FFF Podcast Episode 15: Prosthetics, Otherkinity and Maki

In a continuation from where we left off with the topic of prosthetics  in episode 10, we invited one of our friends from the Otherkin community  to talk about her views on arm prosthetics, how they might improve and  how they interact with her life and with her spiritual perspective as an  otherkin person with a deep connection to a few non-human forms, with a  nod to the healing power of art.

It's our delight to talk with the inimitable and wonderful Maki Hooves.

Athamanatha Kitsune hosts and Ondrik Birb brings some interesting perspectives and questions too.
