The Podcast for the June 2010 four year anniversary installment of Broketronica is (finally) available! The anniversary performance features live sets from Radere, Jason Carr, MAD, and a DJ set from Ingo Vogelmann. Unfortunately, due to technical issues (ahem, Windows XP), not all the sets were captured in their entirety. With review at some point in the future, the possibility of recovering live set from Attentat & Morgan Packard exists. From what we do have, the content is available in various formats:
