This week, I sit down with Zane Hedley — co-founder of Nextdoor Sydney, the skate-inspired clothing label making serious waves in the Australian streetwear scene. From his early days skating Bar Beach Bowl to building a brand rooted in community, culture, and clean design, Zane breaks down what it really takes to turn an idea into a movement.

We talk skateboarding, the creative process, launching a business with your mates, and how they’ve carved out a lane of their own in an industry flooded with trends.

Whether you're a skater, a designer, or just someone chasing a dream, this convo's got something for you. We also dive into the resounding success of the Bondi Bowl Bash — an event Zane played a key role in organising.

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.
