Jed Smith: Unearthing Wisdom in Meditation, Psychedelics, and World Affairs (Ep. 220).

Author: Shan January 24, 2024 Duration: 1:15:37
Send us Fan Mail When Jed Smith sat across from me in Byron Bay, the air was thick with stories of transformation and the hum of cicadas. Our conversation swept from the tangible - dietary shifts post-concussion, to the profound - the interplay of meditation and psychedelics on our mental landscapes. Jed, returning for his third candid exchange, peels back the layers of his evolution from a journalist to a podcast co-host, offering a treasure trove of wisdom for those navigating the murky wat...

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.
