In this episode, we’re joined by Richard Tieman, the newest addition to the NHRL commentary team and a rising voice in combat robotics broadcasting. Known for his high-energy pit reporting during Prime Time and thoughtful engagement with builders behind the scenes, Richard brings a fresh perspective to how the sport is covered, narrated, and grown.

We talk about his journey from radio broadcasting to combat robotics, what it takes to stay sharp on the mic during chaotic tournament weekends, and the importance of spotlighting builders, bots, and stories that don’t always make the stream.

This episode dives into the challenges of live commentary, the value of storytelling in robot sports, and how media coverage can shape the experience for both fans and competitors.
