Kaneda’s Pinball Podcast

Simply the best and most entertaining podcast for me!

Listening to kaneda helped me curb my out of control pinball buying habit.. which my wife eventually would have killed me for. 

Thanks kaneda for saving my life!

Chris’ off the cuff style, tongue-in-cheek bravado, and marketing know-how assembled into a podcast that was intriguing, insightful, and conversation starting.   His capacity for research, his ability to debate his own points, and his blunt honesty made his podcast the one to listen to for news and analysis.  Chris brought in and respectfully interviewed some unique subjects occasionally including Deeproot’s Robert Mueller.  Chris prides himself on being a consumer advocate and in that his podcast excelled, raising consumer concerns and awareness more than any other podcast by far.

I really like this podcast for the insider info.  Has good flow.   I hope he releases his previous episodes.  Some of the deep dives into American pinball, Jersey Jack, and Deeproot  were great!

Entertaining and informative.

There are numerous other sources to get pinball news and commentary with much more entertaining and compelling hosts.

Can’t think of the last time he hit anything on the head. Conveys his lame, low-hanging fruit opinions as fact and is the sad epitome of “low culture” entertainment for the pinball community. It’s too bad he’s made a living exploiting/brainwashing his followers, he does far more harm (oftentimes physical) than not. 0/10, would *not* recommend unless your smooth-brain can’t see what’s wrong with an obviously damaged and harmful human being acting like a literal screaming 3-year-old.

Best source for new rumors and the best way to summarize what is going on on pinside. Helped me to kill hundreds of hours while driving.

Chris content is always very interesting and entertaining,I like the way he keep everyone accountable.

Love never dies,

sweep the leg,

keep the dingleberries honest.

It really sucks that Chris isn’t able to do his shows anymore! Eventually I stopped listening to the rest because his was the shortest and most entertaining.

Now I don’t listen to any pinball podcasts anymore and am losing interest in the hobby altogether because I’m not getting hyped up anymore for new machines. 

​

Especially the shows where he went on a rant, or was so full of himself on getting a few rumors right, made me laugh out loud. (One particular moment comes to mind of him describing an entrance into the TPF where others were growing rose petals at his feet. :-D)

Kaneda sometimes has interesting info you won’t get other places but he needlessly drags on the show.  He could cover his material in 15 mins but really likes the sound of his own voice and feels he needs to talk for almost an hour.  I usually fast forward through all the repetitive nonsense.  We get it JJP is slow, GNR is coming.

Straight talker, no BS ,tells it the way he sees it ,always makes me think about what he says  whether I agree or not and the best part makes me laugh

Chris is a top-notch podcaster! As someone entering the hobby it was great being able to rely on his podcast to learn about the industry including its many victories and failures. Chris doesn’t pull punches and feels like the only podcaster in this space with a genuine concern for consumer protection. I honestly believe modern day pinball is better today because of this show!
