Andrew Denton - ChangeMaker Chats - Laugh till you die
Listen now
Description
If you are in Australia you probably know of Andrew Denton the comedian, but did you know he is also a highly successful changemaker?  In this chat Andrew shares his journey of a life that began in comedy, then ventured into long form interviews with the popular television show “Enough Rope”, then a decade ago took him to a decision to try and change the laws on Voluntary Assisted Dying. Andrew shares what it was like to come to social change as a novice - and to learn the many steps of how to make powerful change with others. And despite the constant theme of death - the chat is also pretty funny.
