Blokes In Mining Podcast
Raw, real yarns from the Mining & FIFO front line. Hosted by Drew & Dave—talking mining life, money, mental health, and mateship.
Blokes in Mining is a no-filter, straight-talking podcast for FIFO workers and mining legends who want real talk, a laugh, and practical insight into money, mental health, mateship, and life on-site. Hosted by Drew—miner, ex-cop, financial planner, and all-round top bloke—and his FIFO mate Dave, the show is raw, relatable, and built for anyone connected to the mining game. It’s the kind of honest yarn you’d have over a beer after a long swing—covering everything from financial smarts to site struggles, sport, family life, and the best stitch-ups from the mines.

From Footy to FIFO: Danny Nutley’s Story (Part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You know the name from footy — Origin, NRL, Super League. But what you probably didn’t know is Danny Nutley spent 15 years in mining after footy, running crews, learning gear, and leading from the front.
In this ep, he spills on:
- How he landed his first mining job (the interview was wild)
- Shitting himself the first time he dropped a dozer over a dragline bench
- What makes a good boss on-site (hint: it ain’t the loudest bloke)
- Mental health, getting diagnosed with cancer, and why blokes need to speak up
- Building solid crews, calling out BS, and looking after your people
This is Part 1 of Nutley’s yarn.
Part 2 drops in 2 weeks — and yeah, there’s a wild Alfie Langer story you’ve never heard before.
