This week on Music of Bond, the tuxedos come off, and we turn the “Live” dial up to 11. Hosts JW and Chris Wood take you on 007 Live, a deep dive into the live, hair-raising performances of the iconic James Bond theme tunes. From thunderous brass blasts to sultry strings and crowd-raising crescendos, we explore how Bond’s music transforms when it leaves the studio and hits the concert hall. Which performances absolutely understood the assignment? And what is it about the live sound that makes you want to order a martini immediately? Tune in and find out.

Welcome to the annual MOB Holiday episode—a celebration that’s shaken, not stirred! In true MOB style, we just couldn’t resist diving back into On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. After all, what are the holidays without a little George Lazenby? This is the ultimate Bond Christmas, and you’re invited to our second-ever MOB watchalong party with JW, Chris Wood, and the legendary Tom Sears from James Bond Radio. It’s the present every Bond fan dreams of! So grab your favorite format—laserdisc, VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, or your digital copy of OHMSS—and get ready to join our commentary ride. Think of us as your holiday bonus feature, complete with laughs, trivia, and plenty of cheer. No matter how you watch, we’ll help you sync the film perfectly, or just kick back and listen to the podcast—because you already know every scene! Happy Holidays, and may your season be as epic as the Bond Bobleigh chase, from all of us at Music of Bond and James Bond Radio!

Welcome to Season 2 of Music of Bond. We are officially back in real-time! Join JW and Chris Wood as they catch up, properly, on Chris’s new addition to his family, how the Skyfall red vinyl brought JW back into the fold, and a recap of the last six batch episodes, all recorded last spring and early summer. We read all of your emails, DMs, and comments—a lot of ground to cover. And as requested, we cover ours and yours deep, deep love for the LA-LA Land release of Thunderball. Thank you, everyone, for your continued support of the MOB community. We appreciate you.

Of note, this episode was recorded the day before LA-LA Land announced Mookraker on vinyl.

All aboard for the maiden voyage of “Bond on Vinyl!” Chris Wood has finally earned his captain’s license to spin records, so batten down the hatches—Radio Caroline, you’ve got competition. This episode, we take a deep dive into Chris’s legendary 7-inch collection (cue the inevitable jokes). Expect killer A-sides, wild B-sides, and a remix so catchy you’ll be humming it for weeks. And in classic Chris fashion, he puts JW on the spot with a barrage of get-to-know-you questions he never saw coming. Hop on deck and enjoy the musical adventure!

Sears, Tom Sears...is back on MOB in what can only be called the most anticipated James Bond Podcast ever. SNEAKY BOND. Mic drop. You heard me, Tommy-Gun Sears has carefully curated his top favorite Sneaky Bond tunes of all time. For those of you in the know, this show has been nearly a decade in the making. Play this show loud. Enough said.

Welcome to the very first MOB film watchalong! Why should filmmakers have all the fun? Grab your physical media—laserdisc, VHS, DVD, Blu-ray—or your digital copy of Dr. No and join us as we talk over the movie. Think of it as your own MOB Bonus Feature. No matter how you choose to watch, we’ll guide you through syncing the film perfectly. Or, if you prefer, just listen to the podcast on its own—you already know the film! Enjoy.

Welcome to our end-of-the-summer extravaganza! We're heading back to the beach one last time before the sun sets on summer—SPF not included. After all, where would James Bond be without a legendary beach scene? From Sean Connery’s suave strolls to Daniel Craig’s iconic swim trunks, the sand and surf are as essential as the Aston Martin. But we have to ask: why was Timothy Dalton always so buttoned up? Maybe the world just wasn’t ready for those pecs. So grab your favorite beach drink, put on your sunglasses, and join us for a sun-soaked Bond bash. Dive in and enjoy the ultimate beachside Bond celebration!
