John learns there's a lot Men's Sheds and Are You Bogged Mate? have in common – we know it's important for blokes to get together, shoulder to shoulder, to connect (sometimes in silence!), to have a community of support and to have a few good mates that make it all worthwhile.
On the Tools is in the garden with Sabrina Hahn. You might recognise the voice behind the mic from elsewhere on the airwaves. Sabrina’s got some great tips for getting out in the garden during autumn.
Shedder in the Spotlight hails from South Gippsland, Victoria. Max Wood joined the Leongatha Men’s Shed on the proviso that he didn’t have much time to commit to being part of running the shed. Well as the story has it, he’s been the president at the shed for about 8 years. Though he’s seen some trials and tribulations, Max’s sense of humour has got him through.
We’re On The Road with Ken Newton, Chair of the Australian Caravan Club. Ken’s got a wealth of experience behind him when it comes to recreation vehicles, and some great tips for both the novice and the expert grey nomads.
AMSA’s Men’s Health Project Officer Stuart Torrance has his finger On The Pulse of hearing in the shed. Stuart spoke to Soundfair CEO Caitlin Barr about making shed environments friendlier for members with hearing loss.
And Rip, well he’s getting musical!

Our special guest is Karl Kruszelnicki (who you might know better as “Dr Karl”). A man well known for his amazing depth and breadth of knowledge when it comes to all things science, Karl and JPY had a chat about life, the planet and, of course, his shed.
Our Shedder in the Spotlight is a centenarian shedder with a fascinating life story – a choir boy, a prisoner of war, an all-round top bloke. JPY caught up with Bill Hallett from Pottsville and District Men’s Shed.
On The Road Butch and JPY are cooking their catch and tantalizing your taste buds today.
Losing bladder or bowel control when you don’t mean to can be an embarrassing topic, but it’s very real for more than a million Aussie blokes. We don't shy away from taboo topics so AMSA’s Stuart Torrance invited A/Prof Craig Allingham on for an Ask the Doc chat about incontinence.
On the Tools we’re working with resin.
And Rip Woodchip is feeling his age.
