Kristyan Stjerne is a surfer, prolific artist, friend, free-thinker, seeker, and all-round Rad Human. If you’ve been listening to this podcast for any length of time, you’ll know that Kristyan has featured a number of times on the show, and my last in-person episode with Kish was the day before the world went into lockdown back in 2020. So this week, after a 2 year hiatus, Kish is with me live and in-person in his amazing art studio in Uluwatu Bali, to check in, share journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future. We get deep on the importance of staying connected to the ocean, conscious thought, cosmic art making, not conforming, why living your best life is honouring family lineage, and the common struggles of navigating this modern world...a standard woke discussion between two men learning how to "articulate the spirit within".
Enjoy!
Shan.

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.
