  • Great Podcast

    Great show for anyone who wants to dive into the deep end of battletech lore. The cast covers the subject in depth and in an easy to listen way. It’s like hanging out with friends at the store. I’d like the sound to be a little louder (I have to max out my radio while driving), but great show regardless.
