Steve Tierney: En la vida real (Ep. 218).

Author: Shan December 8, 2023 Duration: 1:45:45
Send us Fan Mail Last episode for 2023. Steve is back on the show for a second time this year. Checkout our first episode #202. Unlike our first episode (which was an online recording), this week's episode is in real life. En la vida real. I asked Steve to write his own bio: “I try to see life as a series of experiences that challenge or change me in a positive way. I’m kinda excited about getting older and thinking back to the random and crazy shit that I did. Even the stuff that may hav...

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.
