We have EMPs, perverted hackers (aka hackers), Q-Branch having way too much fun, and Bond gets Onatopp of a lecherous villain.

When Brad from Q Branch Woodwork spins a piece of wood into a masterpiece, it's not just a craft; it's an act of transformation. Today's conversation takes us through the whirl of woodturning, where danger and beauty dance together on the lathe, revealing how Brad's signature creations have become a heartbeat for the Fremont community. Discover the nuances of working with wood at high speeds, the well-oiled dance between maker and machine, and the anticipation of larger projects with Brad's upcoming lathe upgrade, a promise of grander artistry on the horizon.Navigating a path from idle pandemic hobbyist to a thriving online business, Brad's story is a testament to the power of passion and persistence. His journey, much like the art of podcasting, highlights the significance of presentation and the meticulous attention to detail—whether it's in shaping stunning wood bowls or crafting conversations that captivate your mind. Join us as we explore the shared dedication that goes into creating things of beauty and value, be it through the microphone or the hands of a skilled wood artisan.In this episode, we celebrate the intersection of handcrafted goods and the community that embraces them. We step into the challenges of standing out in a marketplace like Etsy, where quality and design become the lifeblood of a woodturner's craft. But it's not just about the products; it's about a dream to weave this art into the fabric of Fremont, to open a storefront in Niles that's more than a shop, and perhaps one day, transitioning from passion to full-time pursuit. Witness the journey, the craft, and the community in an episode that's all about the beauty of wood and the hands that shape it.If you want to seen more or learn more about Brad Bond and his amazing woodturning work, check out his website here.

A blue(!) title card leads into our show. The Jedi have intercepted a Separatist transmission that they are unable to decode. They plan an undercover mission to steel an encryption module using troops the Separatists would never expect - droids! (Although the Separatists have used undercover droids before...). The droids will be led by Lilliputian Republic strategist Colonel Meebur Gascon, making his first foray into field command! His team, D-Squad, consists of 4 astromechs: R2-D2; Aayla Secura's QT-KT, Thongla Jur's U9-C4, and Tera Sinube's M5-BZ, as well as Clone Commander Neyo's pilot droid, WAC-47. Gascon lays out the plans for the heist and the astromechs are outfitted with their special weapons from Q Branch, which are cool tech for most of them and a lobotomy for BZ. Are droids people? They depart for the Separatist fleet and are brought aboard the dreadnought. When BZ gets killed (?) breaking into the comm-vault, they have to shift to plan B, which is apparently just R2 opening the door instead. They make it to the vault in time to be caught by droids. The battle and/or wacky hijinks rages! After a brief bout of zero-G hilarity, R2 recovers the encryption chip _and_ executes an avalanche senton on a super tactical droid.The droids recover BZ with the intent to repair him on the shuttle. Which they walk to and fly away on without being interrupted because nothing unusual is happening on this ship and the shuttle we just captured is allowed to leave. Colonel Gason congratulates himself, and, a bit backhandedly, the rest of the team.BZ is being worked on by the droidy dozen, dirty droidzen? We'll fix it in post. Gascon Zilkinsplains the mission and R2 looms over him. iMurdering Kalani and some droids either sated his lust for blood or whetted his appetite. Meebur better watch his back.WAC flies into a comet storm and the autopilot decides that maybe this is the time for some out of the box thinking and hits every comet it can. Just crazy enough to work. R2 decides that QT and U9 are useful (see Russian prison slang: Milk Cow) so he saves them.D squad crash lands on a salt planet, and R2 keisters the decoder chip. The planet is flat, smooth and barren, but for droids with wheels its basically paradise. R2 takes off and the mutiny has begun. Gascon reduces droids to programming and WAC makes a pretty good point that Gascon's training isn't that much different. Gascon backs into the fact that droids aren't any different than organics and then conveniently changes the subject.Our heroes stumble on another downed ship and I'm not going to ruin this for Jared: We get a pretty sweet cameo!Gascon questions his unthinking adherence to a useless ethos. Because the Mortis arc allowed the Force to punch a hole through into the galaxy, the Force chooses this moment to unleash some Perfectly Normal Beasts to save Gascon and WAC. Lessons are learned and one of them is that R2 is probably the only fully actualized being in the universe because he's already found civilization.Gascon proves he's learned nothing and instead of treating WAC like a peer conscripts him into the same outmoded way of thinking that almost got them killed. WAC has also learned nothing and tries to pull rank on R2. Fortunately for him, R2 believes in the motto: frag a mouthy droid, and you've murdered for a day, bury your rage and complete the mission and the continued war allows you to murder for a lifetime.https://twitter.com/ClosingCrawlhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/closing-crawl/id1530133296https://www.closingcrawl.com/Merch at: https://bit.ly/spacetimetm
Check in with Q Branch and grab those fancy phones and BMWs, it's time for a Pierce Brosnan James Bond Extravaganza, but more importantly, Michelle Yeoh is a Chinese media employee. . . or is she? From terrorist farmers markets in the mountains to death by sea drill, we cover everything Tomorrow Never Dies has to offer. We must admit, most of the episode is just us laughing, but it really is a fun movie. I mean how DO they know what height to set the wire cutters in the car badge? Where DO the rockets fit in the car ceiling? Why DOES Elliot Carver have porn mags in a top secret safe? So many questions and so few answers.
Kathryn Harkup is a chemist and science writer who sets up her own Q Branch to test how 007 would stand up to the laws of physics, chemistry and biology.

