KGB Literati: Spy Fiction and State Security in the Soviet Union (University of Toronto Press, 2025) offers a first-ever glimpse into the mysterious and long-ignored world and work of Soviet spies- and counterspies-turned-writers. Once out of active service, many former spies have turned to writing spy fiction. They drop the dagger and pick up the pen. Some are very successful, like James Bond's creator Ian Fleming or the novelists John Le Carré and Graham Greene. Their Soviet counterparts have rarely been afforded the same attention or examination. Drawing on materials from KGB archives and Soviet publications long out of print, KGB Literati offers the first-ever account of spy fiction written, frequently with institutional support, by Soviet intelligence and counterintelligence officers. Spy fiction can give insights into the operational workings of clandestine agencies and the personal dimensions of secret service work. By analysing the literary output of KGB spies and counterspies, the book shows that for the KGB, this type of intervention into Soviet popular culture was a crucial component of their overall counterintelligence strategy. These texts played an instrumental role in the Soviet state's efforts to neutralize and counter Western cultural influences on the Soviet population. Dr. Filip Kovacevic's research is of great relevance today, given that a large segment of the Russian ruling elite is still composed of former KGB officers, including Russian president Vladimir Putin. KGB Literati illuminates the deep-seated KGB myths, values, aspirations, and fears that continue to have a profound impact on the foreign and domestic policies of the Russian Federation. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This Christmas, we're revisiting one of our favorite spy stories. Each December, a giant tree lights up London's Trafalgar Square. Behind the custom: 007 author Ian Fleming and a secret mission to Norway. This is the story of how wartime espionage gave Britain its most spectacular festive tradition.The Spy Who will take a short break, and will be back with a brand new season on the 6th of January 2026. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, pour yourself something strong and cue up the underwater jet packs—we're celebrating 60 years of Thunderball.In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, we dive back into the 1965 Bond spectacle to see how it holds up six decades later, from its lavish action set pieces to its larger-than-life villainy and unmistakable Sean Connery swagger. But the martini isn't just shaken—we crack open the pages too. Along the way, we compare the film to Ian Fleming's Thunderball novel, breaking down what the movie keeps, what it changes, and whether the story works better on the page or on the screen.To keep things properly cinematic, we're also tasting and reviewing all three new Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series bourbons, exploring how each expression differs and which one deserves a spot on your shelf for your next Bond marathon.It's classic Bond, thoughtful comparisons, and serious bourbon talk—because some anniversaries deserve both a rewatch and a refill.

Seasonal switch! After over a decade of looking back at various high-grossing summer movies, we've done something different for 1995. Though we had our usual 20-years-ago and 40-years-ago flashback episodes about the summers past, we also ventured into the HOLIDAY CORRIDOR of 30 years ago to look at the biggest movies first released in November and December 1995, an eclectic bunch that includes three (!) comedy sequels, a seminal crime picture, a prescient sci-fi freakout, Ian Fleming's 007, a pointless remake, and more! Join us as we mix our own memories of '95 with our recent revisitations of classics and non-classics alike. 

The IMMP 2025 Holiday Road Trip continues with a tale of danger, intrigue, espionage, violence, regime change, and romance ... in the form of a movie for children. A kid's movie from the mind of Ian Fleming. It's the beloved Dick Van Dyke (Happy 100th Birthday, sir!) in CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG.

On Episode 143 of The Film ‘89 Podcast it's that time of year again. Towards the end of every year since 2022, Film ‘89 has celebrated the 60th anniversary of a James Bond film. In 2022 we started with Dr. No, in 2023 we covered From Russia With Love and last year we covered Goldfinger. Now Skye and one of the greatest film poster artists working in the business today, Tony Stella, return to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the fourth James Bond film, Thunderball, which had its world premiere in Tokyo, Japan on December 9th 1965. Thunderball came out at the very peak of Bondmania. Sean Connery was approaching mega star status and the books and films were as popular as they would ever be. Made on a budget that was more than the combined budgets of the previous three films, Thunderball was a hugely ambitious film with complex underwater action sequences the likes of which audiences had never seen before and it would go on to become the most successful Bond film ever, and based on ticket sales alone, it still is. So get on your wetsuit, pick up your spear-gun and join Skye and Tony as they take the deep dive on what they feel is one of the most underrated of all James Bond films.

