Honey Badger Radio

Honey Badger Radio refers to the YouTube channels HoneyBadgerRadio and Badger Live Streams. They are hosted by a group of Honey Badgers and supporters in the Honey Badger Brigade and they regularly do discussions about news items and other topics. Each Badger has their own avatar which is normally (but not always) seen on screen whenever that person is live. Some members of the Honey Badger team appear on the channels more frequently than others.

Sub-shows

Honey Badger Radio features many different kinds of series of live streams of different styles and focuses.

Breaking Badger News

Breaking Badger News are shows about recent news. These segments are typically rather short (eg. about half an hour), though there have been exceptions. These are typically made by Brian Martinez and one other Badger.

Brian's Badger Lodge

As the name suggests, Brian's Badger Lodge shows are hosted by Brian. Brian's Badger Lodge is described as "a show where men can communicate freely, exchange ideas and form bonds with other men."

Fireside Chat

Fireside Chat shows are shows that feature Brian with a guest.

HBR Debate

HBR Debate shows are Brian and Alison Tieman commenting on media items or news stories. In these shows, Brian and Alison typically have their camera on and their avatars may be smaller than normal or not shown at all.

HBR News

HBR News are commentary of news items. Brian Martinez describes them as shows where the Badgers "reflect on the stories of the week and give it the badger treatment."

HBR Talk

HBR Talks are frequent shows that start with an opening video that is usually made by Hannah Wallen. These discussions feature a wide range of Badgers.

Men's Mental Health

Men's Mental Health shows feature Prim Reaper and often start with an opening monologue made by her.

Rantzerker

Rantzerkers are responses to media items made by others. These segments are long, usually over two hours. Alison and Brian are normally present in these.

Relationship Advice for Men

In mid-June 2021, Alison and Brian started a new show described as one where they "will take a look at websites, blogs and videos where advice is given to men on how they can better their lives, health, relationships and futures."

Badgers

Brian Martinez

Brian Martinez is a Latino man from the United States and a frequent host on Badger Live Streams. He has roots in Chicago. He is usually present when the Badgers have a non-Badger guest on their show (e.g. here, here and here). He also hosts the Brian's Badger Lodge. Brian's avatar is a bear-looking character with a skin consisting of light beige and a similar darker colour (gold/dark yellow).

Alison Tieman

Alison Tieman is a Canadian MRA and the founder of Honey Badger Radio. She appears frequently on the channels. Her avatar is a dark-red-skinned character with a headcover with antlers coming out of it which has long nails, showing the backside of her forefinger (which is basically only a nail).

Karen Straughan

Karen Straughan is a Canadian anti-feminist who is heard on the Badger Live Streams channel moderately often. Her avatar is an angry-looking dog-like character with mostly dark brown skin, a sleeveless light greyish-blue shirt, a thin cigarette in her mouth and a green bottle in her hand.

Max Derrat

Max Derrat is a YouTuber on the autism spectrum who used to be a frequent speaker on Honey Badger Radio. He was frequently on the show in 2017, and made appearances in 2018 as well, such as this one. His avatar is a yellow-skinned Simpsons-like character.

Hannah Wallen

Hannah Wallen is a frequent content creator on the Honey Badger channels. She often does openers for the streams called "HBR talk with Hannah Wallen" which are monologues commenting on a recent event or a men's issue. Monologues made by Hannah and sometimes by others, such as Prim Reaper, are also often shown at the beginning of the live streams related to the monologue's topic. Hannah sometimes does HBR Talk episodes with Alison. In both "HBR talk with Hannah Wallen" openers and the HBR talks with Alison she uses an avatar with red skin and a piece of paper which reads "PRESS" fastened on her hat (Alison usually does not use an avatar in these instances, this being an exception). This avatar can even move her mouth. On livestream shows the avatar has the same piece of paper in her hat but a reddish-brown skin.

Prim Reaper

The Prim Reaper is a Canadian-born YouTuber who is heard on the Honey Badger channels moderately often. She is exceptionally often heard in episodes titled Men's Mental Health. Her avatar is a purple-caped grim reaper like character with a black face and red eyes.

Anna Cherry

Anna Cherry is a YouTuber and a neuropsychology graduate who has sometimes been heard on the Honey Badger show. Her avatar is a character with mostly red skin (her ear and a part of her face being white), no shirt but a bra with shiny dark yellow edges. She appeared e.g. on this autism-related stream.

Deborah Powney

Deborah Powney is a PhD psychology researcher whose specialization is on domestic violence. She occasionally joins the Badgers in the show and her avatar is a woman with purple hair and glasses.