It's the 80th Episode of The Ministry of Dice. Tune in for your fortnightly Dice Masters chat with Chris & Andy from the UK. There's lots of great conversation for you to enjoy in this week's episode. We kick off with the usual opening “warm up” natter with the lads, where you can hear all about their recent experiences playing Dice Masters (and other games). Of particular note you'll hear about how they've found experimenting with the latest Dice Masters set: Infinity Gauntlet, and Andy's 80s love getting catered to by Cobra Kai on Netflix. Then it's on to some chat about our new “Set Versus Battle…” series over on our YouTube channel. We love exploring fun, casual ways to enjoy the game and our latest venture in this space is to try pitting particular Dice Masters sets against each other and in this instalment its Justice Vs War of Light. In the segment you'll hear our thoughts on why this is an important way to play Dice Masters, a little about how Chris came to make his team, and Andy's reflections on the meta impact of War of Light. We finish up with some classic MoD ridiculous segment fun with another one of Andy's Q Branch” instalments. This really could qualify as one of our most anarchic & pointless appropriations of a 80s British game show yet. We hope it gives you a laugh at least. LOL All this, and SO MUCH more.

Would you Adam & Eve it – The Ministry of Dice has been podcasting about Dice Masters for 3 years as of this week! In a change to our usual set up, as a little something special to mark the occasion, this episode was recorded live in front of a live audience on Friday 17th July over YouTube stream. Something of a little Birthday party to mark the occasion. This is the audio from that event, with just a little bit of editing on Andy for the more sensitive ear'd listener (the beer was following (it was a party) and Andy let a few naughty words slip out from time to time) be warned though – while the bluer word have been cut the innuendo is on 11 – don't play near children if you don't want to awkwardly explain a few things. We open the episode with our usual chit chat about what we've been up to before jumping into a classic Ministry of Dice quiz from Andy's “Q Branch”, with a little twist in an effort to cater to both the video audience on the day AND the podcast audience in this episode. Did it work? Listen to find out. Then it's into the main segment – The MoD AMA. Chris & Andy field questions submitted by the audience (some in advance). Settle in for the unprepared, off-the-cuff reflections on the burning hot topics, such as what are the MoD's favourite biscuits, who their favourite guests have been, and how can we get the game of Dice Masters to grow even more. We've also got a special piece of correspondence from our biggest fan, who has written to us on this special occasion to congratulate the lads.

It's the latest episode of the Ministry of Dice everyone! We're back again with our fortnightly Dice Masters natter for your enjoyment. This episode opens with the usual catch up & chatter from the lads before we move into a look at the One Big Weekend 2 Online event that took place on the 16th May. In episode 71 we made some predictions around what we thought the OBW meta might look like and so re-visit those predictions in this episode. We discuss some of the key teams and see whether the cards, combos, and win conditions we predicted were on the button, or way off the mark. Then it's over to Andy who's been getting creative in the Q Branch once again. It's been long overdue; the MoD Historical Dice Masters set has gone without some love for a while, so Andy has been away and developed a small Basic Action expansion to this legendary Dice Masters custom creation. We are living through some historically significant, unprecedented times after all, so no time like the present to draw some inspiration for this ongoing MoD project. Hit play below to hear all this goodness, and much, much more… While You're Here… If you enjoyed the ‘cast then we'd love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating on iTune, and maybe a short review.

