Beyond Expectations

I'm a hard-core battletech loreboy, and a lot of my fellow battletech friends only read sourcebooks and I've been dying to hear some discussion about the actual books.
You guys scratched an itch I've had for awhile and you do it while being funny.
I also happen to be misophonic and so im picky about audio quality, and you guys get a thumbs up from me. Keep up the awesome work, im gonna tune in every episode.

They do a great job going over the story.

Great podcast and they got the narrator for the audio books. They are knowledgeable and like the IP.

a really great podcast

these guys do an amazing job. two of the presenters are the main voices of the show, and the third guy is called upon to provide some crunchy information when needed. that said, they like to focus on the fluff and keep it light and enjoyable overall.
I especially like how they paint the books like an action movie and interject what they're imagining as they read the scenes. it's nice to hear similarities and differences to how things play out in my own imagination, and bring attention to nuances I may have missed in my reading.
the episodes are long but they cover each chapter of a book in order with a nice little music break in between each one, so you can break each episode into bite-sized pieces very nicely and take it at your own pace.
I highly recommend this podcast!

Caynan shoots from the hip, Brent cracks some jokes and Aarron keeps it real.

I have been a fan of Battletech ever since i stole my dads copy of Main Event, and these three are a delight as they weave through the depths and nuance of this glorious mecha soap opera of the stars. If you are a fan of Battletech and you have not given these guys a listen then accept my batchall and meet me in a circle of equals. Seyla

my favorite BT podcast

these guys have great chemistry and i love their perspectives on the GDL series! if you've read the novels, this a great companion to the series. in the beginning they say 'yknow' a little too much but it's worth a listen!
