This week on the podcast, we wrap up our conversation with BattleBots veteran, and newest member of the show’s broadcasting team, Pete Abrahamson!

In this segment, he takes all of your fan questions, including the weird ones, and takes us on a delightful detour into the unrealized (but absolutely valid) BattleBots and Dungeons and Dragons mashup.
