful.

== Conventions ==
Damon attended [[Anthrocon]] 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005; [[Califur]] 2004; [[Conifur Northwest]] 2003, 2004, and 2005; [[EuroFurence]] 2008; [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] 2006; [[Further Confusion]] 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008; [[Megaplex]] 2006; and [[Gathering of the Gargoyles]] 2001 and 2003.

Eeve3

Stuart Otterson: add category

'''Eeve3''' is a [[UKFur]] who spends half of her time in the north of the United Kingdom , and the other half down south, studying for a degree in illustration. It took her a while to jump fully into the [[furry fandom]] once discovering it, but after hanging around the [[HantsFurs]] she finally settled in.

== Fursona ==

The name started off loosely based from the [[Wikipedia:Pokemon|Pokémon]], adopted as a handle to use as a request artist (those days long since gone). The actual character has since evolved into a generic cat-thing, as seen in her [[FurAffinity]] gallery.

== TigerTails Radio ==

Eeve3 started making herself known in the greater furry community via the UKFur forum, and the [[Wikipedia:Internet radio show|Internet radio show]] [[TigerTails Radio]]. She joined the cast and crew on show 19 of season 3 (hating the sound of her own voice when she listened to the archive), and soon became a regular cast member.

Being the token [[female]], Eeve3 has had the odd reference to her [[Breast|boobs]] mentioned on the show — and has frequently offered to display them to the web cams... for the appropriate fee, of course.

== Games and Recreation ==

While Eeve3 isn't known for her gaming, she does play a wide selection of games. When in the arcades she will play the European releases of [[Wikipedia:Dance Dance Revolution|Dance Dance Revolution]] (Dancing Stage), as well as [[Wikipedia:Soul Calibur 2|Soul Calibur 2]], and sometimes even [[Wikipedia:Sega|Sega]]'s [[Wikipedia:The House Of The Dead|The House Of The Dead]].

Her laptop contains a large [[Wikipedia:Stepmania|Stepmania]] build, and [[Wikipedia:Touhou|Touhou]] (a scrolling shooter), which she plays while shirking off and avoiding her homework.

Though infrequent, she also enjoys indulging in a spot of [[Wikipedia:Powerbocking|Powerbocking]], with good intentions to be able to do more than walk. Possibly involving fursuit building.

TigerTails Radio

2009-03-24T22:17:45Z

Stuart Otterson:

[[Image:TigertailsRadioLogo.png|right|200px|TigerTails Radio]]
'''TigerTails Radio''' is a [[furry]] [[Wikipedia:Internet radio|Internet radio]] show based in the United Kingdom, started by [[TK Tiger]] in mid-2004. It streams every Monday night on [[BritFur FM]] and a server provided by [[Mhisani]].

In its first season, one three-hour show was broadcast for every day of the year. The show has changed format numerous times, and has raised over £1000 for UK children's charity [[Wikipedia:Comic Relief|Comic Relief]].

* '''Address''': http://www.tigertailsradio.co.uk/
* '''Founder''': [[TK Tiger]]
* '''Ran from/to''': 20 July 2004 - present

== Season One ==

TigerTails Radio was started because TK Tiger felt that most Internet radio was rubbish, as all the stations he found were [[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] playlists with no one presenting the show. Teaming up with [[Blaster Hedgie]], TK decided to "put the voice" back in to Internet radio by running a furry radio station for an entire year. The first airdate was 20 July 2004.

For the first few broadcasts, TigerTails Radio was just talk radio, but MP3s soon found their way into the show as TK purchased more equipment. By the end of Season One, the show was running two feeds: one in mono for dial-up users, and a second in stereo for those on broadband.

Season One aired for three hours, every night of the week. When neither TK nor BH hosted the show, a reserve co-host was drafted in to cover. Replacement hosts included other UK furs [[Lazerus101]], [[Tungro]], [[SouthPaw]], and [[Goten]].

After 365 shows, TigerTails Radio celebrated its first birthday, and was killed off by TK, as it had achieved his goal of airing every single day since its creation.

