- Our special guest is pop legend Glenn Shorrock who is still adding to his extraordinary music career at age 76. He's loving life despite battling anxiety and having what he calls an 'old life crisis'.
- Ask the Doc returns and we discuss service and maintenance for your own chassis. Featuring Healthy Male's Professor Rob McLachlan.

It’s the wireless you’d listen to if you were in the Shed… Or wanted to hear the latest surprise hit song! * “Short, fat, tall, skinny, hairy, bald, in the Shed it’s welcome one and all.” We debut the brand new Australian Men’s Shed Association jingle and it’s guaranteed to get stuck in your head. * The genius behind the jingle is none other than the legendary Australian pop star John Paul Young. He has gone into business with his equally talented son — in their shed — and we drop by for a yarn with the dynamic duo. * We’re off to the nation’s capital to hear about rocking horse restoration and the Belconnen Men’s Shed. * Those monkey-farming grassholes Rip and Stuart have a few choice words about swearing. * Plus we Ask the Doc about carrots, losing your license and eyesight. All that and much more ahead in this episode of the Shed Wireless.
