Special episode: “Quitting Private Eye” with Zoom Rockman

Zoom Rockman is a 23-year-old award-winning political cartoonist, illustrator, and puppet animator. At the age of twelve, Zoom became the youngest cartoonist in history to work for The Beano, with his monthly comic strip, ‘Skanky Pigeon’. This ran for four years until he left at age sixteen to become a regular contributor at Private Eye Magazine. For his cartoon on the subject of antisemitism, he was one of the winners at the Political Cartoon Awards 2023.

In this special bonus episode of Podcast Against Antisemitism, Zoom opens up about his decision to quit Private Eye over its incendiary cartoon about Israel and for failing to take proper action after he had received a death threat.

Stay tuned for Season 5 of Podcast Against Antisemitism, coming shortly.
