The Chronic Edge Unleashed
Welcome to The Chronic Edge Unleashed - formally known as The Badass Podcast: Living on the Edge.
Why the new name? Unfortunately, we've had to drop the BadA bit from our work across the various platforms for a number of reasons, mainly down to the A part, and it's been a while since we did an episode so we thought, let's do a little re-brand to match up our other mediums.
Our podcast consists of 3 shows -
Living on the Edge / Illness is not a burden / Behind the Edge
Illness is not a burden - 3 short 20 minute episodes a month on subjects from Autism too Combat Stress, 1 episode to describe it, 1 how it impacts individuals at working/looking for work, and 1 on how it impacts the workplace for employers and HR professionals.
Living on the Edge - 1 episode a month based on a theme being ran by Illness is not a burden by someone with or working within the subject and how it has impacted them.
Behind the Edge - News, research and information from your host Elliot Evans that could benefit you as a listener.
