Dr Ian Kinane is the editor of the International Journal of James Bond Studies and an expert on all things 007. He is also a Reader in Literature and Popular Culture here at Roehampton. In this week’s show, he talks about his roots in Dublin, his tips on how to manage an academic career, and, of course, his take on Bond - or, more precisely, on the complicated relationship between Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming, and the people of Jamaica.
