About this episode

Robert Golluch discusses the Canadian Men's Shed movement and its community impact with host John Paul Young.

Robert Golluch joins JPY all the way from Canada on The Shed Wireless podcast One of the great things about the Men's Shed movement is that it started right here in Australia, but these days you'll find sheds popping up all over the globe. This Shedder in the Spotlight joins us all the way from Canada. Robert Golluch is President of the Canadian Men's Shed Association, and his Men's Shed journey started much like many others — he retired, went looking for something to do and wandered into a local shed thinking he'd make a bit of sawdust. A few years later he found himself leading a movement that's now spread to more than 200 sheds across Canada. From repair cafes and woodworking projects to maple syrup and community connections, Robert joins John Paul Young to talk about the Canadian take on Men's Sheds. The Shed Wireless podcast is produced by the Australian Men's Shed Association and hosted by John Paul Young, for the love of shedding.
