Kris Markovich is a husband, father, artist and iconic skateboarder. In this week’s episode, Kris joins me from his home in Florida and discusses his 30 (plus) years of skateboarding, being a pro skater for the best companies in the 90's, touring the world, starting board companies, navigating sponsorship deals, his favourite video part, his love for battling tricks, why he chooses not to live in the past, his admiration for his father, his struggles with insomnia, filming new video parts and getting sponsored at 50 years of age...
I must admit, as I was talking to Kris, I kept thinking to myself "I've got to skate harder". 
Kris is a humble, inspired human who is enjoying the happiest years of is life...
Enjoy!

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.