=== ShepFact ===

During Season One, TK decided it was a good idea to have content supplied by the listeners. One listener was a fountain of knowledge who had just appeared on the Furry scene named [[Shep Shepherd]]. Every day Shep would supply the show with a fact, which either host would read out during the ShepFact music (a 50 second version of the ''[[Wikipedia:Blue Peter|Blue Peter]]'' theme). Shep would then put the fact in his [[LiveJournal]], and TK would update the TigerTails Radio website. When Shep was in the studio, he often prepared extra special ShepFacts for the show. To this day, Shep continues to post a daily ShepFact to his journal.

=== Memorable shows ===
==== The 80's Disco Night ====

The most memorable show from Season One was the 80's Disco. This is the only show the cast have a full archive of. The show ran for eight hours, 9PM until 5AM UK time. The main show was the normal three hours, but it was bookended by non-stop 80's music. The studio was turned into a dance-floor, complete with food, drinks, disco lights, and a mirror ball. A large number of guests turned up for the show, though few lasted the whole eight hours. A non-furry friend of [[Blaster Hedgie]] archived the show and posted it to the studio.

==== Karaoke Night ====

To celebrate the changing of the year from 2004 to 2005, TigerTails Radio held a [[Wikipedia:karaoke|karaoke]] night. Music was provided by the studio's [[Wikipedia:PS2|PS2]] and various editions of the game ''[[Wikipedia:SingStar|SingStar]]''. A large number of gusts came to see the new year in, and many took part in the singing. Notable performances included [[Klepsydra]] singing "Ace Of Spades", [[Leinir]] performing "Ain't No Sunshine", and TK's version of "Affirmation" - which he hated, but a few listeners enjoyed enough to ask him to repeat the song. He refused, and it became a running gag to ask TK to sing Affirmation. Klepsydra's "Ace Of Spades" was voted the best song of the night.

==== The Waffle Night ====

Near the end of Season One, a visit to the studio by Lazerus101 inspired the cast to relive the old talk radio style of show. The conversation was fast and flowing, to the point where the entire show had passed without anyone remembering to play any music. Only one listener complained about this, while others wrote in to say how much they had enjoyed the show.

==== TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 1 ====

12 March 2005 was the night of the UK childrens' charity [[Wikipedia:Comic Relief|Comic Relief]] (also known as "Red Nose Day".) TK decided it would be a good idea to raise money for this good cause by throwing 8 litres (US: [[Wikipedia:Liter|liter]]) of [[Wikipedia:BBC|BBC]] [[Wikipedia:gunge|gunge]] over the regular cast members. TK Tiger press-ganged [[Bungle BearSkunk]], Blaster Hedgie, and Lazerus101 into taking part as victims. Guests in the studio could donate money to pour the bucket of gunge over the cast member sat in "the hot seat" - which was a very cold seat as the gungings took place outside on a cold spring night.

[[Dark Lordess]] poured a bucket of orange gunge over TK first. An hour later Lazerus101 dumped 8 litres of blue gunge over BH. Another hour followed before TK got to be on the pouring end of the bucket, as he covered Bungle in a second blue bucket. Finally at around 1:30am, Laz received a bucket of orange gunge from [[TimmyPup]], who had donated £100 via the TigerTails Radio's portion of the Comic Relief website, kindly setup by SouthPaw. The show raised £301 in total.

==== The Final Show ====

TigerTails Radio celebrated its first birthday on 20 July 2005. During this show, TK made the announcement that this would be the last TigerTails Radio broadcast for Season One. The show turned in to a party, with people remembering their favorite shows, or sections from the show. After the show ended, the cast (chiefly TK, Blaster Hedgie and Shep Shepherd) waited a few moments before broadcasting an extra section for another hour of random fun. The show finally ended for real with TK reprising his karaoke night performance of "Affirmation".

== Pup Music Radio ==

'''Pup Music''' was a radio project to carry on where TigerTails Radio left off. A group of TigerTails Radio listeners, lead by [[Goten]], came together and created their own show. Pup Music later became [[Furocious Radio]], the show for [[Furocious Entertainment]] - the [[Manchester Northern Furmeet]] site.

== Season Two ==

Over half a year after TigerTails Radio was pulled off the air, Blaster Hedgie asked TK Tiger if he fancied restarting the radio show. TK agreed, and got to work preparing everything for Season Two of TigerTails Radio. This time the show would not be aired every night, but only when both TK and BH had the time to spare. This created a sporadic show schedule, so TK decided to archive each show and offer them for download for those who missed an episode.

