Modern Technology Breaks

Modern Technology Breaks is a combination scripted/improv surreal sketch-comedy podcast taking place behind the scenes at a mysterious podcast network run from a sub-basement studio in the bizarre end of New York City. Sketchy comedy, parodies of other podcasts, behind-the-scenes bickering, peeks into parallel worlds, and more all come together to make the Modern Technology Podcast Network what it is.

Join station owners Rob and Gila, their grumpily-affable engineer Breslau, and a growing stable of other characters and personalities as they all do their best to get through another episode.

Newcomers to this podcast might like to listen in release order as it does get appreciably serial in nature, but it’s not an absolute requirement. You do you.
