Technically Broken

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.

Today’s focus is Caleb’s new job…kinda! He just started working in a shop as a semi mechanic. We hear from him and what led to this development as well as how he likes it. Does he like it? That’s the bigger question. Mario and Botar ask the tough questions while Caleb sits pretty and answers like a champ. All in all, a good time and some good information and opinions. We’re so stoked for our friend to make these kinds of moves in his life and fully support him. Thanks for listening! Make sure to give us a like, subscribe, and rate us 5 stars! It really helps.

We’re back at it again in episode three interviewing our longtime friend, Chad. Chad has a deep background in farming, which he started participating in when he was very young. Chad shares his past experiences and all the necessary and sometimes annoying repairs that were needed to keep the farm running as well as what he’s been up to most recently. Then, we get into our Worth it or Junk it segment where we discuss overreaching tech and other topics. Thanks for listening!

The guys go a little bit more in depth about their beginnings and the different perspectives of professionals vs. hobbyists. Every person, depending on their background, has a different approach to any given situation and the unique points of view between them plays a role in how they take on a job or task.
