What we’re about
It's like a book club but for podcasts! We meet monthly at local restaurants to discuss this month's playlist, which is 5-7 episodes curated around a theme. See our events for upcoming meetings!
What to expect:
1.- Before the meeting, find time to listen to the playlist.
2.- At the meeting, there will be a sign that makes it easy to find us. Come by yourself or with friends, and be ready to have a discussion! First-timers and add-ons are encouraged to attend, as are folks we haven't seen in a while.
3.- We always make time to share our current faves, so be prepared to go home with a list of must-listens.
4.- The best way to stay informed is through our mailing list. Sign up here: https://podcastbrunchclub.com/boston/
Happy Listening
If you can't get to the playlist, you are absolutely still invited and encouraged to attend our events. There is always something to talk about!

#### About the Show
It’s early December 2014, and at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, an unusual gathering is taking place. It’s the final night of Midwest Furfest, the world’s largest convention for a subculture known as Furries.
The party is in full swing when, just after midnight, attendees suddenly find themselves struggling to breathe. Something terrible has happened: poisonous levels of chlorine gas are sweeping through the hotel corridors.
Nineteen people are hospitalized and hundreds are evacuated into the freezing cold, many still wearing their colorful anthropomorphic animal costumes, or fursuits. Hazmat teams trace the gas to a stairwell, where they find the remains of a chemical bomb. This was an intentional attack.
But almost a decade later, the identity of the perpetrator remains a mystery. In Fur & Loathing, investigative reporter Nicky Woolf takes on the unsolved case, working closely with Furries to find answers. It’s a journey that will bring him face-to-face with the challenges this vibrant, often misunderstood subculture faces – including the far-right extremists looking to wreck the community from within.
