Iconic Skateboarder, artist, musician and cultural influencer, Mr Steve Caballero joins me from his home in California for a long conversation about his life so far. As one of the longest serving professional skateboarders of all time, Steve and I obviously touch upon his love for skateboarding and his long-term affiliation with his main sponsors, Powell-Peralta and Vans shoes. However, Steve gets vulnerable and opens up about more delicate aspects of his life, such as the challenges of parenting, views on marriage, relationships, finding his faith, self-managing his entire career, insecurities about his physical stature, the importance of self-belief, growing up, his relationship with his own parents, the size of his royalty cheques back in the 80s, why he has no plans of slowing down doing the things he loves, and much much more.
A culturally significant icon, who endures and sustains love from his global array of fans. And for good reason...he's a rad human.
How has Steve has been an influence on you over the years? Leave a comment or review.
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.
