72 - AMX-30 - When the going gets tough, the French get weird.
The ancestor of all failed Franco-German military procurements the AMX-30 was a strange result of meeting the requirements of its moment precisely, while being birthed into a world that had changed from the time of its design. Despite seeming strange to us in 2025 it enjoyed a great deal of success in markets too odious for the Germans to sell Leopards to.

69 - Bradley - A Real Tank Killer
In this episode we take on the life and times of one of history's most controversial armoured vehicles, the Bradley! We also take a deep dive into it's namesake Omar Bradley, and share some thoughts on recent world events.
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.
