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. Who Is Your Hero?

   Episode 60, Part 2: Honesty Bites You on the Ass — Steve Beanland

   This is a conversation that stays with you. In Part Two, Steve Beanland takes us inside the years that followed the moment he says he raised serious concerns while working at the police academy. He describes being isolated from the job and life he had built, facing a long and painful battle, and reaching moments so dark he wasn’t sure he could keep going. But Steve’s story does not end there. He speaks about the people and moments that helped him survive, the first steps that brought him back towards life, and the powerful sense of purpose he has found in helping others. Today, he’s listening, reaching out and sharing his experience with people who may be sitting alone, shutting out the world and wondering if anything can change. Steve’s message is simple, but it can be life-changing: tell someone what’s really going on. Take one step. Remember what you used to love—and believe there may still be a path back to it. This is honest, raw and deeply moving. It’s about speaking up, surviving the darkest chapter, and discovering that your life can still hold meaning, connection and a second chance. If you’re struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or a support service. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

   Episode 60, Part 1: When Honesty Bites Your Ass — Steve Beanland

   Before becoming a Victorian police detective, Steve Beanland travelled through Europe with a mullet that had people mistaking him for Jason Donovan. He joined the police in 1986, found his calling in the work, and spent years serving the community. In Part 1, Steve looks back on those early days and shares his experience of the investigation into the murders of fellow officers Gary Silk and Rodney Miller — the shock of losing colleagues, the pressure of the investigation, and the people who carried on with the case. An honest conversation about service, loyalty, and what stays with you after the job is done. Part 2 continues Steve’s story. Content note: This episode discusses the deaths of police officers and violence.
