BungleTech: A BattleTech Podcast

In our forty first deployment of BungleTech my stalwart spheroid partner in tactical misadventure and I break down our latest BattleTech game played in a speed‑BattleTech format. And because reputation demands it, we wrap up by asking the eternal question of all commanding bunglers: “Which rules did we mess up this time?”

In our fortieth deployment of BungleTech, Michael and I take a trip to Japan as we dive into a brian cache of Japanese BattleTech releases recently unearthed by members of the community in our primary topic segment and ask ourselves the question: is this even BattleTech or have we wandered into some Tetatae adjacent alternative BattleTech timeline? Strap in as we tour a place where familiar ’Mechs sport unfamiliar silhouettes. Just like a Marauder II crashing its way through a densely packed residential block, It’s a journey of equal parts discovery and destruction. Get ready for those knowledge check PSRs MechWarriors!

In our 39th deployment of BungleTech, we kick the safeties off the fusion engine and attempt something both daring and experimental in our Primary Topic segment. Together with you in the command couch—we chart the State of BattleTech in our era. Plug in your neurohelmet, tune a transmission in our direction, and join the ranks of those who’ve already shared their thoughts.

In our 38th episode of BungleTech we're bombarding you with guests galore as Michael and I reflect on the Global Campaign Initiative through a conversation with our collaborators Denham and Steve from The Mech Bay Podcast, Dante our narrative lead, and participants Brent from Of Mech's and Men and Zemer from The Valhalla Club Podcast. On top of this we welcome some new members to the clan in our extraordinary proclamation and we share the closing narrative interlude to the Global Campaign Initiative in our Stories of the Inner Sphere segment.

In this special micro‑episode of BungleTech, Nathan takes the controls of the Bunker for a quick hit of tech‑flavoured nonsense designed to clear a lingering task off his list and soothe Michael’s tormented spirit, which is currently howling over our uneven episode count. It’s a tiny adventure, but a complete one — a little BungleTech snack to tide you over until the next full‑sized episode drops.
