In this episode, I explore additional dimensions of James Bond's haptic (or touch-based) encounters. I discuss the depiction of Bond's body as technical, memorializing, and calculating focusing on such elements as cars, iconography, and omni-competency. Beyond corporeality (or the physical form), I consider how touch is conveyed metaphorically in the series through the expectation that Bond will "keep in touch" during his mission as well as the depiction of Bond as being "out of touch" in certain films/eras. For a detailed discussion, see my book with Klaus Dodds on the Geographies, Genders, and Geopolitics of James Bond (Palgrave MacMillan 2017): https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9781349848812
