  • Episode 61 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!
    https://www.chemicalsensitivitypodcast.org/

    It’s part of the podcast's ongoing Book and Film Club series that we aim to bring you as often as possible.

    I’m joined by two listeners with MCS, Chantelle Kirk and Kae Donais, to discuss “Safe,” the 1995 film directed by Todd Haines.

    We're not giving the film — which is controversial and could definitely be triggering — a thumbs up. The aim is to explore how the movie represents MCS.

  • 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.
