September 27Episode 45 - BattleCheckers & the Mystery of the Ogre's Den Bathroom
In our forty‑fifth deployment of BungleTech my spheriod co‑host Michael and I recount our most recent descent into BattleCheckers madness (that's Classic BattleTech with BSPs only). Armed with the new mission generator from the updated BattleTech Core Rule Book, we set out to play a simple and disciplined match… and naturally ended up bungling half a dozen rules anyway.

May 27Episode 41 - Speed? WE ARE SPEED!
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.

April 27Episode 40 - バトルテック
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!

January 27Episode 37.5 - REJECTED!
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.

About BungleTech: A BattleTech Podcast

From the publisher's feed

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.
