Marlon Roche: Smoking weed, mental health, empathy, social etiquette (Ep. 177).

Marlon Roche: Smoking weed, mental health, empathy, social etiquette (Ep. 177).

Author: Shan December 3, 2022 Duration: 1:22:47
Send us Fan Mail Marlon Roche is an artist, sponsored skateboarder, empath and someone I consider a good friend. This week, Marlon and I record live in front of a small audience at King Pin Skate Supply. I attempted to talk to Marlon purely about skateboarding for this episode, however, most of the conversation is about smoking weed, perspectives on mental health, gardening, trauma, social etiquette, and much much more. Marlon's maturity, intellect and inquisitive nature never ceases to amaze...

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.
