About this episode

Kimberly Warner and Elizabeth Jameson discuss living with an imperfect body, the transformation of medical data into art, and the complexities of intimacy and caregiving.

In this joyful, intimate conversation, Kimberly Warner reunites with artist and writer Elizabeth Jameson—whose work many listeners may remember from the original Unfixed docu-series and their later collaboration, MS Confidential .
