Catcha later dudes! Board the time-travelling telephone booth with me as we go back in time and reincarnate the spirit of Ian Fleming. Ok, not exactly! But in this episode, I’ll give you my take on what Fleming would have had to say about all that has transpired in the world of James Bond 007 since his death in 1964…the films, the continuation novels, the character interpretations, and how Bond has changed over the last sixty years. What choices would he have enjoyed, and what would driven him nuts? Well, Mr. Fleming, I’m ready to speak on your behalf!

Special delivery! Joe Darlington, the renowned podcast legend behind Being James Bond, joins me for an in-depth conversation in this special episode. Joe’s extensive knowledge around the world of Bond skill-sets blends perfectly with my inquisitive and satirical nature as we tackle the most outrageous and implausible skills and knowledge that James Bond embodies. It’s a fun ride that will have you questioning how believable Bond’s extensive knowledge is in more than twelve languages, his talent at commandeering any vehicle he has access to like a trained instructor, and his ability to have every outfit for every climate always at his disposal. Mary Poppins would be impressed!

How much do you spend annually on your Bond hobby? Do you have any idea? Let's discuss some recent poll results about what people were willing to admit to...and why those results mean bupkis. I make the argument that most Bond fans do not have an accurate idea of how much they spend on this passion. With watches, products, trips, events, and more, if you aren't careful, being a fan of 007 could be to your financial detriment. Some food for thought for those who could use a financial wake-up call!
