Scott Vandervoort is an artist, designer, educator, creative thinker, all-around nice guy, but most importantly a loving family man. Scott is the Adjunct Associate Professor of Industrial Design at the prestigious Pratt Institute Brooklyn, New York. His career as an Industrial Artist over the last twenty years has comprised of a journey that involves design, fabrication, installation, project management, utilization of urban spaces to create iconic architectural experiences, visual arts and much more. Scott is passionate about his craft and always endeavors to share his experience and knowledge with those that want to learn. He has evolved into a mentor to many. Scott is bound by a personal desire to progress, and he has expanded his skill-set in recent years to the art of Bamboo design and construction. At present, Scott is in Bali after completing another tenure as an educator on the internationally recognized Bamboo-U design course. On this week’s episode, Scott is with me to talk story, and 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.
