Want to know the history of the Macau sex trade as shown in Skyfall? Come learn a history of sex trade that dates all the way back to 1583. Learn about how the Chinese and the Portuguese fought over Macau for over 400 years, and how casinos are the new "flower boats."
12 min - Episode 51 - The World Economic Forum
What exactly is the World Economic Forum and what is their agenda? In this episode, I go over many of the agendas of the WEF and a little of the history of the WEF. With world leaders in Davos now, it is a great time to discuss what is the WEF and how the WEF could easily be a storyline for Bond 26.
20 min - Episode 50 - With a Mind To Kill - MK Ultra and CIA Mind Control
In With a Mind To Kill, James Bond finds himself brainwashed and under the mind control of SMERSH. If you've read the book, you know the story, but what you may never have heard is that the CIA ran a secret program during the Cold War to see if they could brainwash and control the mind. In this story, you'll hear of everything frome- LSD use to statsanctioned prostitution.

- Episode 29 - Spectre - The NdranghetaEpisode 30 is out!!! Spectre and the NdranghetaThis episode is a fascinating history of the world's more powerful criminal enterprise that you probably have never heard of. Operating for almost 150 years now the Ndrangheta has amassed a network that creates $60 billion a year of revenue and accounts for 3% of Italy's GDP. This is done from kidnapping, extortion, drug trade, political corruption, human smuggling and prostitution. This has all been accomplished while being relatively secret. Their meeting place is even right out of a James Bond story in a lair that would make Blofield jealous.18 min
About Quantum of History
From the publisher's feed
In every James Bond 007 movie there's not only a great story, but there's rich real life history. This podcast is dedicated to not only talking about the movies, but telling the real life history that…
inspired the movie. Its my love of James Bond and my love of history combined into one podcast.
