WHEREING: A Podcast about Belonging and Design

Men’s Sheds, an international phenomenon, with thousands of clubs worldwide, are mainly ‘clubs for older guys’. They provide a place for older men to meet, build friendships and projects, pursue their interests, learn new things, and discuss health issues. In these places, there is a comfort level to talk while working “Shoulder to Shoulder”.

Phil Johnson is the Managing Director of the US Men’s Sheds, the one who originally organized, and currently helps to grow the organization. In this episode we hear from him about the transformative effect Men's Sheds have had on retired and elder men's lives.
