British Culture: Albion Never Dies

Don't be shy, send me a message!Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler review of the latest 007 film! Hopefully you've all had the time to go and see it by now! Donnie of 'Quantum of History' (on Instagram and Youtube) joins me for an in-depth reflection. We're looking at the broader strokes, issues and choices raised by the 25thJames Bond film from EON Productions. If you haven't checked out Donnie's work, please do (you can occasionally find me there too). Quantum of History looks at the real historical issues touched on by the adventures of our favourite super-spy. I find they really add the the enjoyment of the books and films.

SPOILER! review of No Time to Die with Chris Morales (Instagram and Youtube’s “That One Bond Guy”) who has also appeared on TV as a major Bond fan! ***Do not listen unless you have seen the film, we get into major spoilers pretty quick!***It was great to have Chris on again! He was previously a guest for the episode "Britishness as viewed from California". We held this episode back until the release of the new 007 film in Australia, so if you’ve seen the film sit back and enjoy.

Don't be shy, send me a message!Our deepest dive yet! Caine in Fuzhou (China) joins me to talk about Britain, but not just London. We share with each other our own experiences travelling in the UK, beyond just London. As with most episodes with Caine, this episode is a recording of a call between the USA and China. The call quality was fantastic *compared to the usual* so I’ve kept this an ‘editing lite’ episode. Often, I will cut out pauses, gaps, and any technical oddities, but this conversation was so smooth and natural, I’ve done very little with it ‘in post’. Welcome to my world!In this episode, we talk about cities that mean a lot to us (such as Bradford for me), the North-South divide, the natural beauty of Britain, and ponder what *exactly* is in an English breakfast.  Check out my Youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/britishcultureCheck out Caine's Youtube channelhttp://https://youtube.com/videosbycaineCheck out my Red Bubble shop:https://www.redbubble.com/people/british-cultureMessage me anytime on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/flemingneverdies/or e-mail:AlbionNeverDies@gmail.comIf you'd like to buy me a coffee to help fuel these episodes:patreon.com/britishculture  Support the showhttps://www.albionneverdies.com/
