Hello, dear listeners!

Ah, the 1980s. What a decade! The music, the clothing styles, the cumbersome technology that we all thought was so cool at the time\u2026Oh, speaking of glorious 80s technology, hosts Mathieu and Edgar take the first of many, many steps into the world of John Gardner\u2019s literary 007. Yes friends, the hosts are in it to win it with Mr. Gardner, although they don\u2019t really have choice since he wrote a billion novels and they have self-acquitted themselves with the goal of discussing Fleming, the films, and everything in between. The first book is Licence Renewed.

It\u2019s time to get ready and embrace new allies, new villains, new adventures, and most critically, a new writing style. True enough, not everyone can be as wonderfully florid as the great Ian Fleming, but that doesn\u2019t mean other authors can\u2019t conjure up some thrilling missions for everybody\u2019s favourite super spy to embark on. While we won\u2019t reveal just yet what the hosts thought of the book, suffice to say that Licence Reneweddefinitely inspired a laundry list of hot topics: Who do the hosts imagine as James Bond when reading? Do we have another amorphous blob on our hands? Why would Licence Renewedmake anybody think of the film She\u2019s All That? Could there be another, albeit tenuous literary Bond link our Belle Province? Did we just witness the greatest gun-c*ck analogy ever? And what is up with all the tech talk?

We hope you like John Gardner. Heh, we really, really, really hope you like John Gardner because he\u2019ll be hanging around for a while! Rest assured, even if you much prefer the efforts of Ian Fleming, Matt and Edgar will keep you enthralled. They\u2019re ready and pumped to discover Gardner. Time to go nuclear!
