About this listen

Rambling is about discovering good things blokes are doing in our local communities.

Shunter and 8-Ball are two old mates who love to explore stories of men doing good things in our local - and particularly regional - communities. We love to scratch beneath the surface of our local communities to see what stories lie beneath,

Each episode we kick off a conversation about life as a bloke in the modern world and see where it leads us. We typically cover topics such as family, business, mental health, music, literature, and sport. Our conversations are rambling, fun and insightful.

    Rambling #34 - On ridiculous roundabouts, bureaucracy gone mad, and the United States of Trump
    Jan 19 2026

    In the first recorded episodes of 2026 Scott and Brian catch-up sans-guest and reflect on some of their favourite Rambling moments from 2025.

    They also chat about the impact of the Victorian bushfires, the wash-up from the 2025-26 men's cricket Ashes Tour, how bureaucracy gone mad resulted in Australia's most ridiculous roundabout, and the what Trump's ongoing insistence of doing whatever the hell he wants might mean for the future of the world order.

  • Rambling #32 - On the importance of independent Australian music with Brett Adie

    Rambling #32 - On the importance of independent Australian music with Brett Adie
    Jan 5 2026

    Brett Adie is one of the most passionate champions of independent Aussie music you will. He is one of the hosts of two radio programs on Bendigo's Phoenix FM - Live Music Bendigo and Aussie Trove. The latter has now been syndicated to be broadcast across the national Community Radio Network.

    Aussie Trove showcases latest releases from Australian independent artists from across the country and of all levels - from the smallest regional artists to nationally recognisable artists.

    In the 4th and final of the Rambling roadtrip Bendigo episodes, the lads chat to Brett about why it is important to support independent Australian music, how we can do more to support it, and why he dedicates so much of his time to being a champion for the cause.
