But I am a sporting man! I will give you a head start of some forty-five minutes, and you may choose your weapons: either an army of invisible soldiers; a shape-changer from beyond the stars; or a streetwise wizard. Do be quick about it, we wouldn’t want to run afoul of the size-changing… ah, but that would be telling, wouldn’t it? There must be some surprises in podcasting, as in life, dear guest. Let the games begin—and to the victor, the spoils! Music: “The Complex” by Kevin MacLeod “Winter Chimes” by Kevin MacLeod

So when a young reporter named Cheryl Crowe (different spelling!) starts poking her nose into some hay bailing related deaths at the annual pumpkin festival, she quickly finds herself at the corner ... of DOOM! Will Crowe follow the winding road and unravel the mystery behind Doom Corner's death rate? Or will she discover that the last cut is also pretty deep?

Can a band of extremely old friends solve this mystery, or will this be the thing that, after the entire past century, does them in? Can Plot Device improvise a story that doesn’t feature anybody between the ages of 25 and 80? How do you use a reverse phone directory?

When a dictator is assassinated, and MI-6 can't be sure they didn't do it, there's only one man they trust to resolve a geopolitical crisis: a high functioning alcoholic, sociopathic spy whose identity is public knowledge. Can a contemporary Bond movie still contain a secret volcano lair? Does Bond know that a shaken martini actually dilutes the alcohol with water? Will Bond survive his greatest villain: skepticism of his narrative tropes? Plot Device was denied a license to kill, but has a gift certificate for a hot stone massage which is much more useful, in … BOND 25!
