Hey guys I love your podcast. I just started listening to it a couple months ago and am now catching up on past episodes. I just wanted to comment on the “bear” community. I was late coming out, I was 32, living in Seattle. I knew I loved hairy men from the time I was younger, yes Merlin Olsen was hot. I picked up a copy of the gay news and read up about the local bear group and that sounded like what I was interested in. Long story short, I know too late, the bear community was a great way for me to come out. They were very accepting, mostly because I was new meat, but I had a really good feeling about the group. That being said I know how society works and we never get away from the whole “grouping” social aspect. I like that the bears were accepting and maybe they have evolved into something a little off the original ideals that started it. The older I have gotten the more I realize with anything I just take what is useful to me and leave the rest. So I look at the bear community for what it is, social networking, lots of eye candy, and just a chance to be around what really turns me on. Thank you for listening to my rant.
On a side note bad breath is a deal breaker. lol I love to kiss.
Hey 619 bears! Hope you’re doing well.
Art Dominguez here, a call center agent / freelance writer from the Philippines. I’m a fairly new listener who discovered the podcast through Nard’s Bearpodcast and Btalk.
I just want to commend you guys for great, thought-provoking (and sometimes hilariously banal or totally off-the-hinge) topics every episode and good anecdotes– overall, an awesome podcast listening experience since I started downloading your show late last year. You just never failed to make me think and laugh out loud within every show and I thank you deeply for that. You’ve helped me through every sickeningly mundane week at work here in bear-less Pasig City, Philippines. Although I have to admit the past few months’ episode schedule irregularity saddens me.
And as I mentioned Btalk, just when is Shannon making his self-redeeming return on the show? The first time he came on he had the personality of a cast iron skillet. This was obviously the complete opposite of his Btalk incarnation.
Also,I think JP’s the hottest and I’ve had a crush on the guys since I started listening. Don’t get me wrong, all the 619 Bearcast hosts are teh hotness, but there’s something about JP that’s gotten me genuinely swooning. And not to sound online stalker-esque, but I’ve spent many afternoons staring at his Flickr page admiring his handsome face and perfectly shaped beard. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time he’s been complimented. And can’t help but feel warm inside every time I see a picture where his lips are curved into a smile.
The only problem is that on the podcast, I still can’t tell the difference between JP and Vito. Their voices sound the same.
Anyway, this has been a pretty too long a letter. Kudos on your great podcast!
