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.
