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 episodes 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. = Bi-weekly.
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. Re-starting March 2026
Behind the Edge - News, research and information from your host Elliot Evans that could benefit you as a listener. Bi-weekly

Illness is not a Burden E1 - Autism in the Workplace
Welcome to the first episode of our new series: ILLNESS IS NOT A BURDEN - Autism in the Workplace.
There are approx 1 MILLION people with Autism in the United Kingdom, with an expected 700,000 too another million awaiting diagnosis, from that pool of just under 2 Million people, it may be a shock but less than half a million of them are in employment, and those of them that are, may be in roles well below their capabilities.
But why?
This session gives a snapshot of a wider problem, with the intention to help people and companies understand the benefits of hiring an autistic individual and help those with autism unleash their self-worth and talents using real-data and practical tools.
As this is launch week, we will be adding our next episode on Friday, and then moving to Tuesday weekly for Illness is not a burden.
Our next episode is Navigating the workplace as an Autistic.
- Please note, not all autistic people are the same, even with the same traits, our experiences differ, these sessions are taken from my personal experience as a late diagnosed person with autism and research.
- If you enjoy the show, please like or share, I'd really appreciate it.
