Friday Apr 13, 2018
Friday Apr 13, 2018

We try out live Youtube streams for the first time going forward. We also play hypotheticals with some novel ideas and wonder what it's like if they turned furry.
Topics for this episode include:
The Texas Furry Fiesta 2018 Experience, as retold by Nio. Here, he shares what happened in his attendance there.
Which TV shows would make for good entertainment if reimagined as a furry version?
The current state of the comics industry and the direction it's heading in.
Internet Bloodsports, the hot new debate style sloating around Youtube. Maybe we could bring the furry community to it as a way of settling out drama while being entertained.

RR Ep 4 - No to Political Correctness!
Friday Apr 13, 2018
Friday Apr 13, 2018
Originally aired on February 10, 2018
In this episode, we debut our intro song and our group website. Our topics this time are centered around the theme of political correctness going too far both inside and outside of furry.
Topics for this episode include:
Furnal Equinox 2018 cancels FirestormSix's DJ set, prompting him to not attend this year. The con scraps the fursuit parade. Is this a case of cultural appropriation too far? And is the justification of the parade being scrapped fair because it's a logistics nightmare?
We make fun of Leafland... err, Canada, where they changed the national anthem to something gender neutral. The Furry Raiders can throw in a few improvements, much better than the Canadian Government ever could. Plus more ribbing due to Canada's messed up prisons
We discuss whether redesigning childhood favourite furry cartoons such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is such a good idea.
Some drama happening because of the sexuality of certain Harry Potter characters and Rowling having a few hiccups about it.

RR Ep 1 - Furry Fandom Divided
Friday Apr 13, 2018
Friday Apr 13, 2018
Originally aired on October 4, 2017
Before the Raiders podcast formally started, we figured we would have a casual discussion within our group that would be recorded. In this episode, we have a discussion about what is dividing the furry fandom. Is it politics? Is it something else? And who exactly is causing the divide in the fandom?
