Blame it on the inflammation

We are living in a time of inflammation information overload. Chronic inflammation is real, but Vox’s Unexplainable asks if it’s all bad.

This episode was produced and hosted by Sally Helm, edited by Lissa Soep, with help from Joanna Solotaroff. Mixing and sound design from Cristian Ayala. Fact checking from Melissa Hirsch.
