Bear Soup #71

Bear Soup, with Ron Suresha, streams online Monday, May 3rd, at 10:00pm Eastern & Pacific on BearRadio.net. Repeats Wednesday, same times. In this 71st edition of Bear Soup:

  • Bears on Bears noted in 100% Beef column by Chris Wittke
  • My take on bear community reaction to a new song by Stevo Harris, “I Just Want the One”
  • Announcement of LitBEARary events with Lammy-winning bear author Jeff Mann
  • Three bawdy Turkish jokes, and the usual ursine audio har-dee-har.

All the news, shmooze, views, and skews you can use for the online ursine community — diced, spiced, and cooked up for another bubbling and dee-lish deep dish serving of BEAR SOUP!

Bear Soup is sponsored by the bookish bears at Bear Bones Books