Send us a textJames Bond meets Harry Potter in this episode of our series. Two favorites of mine from across the pond in this special edition. Ian Fleming's writing tips emphasize speed, research, clarity, and sensory detail to keep the reader engaged and "turn over the page". He wrote primarily for "pleasure and money," aiming to create compelling thrillers rather than "Literature with a capital L". Here are his key writing tips and habits:The Writing ProcessWrite Fast and Never Look BackEdit LaterEstablish a Routine Style and ContentBlend Fact with Fantasy: Use real-world facts, locations, and brand names to ground the more fantastical plot elements in reality. This gives the story authenticity and stimulates the reader's senses, a technique known as the "Fleming effect".Prioritize Clarity and ConcisionFocus on Sensory Details:  Describe food, drink, clothes, and locations to provide a vivid, vicarious experience.Create Strong VillainsHook the Reader: The most important rule: "You have to get the reader to turn over the page". He used plot hooks (often involving sex or violence) at the end of chapters to compel the reader to continue.Vary Sentence LengthListen to Your Audience: Fleming was sensitive to feedback from his readers and adjusted his approach based on their expectations, such as ensuring Bond traveled to exotic locations after a UK-only novel ( Moonraker). MindsetWrite for Pleasure and Money: He was unashamed about his motivations, believing a writer's life was a good one, offering a decent living if film deals and other rights were secured.Be Aware of the WorldView Writing as a Craft: He considered himself a "writer" rather than an "author" or "artist," viewing writing as a craft where one constantly learns by studying peers. J.K. Rowling emphasizes discipline, extensive planning, and resilience as core to her writing process. Her tips focus on the craft and the emotional connection to the story. Key writing tips from J.K. Rowling include:Read Extensively Rowling consistently advises aspiring writers to read as much as possible. This helps you analyze what works and what doesn't, discover your preferences, and eventually find your own distinctive voice.Plan Meticulously Rowling is a thorough planner who mapped out the entire seven-book Harry Potter series before completing the first novel, using detailed, color-coded spreadsheets and outlines. Knowing the overall arc and destination provides structure, allowing for creative freedom along the way.Be DisciplinedRewrite and Edit Develop Complex Characters Give characters flaws and contradictions, making them morally complex and realistic. This allows readers to relate to them on a deeper, more human level.Write What You Know (Emotionally) While not a literal tip to only write from personal experiences, Rowling suggests drawing from your own emotions, truths, and instincts. She used her personal struggles with depression as the raw material for the Dementors, for example.Minimize Adverbs Be Resilient a Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

The 1960s were a defining era for James Bond, and much of that success came from its unforgettable villains. In this episode, we dive deep into How James Bond Villains of the 1960s shaped the 007 franchise, exploring the masterminds who turned spy thrillers into global phenomena. From the calculating genius of Ernst Stavro Blofeld to the gold-obsessed Auric Goldfinger, these characters didn't just challenge Bond—they set the standard for cinematic villains for decades to come. We'll examine how these antagonists influenced the tone, style, and storytelling of the early Bond films. Why did Blofeld become the ultimate symbol of evil? How did Goldfinger's obsession with wealth redefine villainy? And what about Rosa Klebb? How did she add psychological depth to espionage drama? Each villain brought unique traits that shaped Bond's evolution as a character and cemented the franchise's identity. This episode also looks at the cultural impact of these villains. Their extravagant lairs, iconic henchmen, and world-domination plots became templates for countless spy movies and even parodies. We'll uncover behind-the-scenes details, including casting choices, design decisions, and how Ian Fleming's novels influenced their on-screen portrayals. Whether you're a lifelong Bond fan or new to the series, this discussion offers fresh insights into why the 1960s villains remain legendary. They weren't just bad guys—they were trendsetters who defined an era of cinematic sophistication and suspense. Tune in to learn how these iconic adversaries shaped the legacy of 007 and why their influence still resonates in modern spy films.

