Our Very Early BattleBots Season 6 Preview with Greg Munson

This week on the podcast, we return from a very long vacation to chat with BattleBots co-creator Greg Munson, who this week confirmed that Season 6 of the show will be taped August 23 through September 4 in Las Vegas. We take your fan questions: How do we buy tickets? Who’s in and who’s out? Format changes? Arena changes? and more.

Plus! Our preview of the July edition of Norwalk Havoc, happening this Saturday and Sunday, July 24 and 25. Catch the YouTube livestream with the four of us! https://youtu.be/DtlIWhSw7yQ
