About this listen

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.

    Jan 26 2026

    A candid family conversation between cousins exploring their grandfather's wartime return, how toughness, humour and silence were passed down, and the everyday stories that bind a family.

    They mix laughter and honesty while discussing aging fathers, music, pranks and the realities of health—especially the importance of blood tests, blood pressure checks and mental wellbeing.

    This episode is a warm, honest reminder to check on loved ones and to book those long‑avoided GP appointments. Part three will continue into Paul Fiddler's radio years.
