Marley Rae is a sponsored Australian skateboarder, occasional competitor, university student, retail worker, and purveyor of good vibes. In this week's episode, Marley discusses his part in the skate movie 'Memory Box,' his foray into Paris Olympics qualifying competitions, his connection with Bar Beach Bowl, his affection for the Newcastle skate scene, why he takes pride in his unique style, the significance of authenticity, the self-imposed pressure he faces, his academic pursuits, the admirable qualities of his parents, and much more. Despite being only 21 years old, Marley's depth of awareness and well-rounded thinking surpass his age, making him a conscious individual who doesn't take himself too seriously.
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.
