For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. They deserve to survive. https://www.gofundme.com/f/a8jzz-help-me-and-my-family-get-out-of-the-gaza-strip https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate ----- Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon!https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ WEB DESIGN ALERT Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

0:00.0	Hi, listeners. This is Abby. Today we're going to be watching a film called The People's Joker,
0:04.2	which is very indie. It was kind of made with a lot of love. It's a little bit scrappy in places.
0:09.7	And it kind of relates to something that I was listening to this morning. I was listening to
0:13.7	an episode of one of my favorite podcasts, Never Post. And they were doing a roundtable discussion

0:28.2	Nobody can get sponsorships anymore.
0:29.9	There's no ad money anymore.

I did have to download NordVPN to watch this movie, so if you want to hit me up about that. Yeah, nobody's approaches to run it out.
1:11.5	No big podcasting production company has ever reached out to us or asked to acquire us or
1:16.6	anything.
1:17.4	And like, we do live shows occasionally and they're like, the audiences are fucking great.
1:21.5	So it's weird that like we're doing like really well.
1:26.9	Every listener of Kil James Bond Bond counts as 100 normal podcast listeners.
