Getting it Right about MCS: Evan Malmgren

The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast

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.
