  • Almost as bad as Kaneda

    I love pinball, and pinball podcasts. Retro Ralph can get a little annoying. Imagine your loud obnoxious friend that is loud for no reason. We need less of this style of podcasting. Not worth listening.

  • Yo!

    I just got into pinball, and this podcast is awesome! I love the energy and that there’s actual positivity instead of people crapping on stuff they don't like. Glad to have made the first written review and I’m looking forward to more episodes in the future!
