Welcome back to the world of fantasy and myth! We are taking a look at some Native American myth revolving around our favorite tricky dog: Coyote. How did this figure impact tribal creation stories? What are the roots behind casting such a mischievous figure in such an important role? Can a Coyote poop farther than a crow? All this answered and more on this weeks episode!

Elephant prosthetics! Knife hands! One-legged tap dancers! We are at the last "leg" of our prosthetics series but still have a bunch to share with you. Welcome to our relaxed fit where we go off script and get a lil' dirty! 

Yarr matey it's time for ye to come aboard because this episode is chocked full o' those dirty scoundrel pirates! We are exploring the literary influences that pushed iconic prosthetic characters into our media either through amazing deeds, or through treachery. If that weren't enough ya landlubber, we talk about Mr. Charles Dickens himself and how he may have influenced how we see amputees and veterans to this very day!

We are talking about 2 legends of the prosthetic world this week. One was a warrior-poet who was paid by the rich but gave back to the poor. The other was a surgeon who gave the gift of a second life to soldiers who had lost their limbs in battle. Travel back to medieval times (not the pizza joint) with Sam and Beren as we dig into the uplifting stories of what were generally dark times of human history. 

Get in your mental hot air balloon because it's time to go back to ancient Egypt and set the record straight on just how important carved toes were to the development of prosthetics in modern society. If that weren't enough, we are also reading the escapades from one of the most badass roman soldiers ever to lose a hand in glorious battle. Part 1 begins today babies.

This week we are talking electric cuffs to put a pep in the step of the binded and a pair of iron mitts designed to keep you from grasping anything beyond your current situation. Last round of handcuff history for ya'll, we are covering some things you may not have heard about yet. 

B-b-back from the Victorian up to the modern we are talking about the handcuff stories you haven't heard about. Was Houdini actually magic? Is Japanese hard to pronounce? We are answering the real questions here by talking about the master escape artist himself, and a little BDSM to get you in the mood.
