BungleTech: A BattleTech Podcast

Nathan Hunt

This is a podcast for the unintentional rule breakers, for BattleTech fans old and new, that love the franchise, but like us still struggle to remember the hundreds of pages of rules and smorgasbord of lore. Join us as we appreciate, regale, and savour battlefield stories embarrassing and glorious alike! All bunglers invited, welcome to the BungleTech Podcast. Listened to all we have and can't wait for more? We publish an episode on the 27th of each month. read less

Note: A quick correction to the pronunciation of Waco Rangers in the Stories of the Inner Sphere segment. The pronunciation used in the sample read of WHACK-O is used primarily by the Wolf Dragoons, a more accurate pronunciation would be WAY-KO. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bungletech/message
