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

Dave's Embarrassing Bike Incident, No-Shows at Work & One Nation on the Rise
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dave's been off the tools for a while now, and this week he finally sits down with Drew to talk about why.
A motorcycle stack left him with an injury that's kept him off site, and in this episode the boys get into what that's actually been like — the frustration of not being able to work, the boredom, and the bit nobody talks about: the guilt of leaving your crew short-handed.
They also get stuck into the news of the week — One Nation's sudden surge in the polls and what's actually behind it, plus another serve for the government over how they keep fumbling the mining industry. And there's a good honest chat about happiness on crew, what makes a good culture on site, and why blokes taking time off shouldn't mean copping grief from their mates.
Real talk, a few laughs, and the usual no-BS take from two blokes who've seen it all on site.
Pull up a seat for this one.

This episode’s brought to you by our major sponsor, Miners Finance Group. I rate these guys because Dyllan’s one of us — a miner himself, 13 years as a diesel fitter before he became a mortgage broker. He’s not some bloke in a suit guessing at FIFO life; he knows how your roster, allowances and bonuses stack up, and how to maximise your borrowing power off the back of them. After a home loan and want a broker who speaks your language? Text MINER to 0423 803 901.