Pour trouver le nom de son mythique espion, l'écrivain Ian Fleming s'est inspiré du nom d'un ornithologue américain. Il stockait d'ailleurs l'un de ses livres dans sa résidence secondaire de Jamaïque. Et vous connaissez tous son nom... GoldenEye. Ça c'est pour le nom de 007 mais pour le personnage, Fleming s'est aussi inspiré d'un homme, un vrai espion ! Il n'était pas Britannique mais Serbe. Et il s'appelait Dusko Popov... Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête.

Hello Hello Hello! Bond fan(atics) - Varun, Amartya and Sanjeet get together to discuss Timothy Dalton's interpretation of James Bond in The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989). Timothy Dalton has often been noted for bringing a darker, more serious, and gritty portrayal of the character that emphasized the realism from Ian Fleming's novels; a departure from the more lighthearted style of Roger Moore.They also discuss their hopes and expectations for Denis Villeneuve's upcoming Bond film set to release in a few years and speculate the future of the franchise.TIME CODESIntroduction - [00:00:00 - 00:10:00]Timothy Dalton as Bond - [00:10:01 - 00:25:00]"The Living Daylights" - [00:25:01 - 01:06:22]"Licence to Kill" - [01:06:23 - 01:37:00]"Future of James Bond" - [01:37:01 - 02:05:06]Outro - [02:05:07 - 02:14:53]Follow our Instagram page: https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.QID LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/queenisdeadAll Audio Excerpts have been used under the “Fair Use Provisions” of the Indian Copyright Act.

As one of the fantasy genre's most successful authors, R.A. Salvatore enjoys an ever-expanding and tremendously loyal following. His books regularly appear on The New York Times best-seller lists and have sold more than 30,000,000 copies. Salvatore's most recent original hardcover, The Two Swords, Book III of The Hunter's Blade Trilogy (October 2004) debuted at # 1 on The Wall Street Journal best-seller list and at # 4 on The New York Times best-seller list. His books have been translated into numerous foreign languages including German, Italian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Turkish, Croatian, Bulgarian, Yiddish, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Czech, and French. Salvatore's first published novel, The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988, became the first volume of the acclaimed Icewind Dale Trilogy and introduced an enormously popular character, the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden. Since that time, Salvatore has published numerous novels for each of his signature multi-volume series including The Dark Elf Trilogy, Paths of Darkness, The Hunter's Blades Trilogy, and The Cleric Quintet. His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Fitchburg State College in 1981, then returned for the degree he always cherished, the Bachelor of Arts in English. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic. Salvatore held many jobs during those first years as a writer, finally settling in (much to our delight) to write full time in 1990. The R.A. Salvatore Collection has been established at his alma mater, Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, containing the writer's letters, manuscripts, and other professional papers. He is in good company, as The Salvatore Collection is situated alongside The Robert Cormier Library, which celebrates the writing career of the co-alum and esteemed author of young adult books. Salvatore is an active member of his community and is on the board of trustees at the local library in Leominster, Massachusetts. He has participated in several American Library Association regional conferences, giving talks on themes including "Adventure fantasy" and "Why young adults read fantasy." Salvatore himself enjoys a broad range of literary writers including James Joyce, Mark Twain, Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dante, and Sartre. He counts among his favorite genre literary influences Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, Fritz Leiber, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien. Born in 1959, Salvatore is a native of Massachusetts and resides there with his wife Diane, and their three children, Bryan, Geno, and Caitlin. The family pets include three Japanese Chins, Oliver, Artemis and Ivan, and four cats including Guenhwyvar. When he isn't writing, Salvatore chases after his three Japanese Chins, takes long walks, hits the gym, and coaches/plays on a fun-league softball team that includes most of his family. His gaming group still meets on Sundays to play.

