The Frost Tapes

by Wilfred Frost, David Paradine Productions Ltd

David Frost was the 20th century’s most prolific interviewer, a master of conversation with a remarkable talent for getting people to open up and spill their souls. Many of his conversations, however, have been lost—until now. Presented by his son, broadcaster Wilfred Frost, in Season One of “The Frost Tapes,” we resurrected interviews covering topics that had astounding relevance with current events in 2020. In Season Two, we’re joining David as he interviews the greatest entertainers of the 20th/21st centuries: Elton John, Elizabeth Taylor, Muhhamad Ali, the Beatles, and more. You can’t hear these interviews anywhere else.

Wow-*gives standing ovation *

I really appreciate being able to hear from their own mouths and not just a narration of events. A wonderful podcast that I'm sure your father would be proud of.

Amazing

This podcast is great I remember watching your dad years ago. A great way to re-visit history. Thank you for your hard work and sharing your dad with us once again!

Brilliant as Frost himself

Why oh why can’t we have this kind of long format interviews anymore? Kudos to Wilf Frost and his team for brilliant curatorship and editing. The i Heart ads are ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE tho.

Excellent Podcast

Absolutely loved this series! Engaging, well formatted, and so relevant to what’s going on today. Only complaint is that the “I heart radio” ads are especially terrible. But can’t complain too much for getting such great content for free. Hoping they decide to make more seasons 🤞🏻

What a treat

Wilfred I follow you on CNBC and did not know David Frost was your father. The only thing I have against you is that you are an Arsenal fan and I am a Liverpool fan. But joking aside I know your father interviewed the Shah of Iran and was wondering if there are any tapes from that time that did not air and you can share with us. But again I love what you have done. We need more journalists like your father.

Unquestioned Relevance

Absolutely superb. So relevant to what we’re experiencing today. 1968 = 2020.

Brilliant

What a pleasure hearing the US politicians of the past discuss and share their views on issues we still have in the US today. Excellently produced. What an amazing human David Frost was and that his legacy can live on today.

Love these interviews!

I love hearing these old interviews in the context of today. Wow a lot has changed, but A LOT has stayed the same. Thank you for digging these up and putting them together for us to hear and reflect on.
