Kineticist’s take
Ken Cromwell discusses TPN's founding, defends against profit allegations, and addresses unresolved conflict with unnamed pinball figure.
Synopsis
Ken Cromwell returns as co-host to The The Pinball Show for a long-form conversation about the origins and early challenges of The Pinball Network (TPN). The hosts discuss holiday gifts, Chris Chandler's departure as Deep Root correspondent, the founding of TPN as a passion project rather than profit venture, Ken's Special When Lit podcast legacy, and address persistent criticism that TPN is motivated by financial gain. A significant portion covers alleged character assassination and false narratives created by an unnamed prominent pinball figure early in TPN's launch, which the hosts describe as deeply hurtful and unmotivated by any apology.