=== Technical issues ===

Season Two aired 36 shows. The last show was the second Comic Relief Gunge show. Many technical problems stopped Season 2 from reaching its target of 100 shows, with two hard disk failures in the broadcast machine, the loss of the show archive server, amp and mixer problems, and the loss of the broadcast server.

=== Memorable shows ===
==== Show #0 ====

22nd of February 2006 was the date of the pilot show, numbered show #0. It wasn't a true show, but a live dry-run to test the new equipment. It got a good number of listeners, even without advertising. The show ran for the full three hours, and featured [[Silver Tomcat]] live via [[Wikipedia:Skype|Skype]], a new feature.

==== TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 2 ====

After raising over £300 in 2005, everyone involved thought it would be a good idea to try and raise the same amount, if not more, when Comic Relief 2007 rolled around. Three months of planning came together on 16 March 2007, when the second Gunge-a-thon took place. Ten furs, including the four victims from last time, took part - each getting a bucket of BBC gunge and a second bucket of something else.

The BBC gunge was poured by a friend of TK from the world of theatre. Like before, those in the studio could donate to pour a second bucket over the victim. A few victims' second bucket had been decided before the event thanks to online donations. These included [[Jowgenetsu]]'s gunging with porridge at the hands of [[Wikipedia:Lord Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]] as Jowgenetsu looked like [[Wikipedia:Harry Potter|Harry Potter]].

Furs gunged were [[Lazerus101]], [[SouthPaw]], Jowgenetsu, [[Xell]], [[Tungro]], Bungle BearSkunk, WolfPaw, Tryst, Blaster Hedgie, and finally [[TK Tiger]].

The night raised £700 for Comic Relief, more than double the 2005 effort, and £200 more than the night's target of £500.

== Season Three ==

Season Three of TigerTails Radio began airing on 17 September 2007, starting with another Show #0. It didn't go smoothly and a few problems were discovered and ironed out. The studio lost its Internet connection on the date Show #1 was due to air due to a change in ISP. Show #0.5 aired on Monday 19 November, using the studio's brand new (and much faster) Internet connection. This test show went without major incident, and [[Sacred]] was even able to call in to the studio via Skype without the technical difficulties previously involved.

A problem with spyware caused a big headache for TK shortly before Show #5 was due to air, as it killed the broadcast machine. Show #5 was not only Season 3's first Theme Night (TV Theme Tunes in this case), but it was also the Christmas Eve/Day show. A hasty install of XP (on a failing hard disk) failed to resolve the problem, forcing TK to reinstate an old piece of show equipment replaced after Season 1. Blaster Hedgie's laptop had been used to provide the music for the show but was replaced by the Skype PC in Season Two and vinyl records in Season Three. It served as a broadcast machine until TK fixed the normal broadcast computer.

While a schedule of airing dates was be listed on the front page of the TigerTails Radio website, the cast tried to air a show every Monday if possible. It was agreed that a regular air-date would help the show gain repeat listeners, while extra shows could be added mid-week if needed. TigerTails Radio 24 (see TTR24 below) saw listeners in to 2008 instead of a regular show, with Season Three restarted on Monday 7 January.

Show #14 was the first show to take advantage of the [[BritFur FM]] server, allowing TigerTails Radio to broadcast in stereo for the first time since late Season One. The BritFur stream was broadcast in 128kbps stereo, whereas [[Pridelands]] was still broadcast in 56kbps mono. As of Show #16, the show archive is recorded in stereo.

Show #22 was the first show to introduce a musical underscore to each show, and also a change in format (see Memorable Show #22). This format was maintained until Show #29.

On the morning of Show #29, six days before the show's fourth birthday, long-standing co-host BH decided to stand down from TigerTails Radio. His LiveJournal post on the matter lists his work schedule as one reason for deciding to quit, as well as feeling that he was no longer up to the task of being entertaining. BH had failed to appear on every show since Show #25, so his announcement was no surprise. His departure saw TK take the show back to its pirate roots for a while while a new co-host was sourced.

After a period of time, regular guest [[Eeve3]] became the new co-host, while another member of TK's household, Xavier, became the new regular guest. Records were replaced by MP3s again after the motor in the record player became unreliable, and the show never returned to the musical-underscore format of the PSP days. After Show #43, plans to end Season Three at Show #52 were decided, with TTR24 taking over the slot until a good working arrangement for Season Four could be decided upon.

