Mary O'Brien, Founder of 'Are You Bogged Mate', has been working shoulder to shoulder with the Rural Blokes of Australia long enough to know that how we are told to approach Mens Mental Health, isnt working for the blokes who need it most.
In the Are You Bogged Mate Podcast, you're the fly on the wall as Mary chats to blokes she meets on her travels across Australia, hearing thier stories that come complete with ripping yarns that'll put a smile on your dial and teach you a thing or 2, that might just help you handle your bucket of shit that bit better.

Gary's story goes from 0 to 100 real fast.
Growing up in Perth, Gary was kicked out of school in year 9 and sent to ‘Shit Heads TAFE’ and was lead to an early life of theft at the age of 16.
Injecting twice a day at 17, in maximum security prison by 18 and homeless at 22.
Through his own admission, he feels the court system didn't deal with him as strong as it should have.
This is a story of a long road to redemption. One that isn't over yet, because deep down, Gary knows he could slip backwards at any point.
Going to jail or rehab is the easy bit. The hard part is consistency and discipline when your out in the real world.
