JBR returns with the long awaited follow up to our audiobook recording of Christopher Wood's, 'The Spy Who Loved Me' novelisation. Every week over the summer we'll be releasing 2 chapters of Christopher Wood's Moonraker. If you've never read it before you're in for some surprises. The book reads like a darker, grittier version of the film we all know and love. With extra scenes, back story and plot details that don't feature on screen, you'll never look at Sir Roger's outer space adventure the same way again. Read by Dan Gale & Tom Sears.  

It's time for another Big James Bond Quiz, this time powered by the creativity and enthusiasm of the JBR Family itself. As mentioned in last week's MI6 Mailbag episode, JBR listeners Rory Couper & John Ward have been hosting a Friday Night Bond Quiz on Zoom with assembled members of the JBR Family. So we thought what better way to see in the beginning of Summer, than by bringing them on the podcast for some 00 trivial excitement. Grab a pen and paper and get ready to test your Bond skills. Warning: If you thought our usual Boxing Day Quiz was challenging, John & Rory's questions will blow your mind.

This week Tom and Brian open up the MI6 Mailbag with special guest, Darren Noble. Eagle-eared listeners will remember us mention JBR listener Darren as our 'kindest in the community' choice during the James Bond 25 Day Challenge episode, so we thought who better than ol' Dazzy Nobs to join us on this week's episode. We'll be answering listener questions covering: The future of 007 post 'No Time To Die, whether serialised adventures are better than standalone stories, we reflect on Craig's Bondian legacy, ponder what one does with Blofeld once Daniel leaves, and much more. Tune in for this week's 00-discussion.

It’s time to bring 007 back to 1983 on this week’s, The Music of Bond. John Barry returns for duty on Octopussy. As a film we’re firmly in tongue in cheek territory, but what of the score? Tune in for discussion on the history of the music, a look behind the scenes and a track by track discussion of the original Octopussy soundtrack release.

We are joined by an all-time legend on this week's episode of James Bond Radio. The world's greatest stuntman, Vic Armstrong tells us all about his work on Bond (and beyond) over the years. From his first Bond appearance as a volcano ninja in You Only Live Twice, to doubling Bond in Live & Let Die, leaping off castle walls on horseback in Never Say Never Again, and many more. You'll hear the unlikely inspiration behind the Thames boat chase from The World is Not Enough. You'll hear stories of nasty injuries picked up in the line of duty, a Bond idea that made it into a non-Bond movie, and even Vic's thoughts on THAT scene from Die Another Day. All this and more on this week's episode of James Bond Radio. Note: A big thank you to Robert Sellers for helping put together this interview.

On this week’s JBR: The Comics of Bond episode, Alan J. Porter chats with host Jack Lugo about Bond comics, his recent trip to Goldeneye, and his work restoring vehicles and props for the Ian Fleming Foundation. Alan was an early guest of JBR in 2015 when he talked with Tom & Chris about his book James Bond: The History of the Illustrated 007. He is also the co-host of On Her Majesty’s Secret Podcast. Find out if the answers to any of Alan’s quick fire questions have changed and what he thinks about the latest Bond comics from Dynamite along with his thoughts on what the Bond franchise should do after No Time To Die. All this and more in this latest installment of JBR: The Comics of Bond.

Tom and Brian explore the James Bond 25 Day Challenge. Discussing everything from our favourite locations, to set design, action sequences and much more. You're going to find a few (positively) shocking opinions on today's episode, so buckle up, grab yourself a cool martini, and enjoy this week's podcast.

This week's podcast sees the return of Robert Sellers. Long time listeners will remember Robert from his first JBR appearance talking about his book, 'The Battle For Bond,' (podcast #012) way back in 2014. Robert is back with a new Bond book titled, 'When Harry Met Cubby: The Story of the James Bond Producers.' Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman remain the most successful producing partnership in movie history. But their relationship was fraught almost from the very beginning. With such contrasting personalities, their interactions often span out of control. They managed to drive away their coveted star, Sean Connery, and ultimately each other.

This week, we're joined by Jon Burlingame, author of 007 music bible The Music Of Bond. Having written for Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and many more, Jon is the one of the leading voices when it comes to writing about music for film and television. Jon has been at the top of our interview hitlist for a long time, and this week we finally made it happen. So, grab yourself a Vesper, put your feet up, and enjoy, The Music of Bond, with Jon Burlingame.
