James Bond Radio Podcast #039:

James Bond Radio is back with our review of the very first 007 continuation novel 'Colonel Sun.' We're going in deep on this one talking about everything from the quality of the opening line, the villain's plot to Bond's eagerness in the bedroom!

Also we talk about the latest SPECTRE news with the latest photos and video of an action sequence shooting on the river Thames. We look at Mr. Hinx's signature handgun and we ponder the all important question of whether Daniel's Bond would or should smoke on screen. 

It's all happening this week in episode #039 of James Bond Radio.
