October 27, 2025Episode 35 - The Art of Slandering the Art of War
In our thirty fifth deployment of BungleTech my spheroid co-host Michael and I dive into the psyche, or perhaps psychosis, of Jamie Wolf as we take a look at his annotated version of the Art of War, we pause for a moment and discuss the variety of pronunciation mistakes we are making on a regular basis in our Rule Mistake Discovery segment, and then we wrap it all up by reading a sample chapter from the book we just discussed.

September 27, 2025Episode 34 - War Never Same Twice!
In our 34th episode of BungleTech my spheroid co-host Michael start by sharing some exciting updates in our Extraordinary Proclamation Segment, before we question the widely held belief that "BattleTech hasn't changed that much since its origin." as we do a rule by rule comparison of BattleTech Second Edition and the 8th printing of the BattleMech Manual in our general topic segment, and then in our Stories of the Inner Sphere segment we break away from tradition and share a variety of the bad 'Mech articles I have had the honour of recording for SARNA!

May 27, 2025Episode 30 - Boot Camp Bungles
In our thirtieth deployment of BungleTech, my spheroid self Michael will be running the show because my clanner co-host Nathan is away this month. But fortunately I am joined by our friend and frequent opponent Paul! A talented and well-traveled demo-agent who knows a thing or two about what it’s like bringing new players into the game, and more importantly what kinds of bungles they make! Paul also shares with us a story of extremely rapid immolation on the battlefield and I will read a clip of the coolest ‘Mech jockey in the Old West. So strap yourself in and brace against the bulkheads MechWarriors as I stumble through commanding my very own deployment of BungleTech!

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.
