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. The Blokes in Mining Podcast is Produced by Thinking Cap Solutions

When the rain rolls in, the work doesn't stop — and neither does the pressure. This week on Blokes in Mining, we're getting into what it's really like to keep dirt moving when wet weather hits the site. From slippery haul roads to waterlogged pits, we talk through the challenges of maintaining productivity when Mother Nature has other plans, and why the job still has to get done no matter what the sky is doing.
But it's not just what happens on site that weighs on a bloke — it's what happens when you pull into the driveway. We have an honest conversation about the reality of coming home after a long swing: the exhaustion, the mental load, and why sometimes you need a few quiet minutes before you can switch from "mine mode" to "dad/partner mode." If your family has ever wondered why you don't just walk through the door ready to talk, this one's for them too.
And Dave's Diary is back! Dave's been at it again this week — sharing another raw, real entry from life on the tools. You won't want to miss it.
