James McLean and Christian Cawley reconvene this week to discuss the events surrounding Amazon's purchase of Eon, and the resulting rumours. While we unsurprisingly dwell on the tempting notion of Pierce Brosnan returning as an older James Bond, there is also time to discuss the world of Bond spin-offs.

What is the Podcasthon?
James and Christian were approached to take part in the Podcasthon some weeks ago, and thought it was a great thing to do. Each podcast taking part selects a charity (ours is CentrePoint), and records a podcast specifically for the event. The Podcasthon team then use social media to spot our tagging of the podcast, and share it, and the drive raises awareness of all the charities selected by the podcasters.
Originally a French-language "athon", the Podcasthon is being done by hundreds of podcasts this year, and we're in very esteemed company, so we've tried to behave. As this is a special podcast, the Spotify/Apple version will be identical this week.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
