Dan Ilic turns to crowd-funding to turn A Rational Fear into a satirical comedy hub
Dan Ilic is turning to crowd-funding to transform his ABC Radio National show A Rational Fear into a digital comedy hub.
Ilic, and the rest of the team behind A Rational Fear, want to produce Australian satirical comedy web content for an internet audience over a period of ten weeks, with the group asking Australian comedy fans for financial support to make it happen via a Pozible campaign.
In the video Ilic points out the ownership of the commercial TV networks is prohibitive of an open satirical comedy show, while the public broadcasters do not have the cash to fund it.
The Future?
I’m going to give him some cash. Good luck to him. If Melbourne can support Triple R and PBS and Sydney FBI then why not an online channel for this sort of comedy. With the exception of Mad As Hell it’s not like the ABC has given me much to watch so far this year that I’ve enjoyed.
