Topic: Prototype

Sir Mike, the "liberator of MI10," has sent a prototype of "Carmopoly," a No Agenda-themed version of Monopoly. The game features show-specific references and is described as a high-quality collector's item, despite a minor typo. The hosts discuss the potential for a limited production run or crowdfunding for the game.

Construction has begun on eight border wall prototypes in San Diego, with contractors competing for federal contracts worth up to $600 million. The prototypes stand between 18 and 30 feet high and are designed to provide Border Patrol with better tools to secure the frontier. Human rights organizations along the border oppose the project, arguing that millions are being spent on walls while drugs continue to enter through tunnels and ports.

A 16-year-old amateur metalworker named Keegan Sullivan sent a heavy prototype of "No Agenda nail clippers" to the studio for approval. The mechanical device is described as a robust, high-quality tool suitable for heavy-duty use. Additionally, a host recounts a social outing involving the consumption of homemade mead brewed with honey and champagne yeast.

A listener's dream anecdote about meeting John Dvorak in a park leads to an update on a Software Defined Radio (SDR) project. One host describes building a prototype using a Raspberry Pi and a Lego box enclosure, with plans to pitch the device for manufacturing. The project aims to integrate Wi-Fi capabilities for portable radio operation.

The Knight Foundation awarded a $50,000 "prototype grant" to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Drone Journalism Lab. Led by Professor Matt Waite, the project explores using unmanned aircraft for news gathering and data collection. The hosts criticize the grant as an "outrage," noting that the technology is inexpensive and that they have been performing "drone journalism" through reporting for years without funding.