Hammersmith Farm, the Auchincloss home, is our destination, and 1963 is the time period we focus upon. There is a whole lot happening in the summer of 1963 for JFK, both politically and personally. Where do you think he would find the idea, and have the time to film a home movie predicting his own assassination this summer? This week begins the deep dive into this JFK mystery, with so many sticky spiderwebs into the world of Ian Fleming his James Bond character, Newport high society, and premonitions too.

Edmund co-founded Nightjar, a speakeasy cocktail bar with live music, in London with his life and business partner, Roisin Stimpson, in 2010, with its first head bartender being Marian Beke. Nightjar quickly stormed the lists of nominations, Best Bars, and more, and a lot of that success was due to Marian's incredible cocktail presentations, in bespoke vessels, using skill and flavour combinations that upped London's game significantly, and have since been copied widely. Hand-in-hand with that was Edmund and Rosie's laserlike focus on music, vibes and guest experience. Nightjar expanded to a second venue, then a third; they opened a larger version, named Oriole, then partnered with lauded operators Bobby Hiddleston and Mia Johansson to open Swift, an all-day, two-level bar concept that now has three branches in London. Me and Edmund sat down in a quiet moment during Bar Convent Berlin to catch up; I really enjoyed this, and I hope you do, too. Edmund on IG: https://www.instagram.com/edmundweil/?hl=enNightjar bars on IG: https://www.instagram.com/nightjar/?hl=enOriole bar on IG: https://www.instagram.com/theoriolebar/?hl=enSwift bars on IG: https://www.instagram.com/swiftbars/?hl=enShaken, a book on James Bond's cocktails co-authored by Edmund, himself a relative of Bond creator Ian Fleming: https://www.amazon.com/Shaken-Drinking-Fleming-Official-Cocktail/dp/0062896253/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.iVdqZa9NfDKKPUrxzWQbXVsUHoHeOji1AX4uLOuu5HuNiTu_Ge32Gvilj4xx6VEK.GUVrOCrMbhmQNB3gX5CZe6oMFWWdwKhAdP88A_y_rqU&dib_tag=se&keywords=shaken+bond+cocktail&qid=1760309343&sr=8-1 Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

¿James Bond existió en la vida real? Aunque el famoso espía británico es un personaje de ficción creado por Ian Fleming, su origen podría estar inspirado en figuras que desafiaron la realidad. En este episodio exploramos la vida de dos dobles agentes que marcaron la historia del espionaje: Juan Pujol García, “Garbo”, el hombre que engañó a Hitler con una red ficticia de informantes durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y Sidney Reilly, el llamado “Ace of Spies”, maestro del disfraz y las intrigas, que llegó a tener once pasaportes y cuya misión más arriesgada fue atentar contra Lenin.Un recorrido por las sombras de la historia que nos revela cómo la realidad, muchas veces, puede superar a la ficción.

