Hi, this is Roger Moore and you're listening to James Bond Radio.

Hello and welcome to James Bond Radio. My name's Tom Sears. Happy New Year. How you doing?

Hope you had a nice Christmas and, you know, Father Christmas brought you all the presents that you wanted and all that kind of stuff.

I hope you're sticking with your New Year's resolutions and

and 2023 is going to be your year and all of that great stuff. Yeah, I thought I would jump on

today and just kind of fill you in a little bit, I guess, on what's going on with JBR. Obviously,

it's been a while and, you know, over a year now since our last podcast.

And yeah, so basically, you know, we finished up our no time to die coverage, fully intended

to come back in the spring. We were going to come back in April and crack on. Then various things

it is what it is. So yeah, from my perspective, I think, you know, your Bond fandom comes in

waves, doesn't it? You know, you have a period in life where it's at fever pitch and you're watching Bond all the time and you're doing all the stuff and you're listening

to the podcasts and the audiobooks and all that kind of stuff. And then, you know, various

times in life come up where, you know, other things take precedence and become sort of more important

and Bond takes a backseat. It's happened to be multiple times in my life. And, and yeah, and truth be told, I've sort of, for a little while now, I've kind of sensed

that one of those kind of dip periods would be coming up where other stuff is, is, sort of

takes over and Bond becomes sort of less of a focus for a while, basically. So yeah, so truth be
