    I like Jeff Teolis' style. He's to the point and provides great detail when on site for interviews or events - I feel like I'm right there!

    He's a radio pro and it shows.

    Thanks for keeping all pinball enthusiasts in on the action.

  • Don’t like your style

    Jeff, I’m sorry, but your appearance on two other podcasts has soured my ability to embrace the personality. First, the Kaneda slam-fest with a “taking my ball home ending” on Slam Tilt and the recent TWIPY diatribe on Head2Head. Neither showed good judgement.

    And Pinside Petey. I just don’t get the need to create an “us vs them” scenario.

    Why take all of this so seriously? It’s just a hobby about a coin op game. That’s it.
