In interviews ranging from 1972 to 1989, Roald Dahl talks about writing for children, his medical inventions to aid his ailing son and wife (the actress Patricia Neal) when they were seriously ill and writing his short stories. He also covers his school days, military service, writing for films (including Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) and the link between cruelty and laughter.

These archive recordings, many of which have not been heard since they were first transmitted, open a window into the past and shine a light on the one of the icons of our time.

Please note: due to the age and nature of this archive material, the sound quality may vary.

As a kid, Roald Dahl was one of my favorite authors. He was partly responsible for my love of reading/listening to a good book/story. Listening to these various clips of interviews he gave throughout his life reminded me how “fun” he was. I’d definitely recommend to anybody who is a fan of Mr. Dahl! The world needs more people like him.

I Just Wish It Was Longer!!!!
