This week on the podcast, we catch up with BattleBots executive producer and showrunner Aaron Catling! Aaron has been instrumental in crafting the look and feel of BattleBots since the 2015 reboot, and is deep in producing the 2020 season AS WE SPEAK. We talk about the new season, what a typical day looks like for him, and why he loves this sport so much.
