Canadian musician Ben E. Wood joins Why Am I to talk about his fourth album, the haunting creative process behind it, and the deeply personal journey through mental health challenges that shaped it. We discuss making art in recovery, what it’s like to “write an album with ghosts,” the importance of local arts, and how to support friends who may be struggling.
