Plans and Ploys, Empire of the Stars, Box One, Northern Pacific,
and Juicy Fruits. Then Don and Jamie jump into a feature review of

currently running Kickstarter projects while the gang chirps in the
background. Then finally the Founders jump into a Short Topic
Extravaganza including discussion about too many Kicsktarters, how
