- a special message from Ahmet’s partner, Ibrahim Can, for Bear Soup listeners:
Ahmet Yildiz was shot dead in front of his flat. that crime would never came out if i did not tell about. i do stil have a lot of problems to bring the murderers to the justice becouse the justice is not working well for gays anyway in turkey.

Ahmet Yıldız update from bianet.org, “Father of the Victim Is Fugitive Murder Suspect,” by Bawer Çakir

An exclusive — breaking news from a Turkish gay bear friend about Ahmet Yıldız’ murder:

His father is the murderer — there were people helping him, but who [knows who?]. It took a long [time for police] to identify the killer [although] the plate number of the car used in the shooting was known since the first day. When an announcement was made about the killer, [Ahmet’s] father was long gone and lost in northern Iraq. Authorities didn’t work fast, even when they were able, and absolutely did not tell anything about the investigation of his murder [even though] it’s already been the news all around the world — thanks to Ahmet’s closest friends.

A hot & hairy (NSFW) reading from Jeff Mann’s story in Steve Berman’s anthology, Best Gay Stories 2008, “Taming the Trees”

Shoutouts, and the usual audio bear furbulosity. A delightful and safe New Year to everyone!

I’m cooking up something mighty fine . . . it’s a bubbling bowl of tasty tangy BEAR SOUP!
