Fanning Out: The James Bond Franchise

This is a podcast explicitly about the craft of writing—except when it’s not.For these “Fanning Out” bonus episodes, Ted is joined by his videographer pal Matthew Simmons not to talk about things they’ve made but rather to revel in the work of others and what it can teach us.Like the show’s regular episodes, it’s a celebration of human creativity (or something that sounds 71 percent less corny). Here, they’re just doing it from the perspective of fans, and they’re going beyond books and writing to dive into TV, movies, music, and whatever else they can credibly find an excuse to discuss.There are categories. There are digressions. And today, there is the James Bond movie franchise: the good, the bad, and the ugly—not to mention the unexpected, the uncomfortable, and one all-timer of a video game.More information about Ted and his books is available on his website, thetedfox.com.
