British Culture: Albion Never Dies

What is 'British-ness'? This podcast explores all aspects of British culture from the perspective of an Englishman previously based in China and Turkey. Perhaps you know Thomas Felix Creighton already from Instagram's @FlemingNeverDies centered on Ian Fleming's classic creation, James Bond, 007. Here, we can see a wider background of where our British hero sits.

    A college course in British culture
    A love for Bond brought me to this podcast but I stay for Thomas’ fantastic way of educating me on all things British. Have had many questions answered through this wonderful podcast. Thomas’ charm and delivery are a must for not only Bond fans but those wanting to broaden their horizons in British culture, traditions, and lifestyle. Love every episode. Cheers.

    Infinitely interesting!
    I tend to be a bit of an Anglophile since most of my entertainment comes from the UK. Comedy includes Rowan Atkinson, the IT crowd and anything Jack Whitehall is up to. Music; the Cure, the Smiths, Depeche Mode, etc. sports Formula 1! McLaren! Yes and Lewis Hamilton. So learning more about this wonderful place that provides so much wonderful art, comedy and entertainment has been a real pleasure. Thomas’s style and wit is extremely enjoyable to listen to and he has many wonderful anecdotes and a wealth of information to share. Oh, I don’t want to forget one of my favorite British hobbies, Bond, James Bond!
