Dennis Kriesel & Tony Kurkowski
Pinball and video games. We’re a mixed gaming podcast, but pinball and video games are our bread and butter, and our two permanent segments. Pinball generally receives the most attention of the two. We also, on occasion, cover other types of gaming (namely tabletop games such as RPGs and card games). We aren’t known as eclectic for nothing!
"Dennis and Tony are different. Not just in their content covered but in their principles. They avoid conflict of interest, they reject mainstream opinions and they back up those stances with straightforward ideals that enthusiasts would benefit from. They admit mistakes, and their humble approach to their relevance makes them that much more endearing. None of this matters if hosts lack the knowledge of the covered hobby or a desire to investigate the subjects they cover. Thankfully, this may be their strongest asset. Listen, learn and be entertained. It's a great show and one that deserves a following."
