Modified Podcast

Written by

Shannon Larratt

So a couple guys have started attempting the task of doing a weekly podcast (ie. downloadable MP3 “radio” show) called the “Modified Podcast” (Phil thinks “ModCast” is a better idea — I like “ModPod” or “PodMod” personally) talking about various body modification related news stories. Their first show just came out. It’s a little “rambly” and rough around the edges, but you can click here to download it now (17mb) or click below to jump to their current website.

Suspended, Not Silenced
by Jonathon
June 6, 2025
There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
A Nightbird’s Passage
by Jonathon
June 3, 2025
Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage

by Jonathon
May 30, 2025
First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetry
by Jonathon
May 28, 2025
One of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.
