Tom Ballard talks to Rod Quantock
Rod Quantock recently received a Medal of the Order of Australia for his 45+ years of being an outspoken comedian/environmentalist activist/shit-stirrer. He is a living legend of Australian comedy who has relentlessly used his work to explain, dissect and call out political issues that really piss him off.
In this wide-ranging chat, Rod told me about his thoughts on music, his political radicalisation, the origins of his groundbreaking shows Tram and Bus, the community campaigns he’s been involved with, being physically beaten at a protest at the 2000 World Economic Forum, his plans to close down the Murdoch press, how he keeps faith in the political system (or doesn’t) and how the realities of climate change colour his view of the future.

Hung Lee AND Rod Quantock TALK TO STELLA KINSELLA
Stella brings in the maiden interview of the ‘Funny about books’ podcast live at the Newport Comedy Room with special guests and legendary comics – Rod Quantock and Hung Le. Rod proudly confesses to having never written for his stand up routines, but Hung admits to aiming for a cracking punch line every three sentences! In a conversation taking more twists and turns than a federal politician watering with a cheap garden hose, the group discusses whether comics are made or born, the delights of the classics and how much fun it is to ‘peel the tape off’ racial and political stereotypes. “It really helps if you look funny…” reflects Hung about physical comedy, to which Rod quips: “You lucky bastard!”

A Rational Fear
‘Rod is no stranger to Australian comedy fans. From his early stand up days at The Last Laugh, to his work on TV shows like Australia You’re Standing In It (yes, and Captain Snooze).
‘Rod dedicated the last couple of decades to doing comedy about climate change . He is the guy who inspired me to start A Rational Fear as a vehicle to bring more people to the topic of climate change in an accessible way. The conversation with Rod Quantock is a little…. depressing but it’s worth hearing his point of view as a guy who has been active in this space for a long time…and is tired.’ Dan Illic
Rod’s interview begins at 60 minute mark.
