In 2018, lifelong skateboarder Shannon Farrugia started Terrible Happy Talks as a way to create space for honest, long-form conversations about skateboarding, life, mental health and the experiences we share as humans.

Since then, hundreds of episodes have been recorded, and the project has grown into Terrible.Happy, a place for stories, conversations and perspectives from within Australian skateboarding and beyond.

Alongside the podcast’s extensive back catalogue, you’ll find thought pieces, interviews and photo features from some of Australia’s best skate photographers and writers.