Don't be shy, send me a message!Thomas Felix Creighton examines the Britishness of Timothy Dalton's first outing as Ian Fleming's creation, James Bond, 007.Part One: Brits in AfghanistanThomas touches on iconic imagery, such as the infamous painting, “The remnants of an army, Jellalabad [sic], January 13, 1842”, which is better known as just "Remnants of an Army". It was painted by Elizabeth Thompson, Lady Butler in 1878, and shows Dr. William Brydon, assistant surgeon in the Bengal Army, arriving at the gates of Jalalabad in January 1842. He was thought to be the only survivor of a massacre at The Khyber Pass. This is detailed in a book Thomas has recommended before, "The Great Game: The Struggle for Empire in Central Asia" by Peter Hopkirk, the chapter "Massacre in the Passes". For the sake of variety, Thomas reads from a book not previously covered in his episodes on the British Empire, namely, Jeremy Paxman's "Empire: What Ruling the World Did to the British".If it wasn't clear in the episode (Thomas has been down with a cold and is still a tiny bit fuzzy), the 'British' were fighting in Afghanistan mainly to forestall any Russian influence there, as it was seen as the gateway to India. Not so different from James Bond's objectives in the movie, I suppose.Part Two: A Potpourri of Britishness Covering a shop with a dress code, British technology, Aston Martins, and country estates. Thomas can't resist referencing an American court case, Leonard v. Pepsico, Inc. Give me a harrier jump jet, or I'll sue...Part Three: Fleming. Ian Fleming.Again, seeking some measure of variety, Thomas reads two short sections from "The Life of Ian Fleming" by John Pearson, Fleming's friend and biographer. Two further biographies were consulted, especially the ones by Nicholas Shakespeare and Andrew Lycett, but Pearson's was better on this occasion. Thomas also refer to a collection of Fleming's writing recently released, named, "Talk of the Devil", possibly getting the title wrong. If he does get it wrong, he blames the cold.Hungry for more?Check out episodes 133 & 134, all about Gibraltar thanks to my friend Caine, who spent a weekend on The Rock purely to help out my podcast.

“Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action,” according to Ian Fleming.

The plan was named Operation Cone of Power. Sounds militaristic. Possibly some kind of intelligence operation. Certainly had to be official. It was the summer of 1940 and Britain was bracing itself for a full-on invasion from German forces. A team of witches came together, lead by the Father of Witchcraft, Gerald Gardner, and worked their magick to push back against the Nazis. And as history documented, the Nazis never were able to invade Britain. Some may say it was the Luftwaffe's failure to defeat the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain that kept the Germans from taking Britain, but one really has to wonder, was it the witches? And what in the world did James Bond creator Ian Fleming have to do with all of this?

Dan and Tom compare the GOLDFINGER – novel vs movie.  How close is the movie to the novel, and how did the novel impact the franchise? Listen to find out! Many of the early Eon Productions James Bond movies were based on the novels written by Ian Fleming. Ian Fleming's seventh novel, “Goldfinger,” was used as the basis for the third Eon Productions James Bond movie of the same name.  In this episode, we decode the major differences between the novel and the movie.  We also look at some other James Bond movies that were influenced by the “Goldfinger” novel. Some of the things we discuss include: ·         The opening sequence in Miami ·         Catching Goldfinger cheating ·         Investigating Goldfinger ·         The Golf Match ·         Tilly Masterton/Masterson ·         James Bond's torture scene ·         The differing plots at Fort Knox ·         What was the poison GB from the novel? ·         Pussy Galore's role ·         What happened on Goldfinger's plane at the end ·         And of course, there are more. Links to episodes mentioned in this episode: ·         Our trip to Indiana University (Ian Fleming's manuscripts) ·         University of Iowa (Richard Maibaum Collection) Tell us what you think about our decoding GOLDFINGER – Novel vs Movie Finally, have you read the “Goldfinger” novel?  If so, did we miss any major differences? Which of these items were you surprised to see? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode.

Prepare to experience Ian Fleming's James Bond novels as if reading them for the first time in the year of publication, as we embark on this 007 James Bond literary adventure together. In this time‑travel special, the Spybrary crew—Shane, David Craggs, Andy Onyx, and Ian Douglas—journey back to 1964 to dissect Ian Fleming's latest novel, You Only Live Twice. They kick off by setting the scene: Bond mania is reaching fever pitch, with spy fiction booming, thanks to Ian Fleming, the Bond films are on a roll, and Fleming reported to be in very ill-heath. As the conversation delves into You Only Live Twice, be warned that the Spybrary panel expresses mixed feelings. They praise Fleming's immersive evocation of Japan and its culture,  but some criticize the sparse action, flimsy plot advancement (especially the “Magic 44” intel) and Blofeld's relatively abrupt demise.  From exotic Japan and ninja assassins to the novels shocking conclusion, we dissect culture, plot, and Blofeld's bizarre garden. Was this bold detour worth it? Tune in and find out!

