Returning guests Kurt Schiller and Chris Woodward join us to discuss James Bond's first foray into a post-Cold War world, 'GoldenEye' featuring two notable "firsts": Pierce Brosnan's debut as the international super spy and the first Bond film helmed by director Martin Campbell (who would return to update Bond again for a post-9/11 audience with 'Casino Royale').

We discuss the troubled history of the series' 17th entry that saw the exit of previous two-time Bond Timothy Dalton, how Pierce Brosnan's take on the iconic character appeals to the 90s fetishization of the business class, and why the film's embrace of a post-Soviet setting- refreshingly- doesn't feel quite like a victory lap.

This week's guest is legendary music producer and hotelier Chris Blackwell. From starting Island Records and bringing Jamaican singer Bob Marley to the mainstream to founding  the Jamaican luxury hotel collection Island Outpost, Chris has dedicated his career to celebrating Jamaica's vibrant culture and natural beauty. Learn why the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame dubbed him “the single person most responsible for turning the world on to reggae music” and about his stunning properties, which include the acclaimed GoldenEye Resort on Oracabessa Bay initially owned by James Bond author Ian Fleming. Melissa Biggs Bradley sits down with Chris to talk about his music career, his work as an innovative hotelier, and the role he played in the revival of Miami's South Beach.

Melissa also shares her incredible knowledge and experiences in the Caribbean on another installment of Ask Melissa, answering listener questions about hotels, restaurants, shopping, and the best islands for different types of getaways.

For the second part of our Bond Double Bill, Rob has chosen his first cinematic 007 experience.  He's gone all Brosnan with 1995's GOLDENEYE.  Will it be onatopp of his list of Bond films, or is it a has-Bean?  And if you think those jokes are painful, just you wait!

'E' is for Edward Elgar, a wonderful English composer, who gave us 'Land of Hope and Glory'; or rather the music 'Pomp and Circumstance' (known sometimes in the USA as 'the graduation tune') which was put to words by the old Etonian A.C. Benson. If you're not sure what an 'old Etonian' is, don't worry, I cover that too. 

I cover a range of other 'E's as well, so settle in for a good one!
