Who Is Your Hero is an unapologetically real Australian podcast created and hosted by Matthew “Buzz” Fidler, built on one simple belief:
👉 Everyone has a story that can change someone’s life.
Born from a personal journey through kidney failure, footy fields, PNG jungles, construction sites, and some of life’s toughest setbacks, Who Is Your Hero has become a national movement of resilience, mateship, truth-telling, and everyday heroes.
Each episode dives deep into the lives of ordinary Australians doing extraordinary things — survivors, soldiers, footy legends, community leaders, domestic-violence warriors, tradies, battlers, advocates, and the quiet achievers who keep this country rolling.
Buzz brings the raw honesty, humour, and heart Australians crave:
- Real talk without the polish
- Big laughs mixed with big truths
- Life lessons from people who’ve actually lived
- A platform for voices that deserve to be heard
With conversations that hit like a beer-shed yarn, a hospital-bed reflection, and a campfire confession all in one, Who Is Your Hero isn’t just a podcast — it’s a movement.
A movement that says:
➡️ Your story matters.
➡️ Your struggles can lift someone else.
➡️ Your heroes might be right beside you — not on a screen.
From Townsville to Tassie, from veterans to young dads, from survivors to those still fighting — this is the podcast Australia needed.
Real people.
Real stories.
Real heroes.

Episode 48 – Tim McKee (Part 1) Standards, Service & Second Chances
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some men are forged quietly.
Not by spotlight.Not by applause.But by responsibility.
In this powerful Part 1 conversation, Buzz sits down with Townsville’s own Tim McKee — not to talk about titles, but to uncover the foundations behind a life built on service, standards, and duty.
From a young boy learning gratitude from his father…To watching his aunt build hospitals in India and give her life to others…To driving trucks while studying law…To losing his job during the slump and landing in Townsville in 1983…To the defining moment in 1996 when his mentor passed away and Tim picked up 150 unknown client files — and simply got on with it.
No drama.No ego.No quitting.
This episode explores:
• The power of perspective and gratitude• Old-school parenting, respect, and responsibility• Why failure “never computed”• The importance of mentoring young people properly• Coaching kids when no one else would step up• The creed he learned from the Salvos: “Heart to God, Hand to Man.”• What it really means to just “do it” when life hands you weight
This is not a hype episode.
It’s a foundation episode.
Because before legacy… before recognition… before an Order of Australia… there were standards formed in quiet moments and decisions made when no one was watching.
If you’re feeling pressure right now…If you’re carrying more than you think you can…If you’re wondering whether to quit…
Listen closely.
Part 2 drops soon — where we dive into Tim’s community impact, giving back, his WHY, and the journey that led to national recognition.
