21.01.2022 New episode! He loves youse all (!) but one of the toughest men ever who walked is only here because he has a piece of pig inserted in his chest. Boxing great Jeff Fenech joins us on The Shed Wireless. We’re heading to Katherine Men’s Shed in the Northern Territory...and what is poor mental health as opposed to just a crappy day? We’ll Ask the Doc. Go to wherever you normally get your podcasts or hit play at mensshed.org/theshedwireless/

21.01.2022 HIS STORY IS BRUTAL AND COMPELLING. He went from a country town to a coal mine and was headed to the Olympics. Sports broadcaster and mental health advocate Craig Hamilton talks about the new abnormal. Also in this new episode of The Shed Wireless we ASK THE DOC about irritability and meet the colourful team from Port Sorrell Men’s Shed in Tasmania.

20.01.2022 Here are 3 good reasons to listen to the brand new episode of The Shed Wireless: 1. In Ask-the-Doc, we ask all the hard (ahem) questions about erectile dysfunction Yes, really. 2. There's a great explanation of the new tax status known as DGR, which enables approved Sheds to receive tax-deductible donations. 3. We're talking about rudeness and respect, not to mention celebrating Men's Shed Week 2020 (as demonstrated by the Shedders in the pic)... And that's just for starters!

Written and performed by the one and only JPY in conjunction with The Jingle Joint's Danny Marx Young, Donny Whitworth and Jake Tuffin. Video co-stars are the Raymond Terrace Community Men's Shed Band

04.01.2022 OUTSTANDING DEFIBRILLATOR DELIVERIES. In 2019 (that carefree year) Men’s Sheds were asked to complete a survey if they did not have a defibrillator so one could be provided under the Department of Health's Men's Sheds defibrillator initiative. Some Sheds have not completed and returned the documentation. If that's been overlooked at your Shed, could you pass on the message and attend to the paperwork ASAP to ensure delivery of the defibrillator? If you've got questions, email [email protected]
