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.
Great show

I miss the mechs. not a huge fan of the armor and aero episodes… but the season 1 stuff is phenomenal however!
Great Battletech Podcast

I look forward to your podcast every week and really enjoy how you mix mech reviews with historical lore.
Too much inner sphere

You guys are missing like half the setting. Incomplete.
Enjoying the show more with the novel talk and the deep dives on topics outside of mechs

The only thing really keeping this from being a 5 star review is the sound effects to avoid the explicit tag. Either accept the tag, or learn to keep the explicit language out so the effects aren’t needed. Addendum: Foundation analysis should have its own separate feed.
Fantastic, only slight issues

Those being: 1st) I’d really appreciate if you guys would record louder. Even at max volume, my earbuds can barely play you over the ambient sounds around my job (retail, not terribly loud) 2nd) I assumed that this was going in the order of appearance, but, if so, they’ve completely skipped over my favorite mech! This is mostly a joke, I know they’ll get to my precious King Crab, someday. All the same, fantastic show, full of solid official info, and interesting opinions from the hosts and their expertise. I will absolutely change my review to 5 stars if they fix the volume issue.
Came for the mechs, stayed for the history

I enjoy the combination of history and game meta when discussing the mechs. My favorite section added in later early episodes was the data dive on equipment, factions and eras.
Top tier battletech talk

I hardly leave reviews but these guys are really good at research and discussion. If you’re an older fan or new this is worth a listen
Great for lore and tabletop fans

An amazing topical and family-friendly podcast. Easy to binge and the perfect partner for a long night of painting.
