Totally Tanked podcast

…

John and Rob

It's a podcast about tanks. Do you want to listen to people talking about tanks? If so this is the podcast for you! World Wars, Cold Wars, modern tanks, we cover them all while drinking a lot of beer. Be warned though, we grapple with the politics behind the tanks, the economics, the industrial policies. Tanks are intensely political objects in both their creation and their use. So if you just want to hear dudes banging on about lethality, well, we've got dudes banging on anyway.