Join Dan and Tom as they decode some James Bond influences from History and Literature.  Hint: Proust, Dostoevsky, and others may have played a part. Christopher Booker's “Seven Basic Plots” identifies the seven main plots that literature tends to stick to.  So, we look at some classic literature and its effect on the James Bond movies.  Consequently, there aren't very many different plots to contend with, and Eon Productions has retold the same plot multiple times in their movies.  What we will decode in this episode: ·         How do Proust's works parallel a character in the last two James Bond movies? There are multiple ways this character is paralleled in Proust's writing. ·         Can Tom stay awake while reading literature? ·         What real-world characters have helped shape the James Bond movies? ·         What themes in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE's Tania Romanova do we see carried over in future James Bond movies? ·         Who are some of the real-world characters who influence Ian Fleming's writings? ·         Do any of the James Bond movie characters have literary influences? ·         Do Purvis and Wade deserve any credit for CASINO ROYALE's literary influences? ·         And of course, much more. To sum up, there are many characters in literature and history that may have influenced some of the characters we find in the James Bond movies. Tell us what you think about our look at James Bond influences from history and literature. Did we get the right influences? Are there other literary references you would make?  If so, please let us know.  Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!   You can check out all of our CRACKING THE CODE OF SPY MOVIES podcast episodes on your favorite podcast app or our website.

Book Vs. Movie: “Goldfinger” The 1959 Ian Fleming Novel Vs the 1964 Sean Connery FilmIan Fleming's Goldfinger (1959) and its 1964 film adaptation featuring Sean Connery present one of James Bond's most iconic villains, but in very different styles. The novel is a gritty Cold War spy thriller, showcasing a vulnerable Bond who relies on his wits rather than gadgets. Goldfinger's scheme centers on a traditional gold heist from Fort Knox, with Pussy Galore leading a lesbian criminal gang, creating a darker tone. In contrast, the film, directed by Guy Hamilton, turns the story into flashy pop entertainment. Goldfinger's plan involves irradiating gold with a dirty bomb, and Pussy is reimagined as a glamorous pilot who falls in love with Bond. Connery's 007 is suave and nearly invincible, complete with a gadget-loaded Aston Martin DB5.Between the novel and the movie, which did the Margos like better? Have a listen to find out! In this episode, the Margos discuss:The life of Ian Fleming and Sean Connery's BondThe differences between the book and movie.The cast includes: Sean Connery (James Bond), Gert Frobe (Auric Goldfinger), Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore), Shirley Eaton (Jill Masterson), Bernard Lee (M), Harold Sakata (Oddjob), Martin Benson (Solo), Tania Mallet (Tilly), and Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny. Clips Featured:“Oddjob”Goldfinger (1964 trailer)“Pussy Galore and her gals”Shirley Bassey 1974 (Royal Albert Hall)“I expect you to do Mr. Bond”Music by John BarryFollow us on the socials!Join our Patreon page “Book Vs.

James Bond, the most infamous secret agent ever to grace the silver screen, originated in the pages of British author Ian Fleming's novels. Amateur agents Josh and Chuck uncover all sorts of Bond trivia in this action-packed episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bogus sex parties, fake corpses, exploding tin cans and belligerent pigs. If you thought that James Bond's fictional escapades were outrageous, then the real-life experiences of his creator, Ian Fleming, are arguably even more extraordinary. Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, Edward Abel Smith reveals how Fleming's work as a wartime intelligence officer inspired the plotlines in his world-famous spy novels.
