Stephen is a proud Koori man of the Warumunga Kamilaroi nation, father, motivational speaker, skateboarder and double amputee (legs). Stephen grew up in a low socio-economic area on the south east coast of New South Wales Australia. Aside from being a highly dedicated father, and skateboarder, Stephen is passionate about advocating for, and raising awareness about, the pandemic of mental illness that continues to sweep the world, particularly in males. Known as “Stove” to his friends, Stephen’s skills on a skateboard are mind-blowing. You just have to watch his clips on Youtube to see his level of dedication and his ability to adapt. Upon meeting Stephen, I sensed his innate sincerity immediately, a person that is comfortable in his skin, empathetic and supportive of others. In this week's episode, Stephen is with me to share his journey, challenges, experiences 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.
