On the Origin of Battlemechs

The Origins of BattleMechs podcast is everything I ever wanted as a longtime fan of BattleTech and someone who’s obsessed with the rich lore behind these towering war machines. Every episode feels like it was made just for me the deep dives into the history, development, and battlefield evolution of ‘Mechs are informative, immersive, and full of passion. What I love most is how the hosts manage to strike the perfect balance between storytelling and analysis. Whether they’re covering iconic chassis like the Marauder or overlooked gems from the Succession Wars, they bring the technical specs and in-universe history to life in a way that makes you want to dig out your TROs and re-read them cover to cover. This show isn’t just about stats and dates — it’s about what BattleMechs mean to the factions, to their pilots, and to the centuries-long saga of the Inner Sphere. It’s thoughtful, well-researched, and clearly crafted by people who love BattleTech as much as I do. If you’re a MechWarrior at heart or just curious about the legends behind the steel titans of the battlefield this podcast is essential listening. Bravo to the creators. I can’t wait for the next drop.

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.

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

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