The Ministry of Dice are back with the 70th episode of Dice Masters chat goodness from Chris & Andy. We know the 2-week wait is even more painful in these challenging times, but we are finally here to fill your ear holes with all the Dice Masters jargon you can handle in handsome British regional dialects. (As an FYI – we really are as handsome & intelligent as the accents make us sound. Like… the Tom Hardy & Tom Hiddleston of Dice Masters. True Story.) We open the episode with the usual chitter chatter about the various goings ons in our nerd lives and in the wider world of Dice masters in general. What have we been playing? Where have we been playing? Who with? Then it's on to our main segment of the episode with a classic MoD “Vs Battle”. We've had two Campaign boxes in close, consecutive release, but which is the better set if you're trying to decide which to pick up first. We compare WWE and Trouble in Waterdeep against a set of Andy England criteria to offer some thoughts around which set one should get started with. We finish up with the long-awaited return of the “Global Reverscalation” challenge from Andy's Q Branch. One of or most popular challenges ever – this is the first part of the “Rotation Edition”, in which Chris makes some kind of attempt to replicate the reversed speak Titles & subtitles. Be sure to come back next episode to see how accurate they are. All that, and SO much more.

How much money does a Bond film really cost to make? With the news that one of Bond 25's distribution partners Annapurna is having some money troubles, we dive deep into the murky waters of the business of the movies, how much films really cost, and who pays for them. Ajay shares his professional expertise on film financing and Bill recounts the history of United Artists at the start of the Bond series. Along the way we stumble on Telly Savalas' hair, Cleopatra's expense account, Q-Branch pet food, Hai Fat's inspiration, Ian Fleming's animal rights, the James Bond goat, and the faded glory of a Wimpy hamburger.

Two weeks have passed already and that means its time for yet another episode of the Ministry of Dice podcast - the best place to go for all your UK based Dice Masters chat, the worst place to go for whole segments on random food facts. This week's episode the lad take a closer look at the two most recent campaign boxes & their associated team packs - DC: Justice and X-Men: Forever - and discuss which serves different archetypal team functions better. Which will come out on top for ramp, jankiness, control, and aggro? Then it's onto a (possibly misguided) attempt at a Q Branch by Chris, where he tries to combine the two things the MoD are most well known for: little know facts and quizzes.

The not-so-secret agents return to give their thoughts on 007's second outing released in 1963. In this episode we cover the intricate plot of this soviet spy thriller and enjoy the introduction of Q Branch! It's all happening now. Enjoy!

The wait is over - two weeks have passed and the MoD are back to fill your day with some Dice Masters joy. Or is it joy? Chris seems particularly grumpy this episode - having patented True Mister Six rants all over the place about cards, formats and much, much more. It's all very entertaining though, even if he is being totally disagreeable and cantankerous. Salty boy. There is some light though - Andy's been tinkering in his Q Branch once again developing yet another random game for us all to play (we're looking to you guys this week to help us out with this one), we reveal yet more secrets from Andy's Hollywood career, and there's the usual British bants & innuendos to bring you all a guilty chuckles.

Hello, dear listeners! You'd be surprised by the amount of wear and tear that goes out in the field. For our final 2018 Montreal Comic Con retrospective episode, Mathieu and Edgar required a little bit of help from Q Branch in order to bring you an approximation of what the James Bond Complex Comic Con presentation was like. While the original recording can sadly not be used due to its dubious quality, we offer the 2nd best option: a recording of our practice runs. Not quite what the final product ended up being, but as Bond admits to himself when Fiona Volpe turns him down in TB, you can't win them all.
Hello folks, and welcome to the 13th Episode of the Ministry of Dice podcast. We're back with yet another jam packed episode of Brit Rolling Dice Masters chatter.

Welcome back folks to our first full episode of the Brit Roller Six podcast. We are super-excited to get this out to you all! In this episode we start out with the announcement of our "Name Our Podcast" competition winner and the unveiling of the new title, move into a discussion on the subject of attracting new players & getting the ball rolling on a new scene, and finish up with the first of a regular segment; "Andy's Q Branch", where Andy works on a little project behind the scenes. In this Q Branch he contributes his thoughts to the age old favourite subject of "what new IPs would be good in Dice Masters?" The new podcast title will be in effect for the next episode - keep an eye out in case you need to re-search for us if you use a third party Podcast app to subscribe.
Although he never jokes about his work, the head of Q Branch would be pleased. #JamesBond #007 #advent #adventcalendar #holiday #podcast #comedy #voiceover #voiceactors

