The new Word Podcast is available to download for free right now

Fresh out of the oven this morning comes Word Weekly number 31 in which our film critic Jim White tells us what we should make sure people buy for us on DVD this Christmas, we wonder whether the Resale Rights Society is actually going to make any difference to ticket touting, whether Dolly Parton can fight illiteracy in Rother-Ham and what happened when Bruno Brooks and Bob Harris went to court over a record collection, With Mark Ellen, David Hepworth and Matt Hall.

Christmas recommendation

Loved the podcast as always, but the James Stewart Collection isn't available until mid-January according to Amazon.
It would be late even for a Russian Christmas present.

Casino Boogie

Thought Casino Royale was, as you say, very impressive. I've seen the middle Bourne film, but can't for the life of me remember anything about it (and my Sunday afternoons are rather sedate nowadays. Certainly since the incident on the steamy summer afternoon with the chilled white wine, The White Album, and the 'painkilling' jazz-gaspers that we'd obtained for my soon-to-be-late father-in-law).
I'd remembered Diamonds are Forever with some fondness, so Sky-plussed it the other Saturday. I'd like to advise anyone who held it in similar regard to tread carefully in the opposite direction. While pinching my nose, I have to report that it hasn't worn well.

And yet

In many ways, it's the perfect Bond film: a Roger Moore film with Sean Connery in it.

But please

don't ask me to watch it again.

Podcast

As I am at university and no internet access unless it's on the uni network, is there anyway to get the Word Podcast without going through iTunes (banned by uni)?
