The Shed Wireless

The Shed Wireless Episode 6 (Season 3)

We catch up with a Shedder who was one of the first people in Australia to get COVID-19, early in 2020. He thought he was a goner. So, how’s he going 18 months later?

On-the-tools: some inspiration behind a super simple project you can do in your home shed. It’s all about native bees. Our guest Shedder had all his beliefs about bees turned upside down

Man boobs. Doesn’t every bloke get those as they get older? Is it anything to worry about? We Ask-the-Doc

Our bonus Shedder in the Spotlight is restoring an old Melbourne tram

And our special guest is a man who knows how to make you crack a smile, that Irishman Jimeoin 

A podcast for Shedders, produced by the Australian Men’s Shed Association.
