Frantic Times was a half-hour radio show on CBC that ran from 1981 to 1984 featuring The Frantics and guest performers. The idea behind Best of Frantic Times was to take the best of the 120 episode, 1000 plus sketches that were originally broadcast and turn them into a series of podcasts. We did not want this to be a trip down memory lane, though there will be a some of that, but a reintroduction to a show that is still funny today. Have fun. Welcome to the Best of Frantic Times.

My childhood revisited!!!!

I can’t believe how much this humor is still relevant to today…my dad searched for the Frantics on the internet before this was resurrected. I love learning these skits with clear audio as my tapes have seen better days!!!

Flawless Podcast From a Flawless Team!

I’ve been a fan of them for a long time, and they’ve always stayed witty, relevant, and ridiculous in the best possible way. Knowing they are re-releasing their old episodes fills me with incredible joy. I was worried how they’d execute the process, and if it would take away from the original, but they’ve only made it better.
If you want to laugh like hell you’ve found the right feed. This podcast does not disappoint.
