Apr 26

My name is Kaneda. I work hard to make the world's most fun, entertaining and informative podcast about pinball. I will tell you what I love about pinball and what needs work. I have no agenda. No sponsors. 6 TWIPYs. I believe pinball magic is a thing the world needs more of.
"Not without flaws, Chris delivers pinball talk to the hobby with no influence. He is not a part of the industry, and thus we get fair perspective. He does this in an entertaining way, and he talks about what a lot of buyers are thinking. He is pretty funny as well.. best pinball podcast out there"
