BattleBots S6 Filming Week Special

This week on the podcast, we’re headed to Las Vegas to catch up with BattleBots superfan Mary Katherine Carr, who is attending every single taping session this season, and touring the pits as a fan. We’re chatting with her after the conclusion of day 1 of filming, where we’ll try to learn as much as we can without violating the show’s NDA.
