FROST/NIXON

The celebrated British television interviewer intones with gravitas his pursuit of the "biggest fish" in his career, disgraced former president Richard Nixon. Frost engrosses the listener in the behind-the-scenes machinations necessary to put together the groundbreaking interview. He admits his anxiety about his attempt to reel in the president and allows that tension to drive the rhythm of the narration. Most enjoyable is his vocal tone when delivering the more outrageous portions of the memoir. Proving himself worthy of the accolades he received for his long career as a storyteller and interviewer, Frost makes this work well worth the time and attention of the listener.
