Have you found Bond in your travels? As I travel for work during my busy season, I think back on all the instances where I was in random places that brought Bond to the front of my mind. And no, not in the obvious places like your local martini bar. But more those places where any other human being would not see a Bond connection...except for you. Have you had those moments in your travels? I certainly have.

It's been an incredible year at Idiot Bond Fan and in the world of James Bond 007. Never when we launched back in January did I think it would all amount to this. Event host, website moderator, award nominee, regular contributor and collaborator, Bond friend; I don't know how I've found time to sleep, but it's been very personally rewarding.

In tonight's first year wrap-up show, I'll discuss all the incredible highs (and some defining challenges) of becoming a new voice in the Bond Fan Community. We'll cover some of the highlights in Bond news across 2025 and things we can look forward to in 2026. But most importantly, I'll shower you all with my appreciation and gratitude for helping me launch this journey. Here's to an incredible year to come as a Bond fan!

Spin the wheel (or turn it if you will!). Every Bond actor has had it...that moment when their time as 007 expires. There are some commonalities to explore here, a few conspiracy theories, and a financial overview of Bond salaries that makes no sense whatsoever. Let's explore when things turned for each actor, and what if anything, we can learn about how things may play out in the future for the next one.
