Summary

It's the first podcast of 2020. Happy New Year!

James Bond Radio was privileged recently to get the chance to swap recognition codes and wag chins with the head of the Smershpod podcast, Mr. John Rain. With 90+ episodes under his belt on all manner of films, including all of the Bonds, and now his first book, Thunderbook, The World of Bond According to Smershpod, hitting the stores, John talked to Dan about his love of Bond, the reasons for starting his podcast, turning it into a paper version and what the future holds for Smershpod.

JBR will be putting it's feet up, and taking a break next week, but we'll be back on the 17th with more Bond-tastic action!
