Technically Broken
by TBP Productions
Technically Broken is a podcast hosted by two (sometimes three) friends that share their experiences in the mechanical world from opposite sides of the spectrum: professional vs. hobbyist. Mario, a professional mechanic, shares his experience, stories, and frustrations from a professional’s point of view and talks about all kinds of crazy happenings in the profession while Botar, a part-time hobbyist, shares his perspective from that of an amateur and his rewarding experiences as well as total flops. Caleb, the producer, will sometimes chime in and share stories from an outside perspective as well. At the end of every episode there is a ”Worth it or Junk it” segment where each host talks about a subject in the mechanical world they love or could live without. Between everyone involved there are many laughs and situations that anyone who has dabbled with anything mechanical or repair-wise can surely relate.
