About Frédéric TaddéI¯

Frédéric Taddeï, born on January 5, 1961, in Paris, began his career as a journalist in 1990 by launching the magazine Maintenant. He was later recruited to collaborate with the magazine Actuel. In parallel, he presents a literary column titled ‘Today, I Read for You’ on Radio Nova. He also participates in the editorial team of the pamphlet newspaper L’Idiot international.

Frédéric Taddeï made his television debut as a columnist on the show ‘Nulle part ailleurs’ on Canal+ from 1994 to 1998. Then, from 1998 to 2006, he replaced Thierry Ardisson on the show ‘Paris Dernière’ on the television channel Paris Première. However, it was truly with the launch of the show ‘D’art d’art’ in September 2002 on France 2 that he emerged from obscurity and became known to the general public. This mini-magazine, scheduled after the Sunday evening news, in which he recounts the background and details of a work of art, indeed exposed him to an average of 5 million viewers. Since September 2006, he has been hosting a daily cultural show on France 3, ‘Ce soir (ou jamais !)’, which starts in the late evening and frames the evening news of the channel, Soir 3. The show became weekly starting in September 2011.

Frédéric Taddeï is also a radio personality. Between 2005 and 2009, he hosted the daily then weekly show ‘Regarde les hommes changer’ on Europe 1. From 2009 to 2011, on the same radio station, he hosted the new show ‘Regarde le monde changer.’ Finally, he replaced Marie Drucker starting in the 2010 school year on the show ‘Le Débat des grandes voix.’ Since 2011, Frédéric has been hosting the show ‘Tête-à-tête’ on Sunday evenings on France Culture, in the vein of Jacques Chancel’s Radioscopie.

Frédéric Taddeï also continues to contribute to the written press. Since 2010, he has been writing his ‘modern traveler’s notebooks’ each month in Le Figaro magazine. Similarly, he replaced Frédéric Beigbeder in GQ magazine, where he conducts interviews with personalities.

In December 2007, Frédéric received the first Philippe Caloni prize, awarded to ‘a journalist who has demonstrated talent and eclecticism, particularly in the exercise of the interview or discussion.’

On October 26, 2011, Frédéric Taddeï launched a debate website on the Internet, Newsring.
