The Gaming Hut makes room for our collection of crystal balls as Patreon backer Rob Towell asks for hints on GMing prophecies and divinations.

The Crime Blotter looks at a rash of highly professional heists targeting relics looted from the Old Summer Palace and held in European museums.

    Reprogramming the traffic lights of an Italian city is a major plot point of the classic 1969 movie “The Italian Job”, although those Minis definitely weren’t self-driving!

    Hey, just a shout out to say at least *one* listener out there remembers the TV show SEEING THINGS back in the 80s. It was fun, especially for a kid living in Northern Saskatchewan. And… since Robin brought up long-running Canadian TV series, weren’t there also some prophetic visions in THE BEACHCOMBERS? (They worked the same was, from the little I recall.)

    I visited the Munch Museum in Oslo last month, which has a LOT more security than other museums – bags went in a locker, and we passed through a metal detector. Also, the two paintings that were stolen in 2004 were NOT on display.

    What happens when the twelve zodiac heads are reunited?
