Doug Hearne is a husband, father, and educational leader of the highest standard. Doug was a member of the national expert panel that set up the framework and structure of the Australian Health and PE curriculum. Doug began as a classroom teacher, before progressing to a lecturer at the University of Wollongong, and Vice president of  the Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER for short) and then finally Principal of a large co-educational public High School in Southern Sydney. 

Doug’s passion for educational reform is unparalleled and is mirrored by the hundreds of University students he has led and developed into quality teachers.

Newly retired and relaxing with a glass of red wine, in this week's episode, Doug is with me to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

Doug supports and advocates for:

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.
