In this episode, I’m speaking with filmmaker and singer-songwriter Susan Abod. Susan has MCS and focuses on the illness in her work.

In our conversation, Susan explores:

  • Her singing and songwriting about MCS.
  • Her film, “Homesick,” about her journey exploring how people with MCS try to find and build healthy and safe housing.
  • Trigger warning: Susan talks about how people with MCS who struggle housing experience disproportionately high rates of suicide.
