The James Bond A-Z Podcast
Hosted by Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, Tom Wheatley · EN
Hosted by lifelong James Bond fans – film journalist Tom Butler, journalist Tom Wheatley, and film industry professional Brendan Duffy – The James Bond A-Z Podcast is an encyclopaedic introduction to the people behind the world’s greatest spy film franchise. Each episode covers the key creatives and characters from every James Bond film from 1962’s 'Dr No' to 2021’s 'No Time To Die', talking about Ken Adam to Max Zorin, and everything in-between. The show shines a light on every aspect of the filmmaking process answering many of the questions you always wanted to ask about the 007 films, and we are occasionally joined by guests who offer a unique perspective on the films.
