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?

With special guest: Lorin Clarke… in conversation with Bill Kable The mere mention of John Clarke’s name brings a smile to the faces of Australians and New Zealanders in particular. The much loved actor/writer/comedian died suddenly on 9 April 2017 but his memory lives on. Now with the new book Would that be funny? John Clarke’s daughter Lorin Clarke ensures that we learn some more about the man we all feel we grew up with. Lorin really did grow up with him and she has a unique insight into the man who appeared so often on our radios and televisions. John had an unlikely start into becoming an icon. He started two University courses that he did not finish and at that point had no idea what he was going to do in life. So he travelled to London as young people did and found himself with a key part in one of our favourite movies. When The Adventures of Barry McKenzie was being cast in London he played a stereotypical Aussie abroad. Most importantly he met in London his future wife Helen. “Picked her out of thousands” he liked to say. Podcast (mp3)

In her own right, Lorin Clarke, the daughter of New Zealand Comedian legend John Clarke, is as talented as it comes.   Following in her father's footsteps, Lorin expressed her creative side through writing and producing children's TV, film, and books, as well as podcasts and columns for the ABC.  She's told the story of what it was like growing up with John as a father in her memoir ‘Would that be Funny? Growing Up with John Clarke'.   Lorin joined Jack Tame to chat about the memoir, which was released in August this year.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Girl in the Eagle's Talons by Karin Smirnoff: This is the latest book in the Millennium series which was started by Stieg Larsson who wrote the first three books, before he died. The estate then commissioned David Lagercrantz to do three more in the series and now there's the next one, the first to be done by a woman. It's more of that very gritty Scandinavian crime. Millennium magazine has finally hit the dust and Mikael Blomkvist is licking his wounds, trying to reconcile himself to a modern world of podcasts rather than the printed version - and travels north to see his daughter who's about to get married to a very shady civil servant who's involved in some shady goings on about the development of a new wind farm and what it will take to win the locals over and to persuade some landowners to sell to the developers. Turns out Lisbeth Salander is also in the area, having been asked to take on the care and protection of her niece, which is a job she's entirely unsuited for and unwilling to perform. Really nice to be reading about her again.  Would that be Funny? by Lorin Clarke. Lorin is John Clarke's daughter and has written a memoir about what it was like growing up with someone who was not only so very famous but also so incredibly funny, all the time. As many families do, they had their own language for things, some of which is hilarious - she gives lots of  words and the Clarke family definitions of them, it's a bit like a secret society. John wrote his own book a few years ago, called Tinkering, but to read about him from someone who knew him intimately and has inherited his love of words and humour is really lovely. It's a great tribute to him.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Writer, comedian, satirist John Clarke was a legend in his native New Zealand and his adopted Australia. He came to prominence with his character Fred Dagg, but was also the creator of farnarkling, 'The Games', and the Clarke and Dawe satirical political interviews. John Clarke died on 9 April 2017 while hiking in the Grampians. On 2 July that year, there was 'A Celebration of John Clarke' at the Melbourne Town Hall, hosted by The Wheeler Centre and the Clarke family. There were numerous speakers, and the full audio of the event is online and outstanding. One of the speakers was Andrew Denton, a friend of Clarke's and a legend of Australian television himself, as the host of Enough Rope. This episode features Andrew Denton's eulogy on that amazing night, as well as a funny, emotional interview with Denton on the impact Clarke had one his life and career. Denton talks about the wisdom of his mentor and friend, particularly with respect to 'the art of living a life'. To read a transcript of Andrew speech, visit Speakola.  To listen to the speech, listen to the podcast or visit the Wheeler Centre site. You can Andrew Denton's end of life law reform movement, Go Gentle Australia here. The National Press Club speech referred to in the episode is this one. The Clarke family were incredibly supportive with respect to this episode. My sincere thanks to Helen, Lorin and Lucia, and you can support John's chosen charity Trust for Nature here. You can also buy his recording and books at his website, including the clips used with permission in the episode.  Tony's '1989 The Great Grand Final' is available online or directly from Tony, signed as a Fathers Day gift. His other books are available too if you felt like supporting him in lockdown. Episode supported by GreenSkin™ and PurpleSkin™ avocados at http://lovemyavocados.com.au.  Please subscribe to the podcast, visit Speakola,  and share any great speeches that are special to you, famous or otherwise.

Hello all! Today we talk about social embarrassment and catfishing. But don't worry: STEWART IS NOT A CREEP. The waitress whose address he asked for even said so.

THIS PODCAST WAS RECORDED LAST WEEK SORRY FOR CONFUSING EVERYONE.

In which Stewart unilaterally introduces a new segment.

We're baaaaaaack. Stew might not have been to an education home but he does know how to do a criminal profile of a male thief.

Bitingly clever satire delivered with a well-timed drollness marked John Clarke’s work which included the black singleted, gumboot-cladded Fred Dagg, the alternative national anthem We Don’t Know How Lucky We Are, the groundbreaking mockumentary The Games, and weekly skits on the absurdities of Australian political life with longtime collaborator Bryan Dawe. To mark his death, and the republication of his novel The Tournament alongside two writing collections, friends and colleagues Tom Scott and Michael Heyward gather with Clarke’s daughter Lorin Clarke, herself an accomplished writer, to pay tribute to this remarkable man, chaired by Gemma Gracewood.

Playwright Hannie Rayson is a much-loved Australian institution. She made history when her stage hit Life After George became the first play to be shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award, and her first major success, Hotel Sorrento was made into a feature film and is a staple of VCE reading lists. She has also written for television, including popular hit Sea Change. In her long-awaited memoir, Hello Beautiful, Hannie presents scenes from her own life, with all the insight, wit and narrative flair she has perfected in her plays. In this conversation with writer, director and broadcaster Lorin Clarke, she shares insights from this hilarious (and often dramatic) behind-the-scenes look at the life of an Australian success story. In partnership with Montalto Vineyard & Olive Grove.
