BattleBots S6E5 Recap with Faruq Tauheed!

 

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up with BattleBots host and resident hype man, Faruq Tauheed! Faruq takes us behind the scenes on a typical shooting day at BattleBots, gives us tips on how to protect your voice over a two-week shoot, and reveals what his favorite intro of all time is.
