Jamie Mullarkey: UFC293. A fighter's journey, part 3 (Ep. 205).

Author: Shan August 24, 2023 Duration: 59:52
Send us Fan Mail I speak with UFC fighter Jamie Mullarkey for a third time this year. I feel honoured to be able to document Jamie's character, personality and mind-set during his UFC fight journey. A truely special phase of his life. Jamie re-caps his stellar performance at Perth UFC284, the lessons he learnt at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas, and his current training camp for Sydney UFC293. As an elite athlete in one of the most physically and mentally challenging sports on earth, Jami...

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.
