Host Phoebe Zukowski-Wallace and Producer Scotty Allen discuss the recent inquest into the death of Bradley Hope, a 16 year old who died after chroming aerosol deodorant.

The inquest held in the NSW Coroners Court is the first inquest held into a chroming-related death, and sought to understand not just the manner of Bradley's death but the wider issues surrounding volatile substance misuse in Australia.

Phoebe and Scotty talk through the elements of the inquest which are allowed to be reported on, the links to some of the findings of the research undertaken to produce this podcast, and most importantly, what impact the possible findings to be delivered by the Coroner might have on the issue of VSM, aerosol manufacturers, and more.