=== Memorable shows ===

==== Show #17 ====
Dubbed the EPIC SHOW OF POWER by Dante the Jedi in the #tigertailsradio AnthroChat IRC channel, Show #17 was a small celebration of Easter 2008 that quickly got out of hand. [[Southpaw]] visited the studio for the first time in Season 3, Hedgie actually got something right for a change, and the show Blankety Blank actually ran like the TV show for the first time since the team started doing it. After the show ended, TK decided to broadcast a little extra music to scare the people still connected in to going to bed.

TK played "classic" old records like Mr Blobby, Rupert The Bear, The Addams Groove, and a collection of [[Wikipedia:Black Lace|Black Lace]] songs. Eventually, he resorted to letting Hedgie sing on the show, even digging out Affirmation (not seen since the end of Season One). Listeners were then invited to message the studio to show they were still listening. Responding listeners were (in no order): [[Kyyanno]], [[Mhisani]], [[CW Tyger]], [[Dante the Jedi]], [[Split Persona]] and [[Owl]], though server stats at the time reported nine users connected to the streams. Finally, after an extra two hours, TK called it a night and ended the broadcast for real, ending after a second round of the National Anthem (played at the end of every show since Season One Show #1) and a firm instruction of "Go To Bed", followed by a brief message announcing there will be "No Extra Part 2". Finally, the connections to Pridelands and BritFur were disconnected.

The archive (in the original .ogg format) was 148MB in size, compared to the show's normal archive size of around 90MB.

==== Show #22 ====
Nicknamed the Dead Show in a LiveJournal post by TK before the show aired, this was the first show of Season Three to run without any copyrighted music. It was also the first show ever to have backing music for the entire show. The new format came thanks to technical failures in two of the show's fleet of PCs (taking three hard-disks with them). The show was a very basic affair, with the opening jingle and the entire night's backing music being supplied by TK's PlayStation Portable. There was no Skype or messengers running, and IRC was op-less as the secondary IRC machine was the only IRC PC running. The show ended with TK playing the National Anthem live using BH's Keytar, as the .ogg version normally played wasn't converted and put on the PSP in time.

This show was three hours of talking, much like the Waffle Night of Season One. Though constant buffering problems kept the listener count down, those who did battle through the skipping gave enough positive feedback to convince TK to keep the format and turn TigerTails Radio in to BritFur FM's first Talk Show, which also meant that TigerTails Radio was no longer a pirate radio show.

[[Mustan]] provided the Blankety Blank questions for the night, which was won by TK (winning 50 blanks).

==== Show #41 ====
Also known as "The Drunk Show!", in which TigerTails Radio took a somewhat more alcohol-fueled look at the world for one night only, sponsored by [[Dante the Jedi]]. Having work in the morning, TK was drinking Tiger Beer (so he wouldn't get too drunk), Eeve3 was on vodka-based drinks, the teetotal Jowgenetsu was on Coke, while guests Lazerus, FoxieDragon and Draconder were drinking vodka, pear cider and beer respectively.

The evening ended with Eeve3 being more drunk than she had ever been in her life, and a rather merry FoxieDragon being escorted home by Lazerus and Jowgenetsu. Eeve3 woke up still drunk; after suffering her hangover she vowed never to drink that much again, ever!

=== Theme nights ===

While Season One had a theme night every Saturday, the idea was ditched for Season Two. Season Three saw the return of the theme night idea. The original plan was to have a theme night every fifth show, but that ultimately did not happen. So far, the theme nights have been:
* Show #05 - TV Themes
* Show #10 - Novelty Singles
* Show #15 - Video Games
* Show #20 - Movies and Musicals
* Show #28 - Experimental Music
* Show #32 - The Music of Michael Jackson

== Pre-Season Four ==

TTR24 lasted until January 2009, whereupon a series of Pre-Season Four shows began. A new mixer and a condenser microphone had been obtained over the Christmas period, and TK was keen to play with his new toys. Using a mic stand stolen from BH's copy of [[Wikipedia:Rock_Band_(video_game)|Rock Band]] and a good number of cable ties, TK managed to rig up a system where three microphones could be used, with a fourth mic hanging from TK's headphone cable. With the microphones no longer on the table, laptops could be brought in, and IRC corner was moved from afar to the centre of the action.

