What this episode covers

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast and please welcome our guests for today! We are joined by Michelle Rapp (aka KilnFiendPotter [https://twitter.com/kilnfiendpotter]). Michelle was the first guest of the Goblin Lore Podcast way back in episodes 8 [https://goblinlorepod.podbean.com/e/episode-8-color-pie-a-la-mode-part-i/] and 9 [https://goblinlorepod.podbean.com/e/episode-9-color-pie-a-la-mode-part-ii/] when she discussed the Color Pie and Art with us! We welcomed her back as we were struck by the discussion in this article [https://blog.cardkingdom.com/deeper-blue-jace-vulnerability-masculinity/] she wrote for Card Kingdom. In Part 1 we discuss her cats, the before times (pre-COVID), and Jace the Mindsculptor!   Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter [https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/] (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not). ____________________________________________ As promised, we plan to keep these Mental Health Links available moving forward too.
