Show Notes
"What might begin as a thoughtful dive into an adjacent world of 007 fast becomes a rich, colourful and compelling manifesto about the queer DNA of a cultural icon– with LGBTQ names and beats, such as Lionel Bart, Richard Chopping, Truman Capote, Peter Hunt, Tom Ford, Doris Fish, Harvey Milk, John Sex, the AIDS crisis, the ballroom scene, pop art icons, and many more, forming the rainbow crosshairs of this book." Welcome back... to THE BOND CORNER. Your host A. J. Black, joined by special guests, takes you on a regular journey into the expansive world of 007, looking at the books, movies, games and wider subjects around the character and his universe.
