Episodes

  • Episode 60 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!

    It's called “Getting it Right about MCS.”

    It features a conversation with freelance writer Evan Malmgren.

    Evan’s feature article about an MCS refugee in the U.S. state of Colorado named Gary Duncan was published in Harper’s Magazine in October 2024. The article is titled, "The Fever Called Living: On the plight of environmental-illness refugees."

    Some may view the article as controversial. I want to share with you:

    I am not giving the piece a 100% thumbs up.

    The reason I invited Evan to speak with me on the podcast was to explore how journalists can sometimes get it wrong when it comes to MCS, and how they risk othering people with the illness.

    You’ll hear us talk about:

    The research he did to inform himself about MCS.

    As noted, I challenge Evan on how he and other journalists have a duty to report accurately on MCS.

    Why he thinks so many people with MCS are dismissed by healthcare workers.

    And more.

  • Episode 57 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!
    https://www.chemicalsensitivitypodcast.org/

    It’s the first in an ongoing series that we’re calling The MCS Podcast Book Club.

    I’m speaking with four women with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) — two in the U.S. and two from Canada. They are Caren Kirk, Donna Reid, Jacqueline Rice, and Ronda Sternhagen.

    The women share their thoughts about the 2020 book, “The Sensitives: The Rise of Environmental Illness and the Search for America's Last Pure Place” by Oliver Broudy.

    The book is about a journey Broudy took to try to understand MCS. We discuss how the author conducted a lot of research, outlines how we are all exposed to toxic chemicals, but according to my guests, fails to put the false argument that MCS is in our heads to rest.

    Share your thoughts about the conversation and the book.
