0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode number 107 of James Bond Radio. |
0:04.1 | My name's Tom Sears, and I'm not joined by Chris Wright sadly this week, though he will be featuring in this week's episode, which is kind of fantastic. |
0:11.8 | Now, in a change to our programming, we were going to do an MI6 mailbag episode this week, but we had something, which, dare I say, it might be a little bit better than that. |
0:20.6 | So we thought we'd do a little bit of a replacement and squeeze that in to this week's episode. |
0:25.6 | Now, who do we have on today's show? |
0:27.5 | We have an interview with Mr. Rich Zacker. |
0:30.5 | Now, who is Rich Zacker? |
0:31.9 | You ask. |
0:32.5 | I can hear you all asking me. And the answer to that question is he's only the grandson of Timothy Moxon, |

1:11.3 | of thing. So good stuff. Make sure you stick around for that because that's a cool little |
1:15.5 | interview. Now, before we crack on, a couple of little things. Basically, Chris is hosting a special |
1:24.4 | JBR meetup in the sort of Londonish, pinewoodish area on the 16th to the 18th of September. |
1:31.9 | Now, this is kind of a big deal, right? |
1:33.6 | There's a lot going on. |
1:35.0 | And there's some insane Bond movie locations he's going to visit. |
1:39.0 | And some of the kind of core JBR family are going to be there. |
