Description

Welcome to JBCI Pod, where Bond fans—both seasoned agents and fresh recruits—come together for a deep dive into all things 007, with an unmistakable Irish twist.

From the silver screen to the bookshelf, video games to collectibles, lifestyle to music, we’re covering the entire Bond universe. Expect guest interviews, breaking Bond news, deep dives, reviews, and plenty of lively banter.

We’ll explore everything from Connery to Craig, Fleming to Fanning, and martinis to Aston Martins. Plus, we’re uncovering Ireland’s surprising connections to the world of 007—Bond producers, screenwriters, rogue managers, and even actors with Irish ties. You might be shocked at just how deep the Irish roots of Bond really go.

So, grab your tux, pour a perfectly shaken Martini, and join us for the Bond pod you never knew you needed.

JBCI is back after our summer break. We’re kicking off our next series of podcasts with a Daniel Craig retrospective. The 6th 007 made 5 films over 15 years and took Bond to a more human, grounded and bruising place. It’s been 4 years since we last had a 007 movie, so we discuss how the Craig era is holding up. Is it all melodrama, trauma and tight-fitting suits? Or a refreshingly relatable character pushing himself to the limits? We thrash it out. You decide.Find us on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/978613002937812Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamesbondclubireland/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JamesBondClubIreland
