Bond Again

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Bond Again podcast!
In this episode we dive into the latest Bond casting updates, revisit Dalton’s entries in the 007 canon, inflict Never Say Never Again on some unsuspecting friends, and ask whether AI should ever be used to bring about alternative Bond adventures.
We also come bearing an exploding attaché case of Bond news - including La-la Land Records, First Light and an in-memoriam section - and a crocodile submersible full of nonsense. Thanks as ever for following us over on Instagram at @bondagainpod - we love hearing your thoughts on the show.
Thanks for listening!
