Jump to navigation Jump to search

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 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."[1]

Doge and Aydin Show

Fireside Chat

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

HBR Fundraiser Stream

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."[2]

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.

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.

TL;DR

Natty Kadifa

Natty Kadifa[18] is a Badger who appeared on the show with a special avatar that time when the Badgers did a shoutout for Wiki4Men. In that show Natty didn't have a well-established avatar yet and Brian said that Natty is going to go as the Badgers' "British Badger Queen". Thus her avatar was a queen-like character with a white forehead and the rest of her skin red[19]. After that, she got an avatar which is a pair of characters, a mother Badger (mostly red skin, the area upwards from her nose and the middle of the forehead white) holding a baby Badger in her arms; that baby Badger holding a Rubik's cube in its hands.[20][21] Natty also did an interview with an incel on the Badger Live Streams channel and in the video descriptions she was described as "British Badger Belle Natty"[22][23].

Naama Kates

Naama Kates is a Badger and an "investigative journalist" and host of "The Incel Project"[24]. Her avatar is a woman with gold-colored hair and pink and violet clothing.[25]

Elizabeth Hobson

Elizabeth Hobson is a prominent female MRA but she is rarely heard on the Honey Badger channels. She does have an avatar though, it's a small-looking character with pinkish skin, a red shirt, a dark coat/jacket and bluish-gray glasses. Like Natty, she is also a "British badger Belle".[26]
