Episodes
The last exhibition match of the first season! Can the Blues maintain their win streak, or will the Grey Hunters and their superior technology rain ruination on the local team? Not if the Blue's Captain, and his Atlas, have anything to say about it!
But will it be enough? Only one way to find out!
Today we're going back... WAY back... to cover a book that was written over 4,000 years ago. And then re-written in English by Jaime Wolf, which is the version we'll be talking about.
Honestly, there isn't much about the original book I can tell you about that you won't find elsewhere. But maybe I can answer whether you should pick up the Jaime Wolf version? It does have a very snazzy cover...
This week the Emerald Predators elected to a send a single MechWarrior to fight against two of the ACEs finest... but what a 'Mech they sent! This is the second-last exhibition match, and the return of our usual cohost, Drake "Grim" Fantome!
It looks like it's going to be a heckuva match!
This week's tutorial covers my personal favourite slice of the Periphery... sure, it has less corn and fewer maniacs than Van Zandt, but it has war, intrigue, and a really snappy colour scheme.
Good colours schemes count for a lot in my book.
Welcome to the Aurigan Reach! We're just going to brush the surface this time, in preparation for a longer lecture series in the future, but I hope y'all enjoy it!
Welcome back to Solaris VII! This week's exhibition match is between the Xandria City Blues and the Emerald Predators, and marks the first time we've had a Piranha on the field!
It also marks the first time we've managed to get the interview chamber operational, so Marx and co-host Tai Kang Zhou have a chance to talk with the four brave 'Mech jockeys heading into the arena before the match!
From the earliest annuals and history books written about the Inner Sphere strides the giants that are the Grey Death Legion... and today's lecture is all about them!
It's not exhaustive by any measure, and we're talking about the historic GDL, not their newer (and some would say even cooler) iteration, but there's still a fair amount to cover. Plus a bit in the middle where I talk factory logistics.
History. It's wha...
This week sees the ACEs going toe-to-toe with the Grey Hunters! The ACEs are fielding two Draconis 'Mechs, while the Grey Hunters brought rookie pilots and batchalling-on-a-budget options to try and level the playing field... will the more experienced ACE pilots be able to keep up with the technological superior Clan 'Mechs?!
A quick apology: Lady Mueller's microphone had the gain set too high, and so her audio is a little w...
Today we're talking about a big battle... a downright huge battle depending on the time and place, but in this case, it's a massive conflict with a twist...
It may have never happened.
That's right, we're talking about Gotterdammerung (or at least ONE of the Gotterdammerungs, with a nod towards the others)! Sorry that I'm not smart enough to put either of the umlauts in there, but we both know they should ...
Tonight is the second exhibition match for this season, a game between the Grey Hunters and their hated rivals, the Emerald Predators! Both teams are bringing early-Clan Invasion era 'Mechs to this fight, and it promises to be an exciting match!
This week I'm going to have a little chat about one of my favourite Assault 'Mechs... the humble Longbow. Is it fancy? No. Is it the most advanced piece of Star-League-Era tech ever designed? Also no. But is it the best Assault 'Mech EVER DESIGNED!?
Look, I feel like you're not paying attention.
I just like the big, silly missile launchers and I think it's a pretty 'Mech. Can't a guy just love a giant robot for bein...
Our first exhibition match! This week the ACEs go toe-to-toe with the Xandria City Blues in a classic 3030s-era clash that will leave ruin, destruction, and glorious honour strewn about the battlefield like... popcorn... or... somethin'.
It's almost the start of a Solaris joke... a Rifleman and a Centurion walk into an arena... let's find out which team lands the punchline!
Tukayyid! A name that inspires everyone across the Inner Sphere, whether with hope, shame, or a heady combination of the two... this is a planet we are going to visit many, many times in the coming lectures, but for our first little jaunt, I thought we'd cover the Jade Falcons and their... questionable... accomplishments. Or is that "considerable" accomplishments? Maybe both?
Either way, looking forward to diving into a little...
Welcome back to Solaris VII! The Inner Sphere's premier sports destination invites you to join us for an introduction to the new season of gladiatorial combat! In this episode you'll be introduced to the various members of the League of Independent Solaris Training Stables, as well as a brief overview of the Lance Commander format that the exhibition matches will use.
Next week BLAM's Lecture Series returns with a discussion o...
Welcome to the first episode of BLAM! This is the first of the lecture series, which will run in parallel with the Arena Combat series on alternating weeks. This lecture is a short little one, talking about Jason Youngblood and the Crescent Hawk's Inception.
I'll be back next week with the first BLAM Arena episode... just an introduction episode as well. The idea is to keep switching between the two styles, with occasionally a short...

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