This week we talk about Google Photos (https://photos.google.com/) which, of course, prompts us to talk about the business model differences between Apple and Google (http://www.marco.org/2015/05/29/why-not-google). Moltz mentions Edward Snowden and gets his name wrong but he's apparently not the only one who does that (https://twitter.com/charlesarthur/status/606483046745964544). We talk about Photos features (http://www.macworld.com/article/2927919/googles-launches-new-photos-app-with-editing-tools-and-free-unlimited-storage.html) vis-a-vis Photos features (http://www.macworld.com/article/2916078/5-surprising-tips-for-apple-s-new-photos-app.html). No, these simple noun naming conventions aren't confusing. Dan talks about his piece on Six Colors speculating on what will be announced at WWDC this year (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/06/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-wwdc-2015/). We think the situation with Apple's court-appointed overseer sucks (http://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/05/28/shit-bromwich). We also talk about HomeKit as devices for it are starting to show up (http://www.macstories.net/news/the-first-homekit-enabled-devices-begin-shipping/). Dan discusses his travels with his Apple Watch (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/05/travels-with-the-apple-watch/). Apple changed the way that the fitness tracker works and... it doesn't seem to work very well (http://www.mcelhearn.com/did-apple-bait-and-switch-apple-watch-customers-with-fitness-tracker-feature-promises/). We bemoan the lack of good podcast creation apps but the money just isn't there (http://www.allenpike.com/2014/podcast-recording/). Brent Simmons has resigned from Q Branch, if you follow the movements of celebrity developers (http://inessential.com/2015/06/02/resigning_from_q_branch). Actually, he's done that whether you do or not. Our thanks this week go to Harry's (harrys.com).

Hello ATA Listeners, the question I present to you today is how you pay tribute to a character like Bond, James Bond who has graced the silver screen for 50 years with Secret Agent adventures that has spawned generations of fans and brought the male side of families together? Well, here at ATA I figured we could try something different for our show to celebrate five decades of James Bond on the silver screen. At first I thought about doing commentaries on my favorite Bond films but we did that already with the movies leading up to The Avengers. In other words, I began to envision something much bigger. Something that would be worthy of a character who has spanned generations, a retrospective on James Bond discussing everything that has to do with the man who many believe to be the pride of Her Majesty's Secret Service. ATA has certainly had its outstanding Retro Reviews but this was going to be the end-all be-all of podcast tributes to Mr. Bond covering everything from his on-screen creation and history to the characters most recent incarnation in the box office breaking smash hit Skyfall starring the outstanding Daniel Craig. However, in going to the ATA Corps I ran into the issue of my talented cohosts not feeling that they had enough background on 007 to do a retrospective, so I ended up calling one of the biggest James Bond fans I know, Agent 008 1/2 with the flaming pants himself, Kyle Franchi. And together we were able make my dream a reality by creating James Bond 50th Anniversary Tribute Podcast that was made worthy of its title through us talking about a variety of topics such as a in-depth review on Skyfall, an analysis of Bond actors/villains/women, an oral history on the Bond Film Franchise and much more including stories about our breaking and entering loving friend Steve. Hi Steve! Yes like it or not you're going to be referenced in this podcast but it's only because we love you and associate you to James Bond as much as Sean Connery. Anyway, in going back to the podcast there was so much great content stuffed into this 50th Anniversary Tribute we had to make it into a four part podcast miniseries beginning with the episode that's posted below but for For Your Eyes Only is a brief dossier explaining what's in store for our James Bond 50th Anniversary Tribute Podcast over the next four missions or episodes!!! Mission One: Explains how Kyle and I became fascinated with the James Bond Franchise and gives a in-depth review on the most recently released film starring Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming's James Bond, the Sam Mendes directed film Skyfall. Mission Two: Kyle and I give a report card to each of the actors who have played James Bond along with talking about our favorite Bond Girls and Villains. Mission Three: Kyle and I give a full-blown oral history retrospective on the James Bond Film Franchise from Dr. No to Skyfall going behind the scenes on its triumphs and tribulations including the debacle surrounding the unofficial Bond film Never Say Never Again starring the great Sean Connery. Mission Four: The podcast miniseries wraps itself up with Kyle and I taking a look at the various James Bond video games that attributed to success for the modern era of the Bond Franchise including one of the most popular games of all time N64's Goldeneye. We also discuss what we think is next for the Bond Film Franchise with the two films slated to be released after Skyfall, providing several crackpot theories on how to salvage the Quantum/Mr. White story arc that fell apart in the rush to make Quantum of Solace. Alright, now that you have your objectives it's time to stop by Q Branch to retrieve your weapon, fire up the Ashton Martin DB5 and listen to Part 1 of this outstanding podcast that's shaken but not stirred to be something that Bond fans everywhere will love!
