Kane Horspool is a father, skateboarder, environmentalist, National Parks and Wildlife employee, and the street artist know as “Trait”.  An artist for life, skateboarder, and humanitarian to his core, Kane's work is often provocative and always engaging. After 20 years of working for National Parks and working in forrest regeneration, Kane describes his artistic approach as "just sticking to what I know". This so happens to be images of Australian flora and fauna, combined with underlying themes of environmentalism, conservation and social justice issues.  As this episode unfolded, it became very apparent to me that I was conversing with a gifted, empathetic, and intense human that is leaving a legacy for generations to come. Kane is with me live on the back deck...sharing his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future. 
You know the drill.

You'll find a particular kind of honesty in the conversations on Terrible. Happy, a podcast that sounds like a late-night chat in a backyard after a long day at the skatepark. Host Shan sits down with a rotating cast of characters from the Australian skateboarding scene and beyond, but the talk rarely stays on just tricks and terrain. It naturally veers into the messy, funny, and deeply human stuff that happens off the board: the struggles with fitness, the odd jobs that pay the bills, the mental health ups and downs, and the pure, alternative comedy of everyday life. This isn't a polished production; it's the raw audio of community, capturing the specific voices and stories that make this culture tick. Listeners will hear genuine interviews that feel more like catching up with an old mate, punctuated by the occasional chaos of THT Radio segments. It’s about finding the connection and the laughter in the grind, whether that's on four wheels or just trying to get through the week. The result is a uniquely Australian show that’s less about sports commentary and more about the shared, sometimes terrible, often happy reality of the people within it.
