CBC—

It’s one of Barbara Frum’s most famous interviews. It’s March 1979 and she is on the phone with Harold Ballard, the controversial and outrageous owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and with Globe and Mail columnist Dick Beddoes.

A fiery Ballard enrages Canadians when says women on the radio are a joke and implies that the best position for them is on their backs.

Ballard eventually hangs up on Frum but not before he tells her to keep quiet and berates her for interrupting him. Frum remains pleasant and good-natured throughout the abusive interview.

The next night, Frum reads a letter to Ballard forgiving him for his sexist outbursts. She signs the “Dear Harold” letter from “Your favourite BROAD-caster.”

The clip is available here and well-worth taking a few minutes to check out.

Classic Ballard—so unapologetically offensive, it’s actually entertaining.
