Live podcast session from Sunday the 1st June 2025.

Christian (Loader Mac) tells us about how the name arose as well as how he started working in the family business in Germany. We also compare some of the differences within the earthmoving game between Australia and Germany.

I chat with Christian (and his teddy bear) about his massive following on Tik Tok and Instagram and the opportunities that social media has brought him.

We learn about his crafty skills and how handy it is to be able to maintain your own machines and to fabricate things to make life easier.
