BlahCade Pinball Podcast

I’m just now working my way through 2017’s podcasts now, but when I heard that one episode where Chris spoke about the influence of KROQ on the 80’s electronic alternative music scene, I was hooked. It was like I was listening to myself speaking. Then I heard he has a Firepower AND an EBD, my 2 favorite pinball machines! Blown away. Anyway, these guys talk about the whole digital pinball scene, current pop culture, and sometimes what’s on Netflix. Because they’re obviously dudes in their forties their views line right up with mine making it really interesting to me. Sometimes they’ll even get a scoop and interview some higher up person at Farsight! And when there is no news at all, they do a great job filling the time with...whatever. Big fan, keep it up!

And with that “hot garbage” comment you both have now lost all credibility.

This is one of the most informative pinball podcasts out there. Unfortunately, it takes the hosts way too long to get to the point. The first 30-40 minutes of nearly every podcast is comprised of exhausting, in depth banter covering every conceivable mundane detail of the hosts’ personal lives. While it’s obviously interesting to them, it doesn’t exactly transfer into riveting podcast material for the rest of us. Chris and Jared are both smart, well informed guys. I just wish they’d get the small talk out of the way BEFORE they hit the record button.

Being a Pinball fanatic, I enjoy Chris and Jared's conversatrions about real as well as digital pinball. Throw in some other topics such as movies and real world experiences and you have a good mix and time well spent. Chris about got me in a car accident when reminiscing about Cal Worthington and his dog Spot. Yes, like you I interpreted it the same way you did. Good up the good work, gents. CYC