A new phono to USB adapter had also been obtained, allowing the show to be broadcast on one PC via USB (eliminating Sound Card Hiss) while a PC connected to the phono output could archive everything. An old PC was found, and the archiving software installed. The USB audio input, however, caused one of the show's webcams to fail (due to driver conflicts) resulting in the show only having a single webcam where there had been two in Season Three.

Finally, thanks to the new mixer having a cross-fader, TK's PSP could make a come-back with the backing music. The laptop formally belonging to BH was once again used to supply the normal music. It was also used to let TK play in IRC. The backing music was again Creative Commons, and mostly sourced from the artist Sanxion7.

9 Pre-Season Four shows ran, with Show #9 being the first to reintroduce Skype on a dedicated PC since the trial runs of Season Three. Show #9 was also the first show to introduce a second new mixer which allowed for increased volumes on the microphones (a problem plaguing the other Pre-Season Four shows), more sound effects, and the allowance for more things to be plugged in. Another mixer was rescued from the Season Three left-overs and used for the Skype PC. Fellow BritFur broadcaster [[Stuart Otterson]] joined the final Pre-Season Four show via Skype, winning the call-in game of "Twenty Questions" on his final chance.

== Season Four ==

Season Four started on March 16 2009. The show still uses [[Wikipedia:Shoutcast|Shoutcast]], and will support [[Wikipedia:podcasting|podcasting]]. The first podcast went live in late February, and was a segment of Pre-Season Four show #6. The segment was a trial run of a feature named That Time of the Month; a topical (and amusing) news quiz designed to give BH an excuse to come out retirement once a month. That Time of the Month will be done on the last show of each month, with the cast reviewing the month's news.

The Pre-Season Four shows helped the cast bash out a rough schedule for each show. The first 30 minutes is spent with the opening song, and the cast talking about their week, as well as any important news that may have affected them. The second half of the first hour is spent reviewing things, and updates on the Xavier Retro Gaming Challenge (another new segment for Season Four). The last hour is mostly chatting with IRC, playing music, Skype games, and if it's the last show of the month then That Time of the Month is played.

Future plans for Season Four include the TigerTails Radio Comic Relief Gunge-a-thon 3, which has been put-back due to the economic downturn. This is now due to take place during the summer months.

The first update of the Yahoo360 blog in 2009 revealed the first show of Season Four was Show #472, counting all full shows since the very first show of Season One on July 20 2004. On Monday 20 July 2009, TigerTails Radio will hit Show #490, and become 5 years old.

== TTR24 ==

TigerTails Radio 24 (TTR24 for short) is a playlist set up for times when TigerTails Radio would normally be off-air, or for when a main show can't appear as scheduled. TTR24 often takes over during Christmas and New Years, and can run for many days non-stop. Season Three Show #28 saw TTR24 precede TigerTails Radio's live show for the first time, something which continued until the end of the season. TTR24 then took over for a few weeks before Season Four began in March 2009.

In times when the main TigerTails Radio show can not be broadcast, TTR24 is broadcast on all regular show servers. All other times, TTR24 is exclusive to the Pridelands server.

Stuart Otterson: add category

[[Image:Laz_by_Muzz.jpg|right|thumb||Lazerus dressed casually. Art by [[Muzz]].]]
'''Lazerus101''' (born November 1981, in [[Wikipedia:London|London, England]]) is a 6'2" tall slate-grey [[anthropomorphic]] [[hare]]. He now resides in [[Wikipedia:Southampton|Southampton, England]] and is an active member of the [[Hantsfurs]] group.
He is also an off and on member of the [[TigerTails Radio]] team and has been known to co-host the show as well as take part in charity events.

==Interests==
Enjoys most kinds of music, movies and videogames. He is an artist of moderate ability, though he hopes that he is improving himself somewhat in that area.
Lazerus is a member of the inflation and fatfurs subsets of the furry community.

Lazerus is best when blown up, over-fed, or enlarged to titanic sizes. Everyone should keep the bunny well fed, and this increase in the volume of bunny will be a more regular thing.

Lazerus is also loved and cherished by his many friends from Furcadia's Strip bar "The Pink Pussy Club."
