CELEBRATING JOHN CLARKEJohn Clarke was a pioneering comedian, actor and writer, whose television appearances as farmer Fred Dagg in the 1970s marked the emergence of a distinctive home-grown style of New Zealand comedy. In 1977 Clarke moved permanently to Australia, where he was best known for the popular television series The Games and a series of satirical mock interviews with Australian Bryan Dawe. His wide-ranging talents included scriptwriting, music, documentary presenting, and literary pastiche, and his comic performances encompassed pratfalls, parody and political satire.John died of a heart attack in 2017 aged 68 whilst hiking in the Grampians with his wife and friends.Celebrating John is his daughter Lorin Clarke - herself no stranger to life in the creative arts. Lorin wrote, directed and narrated the award-winning ABC RN audio fiction serial, The Fitzroy Diaries (originally aired on ABC RN's Life Matters), which you can find here. It won the Best Fiction award at the Australian Podcast Awards in May 2019. Lorin also writes for television and is a regular columnist for The Big Issue.Her recent memoir, Would That Be Funny?

How many times have you referred to yourself as ‘too old' or ‘too young' for something? Have you blamed your forgetfulness on a ‘senior moment' or your sore neck on ‘being over 30'? I'll be honest, before I found out about Ashton Applewhite's work, they were comments I made ALL the time. But, remarks like these as well as a whole host of other behaviors are acts of ageism - something Ashton calls the ‘last socially sanctioned prejudice' & it's damaging to everyone because guess what? We're all aging! So how can we push back against this discrimination and age positively in a society that's obsessed with youth? That's what we're going to tackle today.

Hear from some of the country's finest writers of historical novels – Geraldine Brooks (Horse), Pip Williams (The Bookbinder of Jericho) and emerging talent Sally Colin-James (One Illumined Thread) – as they discuss the past as prologue and how they convincingly intertwine fact and fiction in their work.
