James Bond Radio: 007 News, Reviews & Interviews!
For anyone whose idea of a perfect Friday involves a shaken martini and a deep dive into the world of espionage, James Bond Radio: 007 News, Reviews & Interviews! has been the essential weekly briefing for years. Hosts Tom Sears and Chris Wright aren't just presenters; they're genuine, lifelong fanatics whose enthusiasm is as infectious as their knowledge is deep. Their conversations form the core of this long-running podcast, moving seamlessly from dissecting the latest casting rumors and film reviews to sharing incredible stories from the franchise's inner circle. The archive is a goldmine, featuring candid conversations with legends like the late, great Sir Roger Moore, iconic villain Bruce Glover, legendary director John Glen, and production design master Peter Lamont. It's this blend of immediate news analysis and historic, firsthand insight that gives the show its unique texture. Having earned recognition from outlets like Variety and The Times, and with a five-year legacy of serving the global Bond community, James Bond Radio feels less like a produced show and more like a lively, informed chat between friends who just happen to have incredible connections to the world of 007. You'll find yourself pulled into debates about gadgetry, theme songs, and cinematic style, all while feeling like you're part of the club.
