Daniel Kuntz is an international school educator, long-distance runner, volleyballer, health enthusiast and dog-lover. Daniel was the winner of the grueling endurance and obstacle course event Tough Mudder in Australia in 2013. He has competed in a variety of half-marathon events around the world, in which he has maintained results in the top one percent. Born in Romania, Daniel was orphaned as a baby, adopted and moved to Canada, where he then grew up and studied. Since meeting Daniel, I am constantly impressed by his kind and approachable nature. He seeks the good in everyone he meets and in every situation. This approach translates into positive and enriching relationships with his students, colleagues, peers his beloved dogs. Daniel gives of his time freely by offering his talents to support his community whenever he can and this is evident with his weekly DanSanity fitness classes that he has consistently offered for free to his current school community. Daniel has adopted a “work hard play hard” philosophy to his life and I don’t know anyone else who does it as well as him. Daniel is on the show to share his experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future.

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.
