I’m new to pinball (4 months) and I’ve been totally obsessed. This pod has really allowed me to learn about pinball culture, basics, classic games and fun facts. A good podcast for all listeners interested in pinball. The hosts represent all aspects of pinball - fans, players, operators and home machine owners. They are well spoken, interesting, and have great guests. I’m listening to all the episodes from 1 to present!
This pod is entertaining and very informative / illuminating for anyone who has ever had an interest in pinball.
Really appreciate all the effort the guys put in on this week in and week out.
Love the pod - it’s by the people for the people
Long time hobbyists that love pinball talk about location play and the games we love, hate, and love to hate! Please keep this vibe comming!

I love this show. I look forward to it every week. The style of humor matches mine, too, so it’s a blast hearing the hosts joke around
Update: Thanks for talking about Wizards World/ Fort Wayne Pin (I’m confused by that too) from my hometown. That place is so great! Announce next time you go! It’d be great to meet you guys and play together
