A show about digital pinball on mobile, PC, and console from the industry's leading game developers.
You'll be treated to segment favorites such as "BlahCade Speculation", interviews with industry leaders, and other tangents (including "real" pinball news) that keep the format fresh and topical.
The show originates from the East Coast of Australia and the West Coast of California, with new episodes available when news is worth sharing (which is pretty regularly).

Netflix and Zen?
Zen Studios has partnered with Netflix for a free with subscription game called Zen Pinball Masters.
Not only that, the studio has also released a brand new table, System Shock, for their Pinball M platform.
Gregg from @SpaciesArcade also produced some cool videos to help Chris with VPX so he can get started fast with the AtGames Legends 4K Pinball and PC OTG.

Target Alpha, New Toys for 2024!
Chris became an EM owner since the last episode with a Gottlieb Target Alpha, and it was as close to a barn find to be had without the actual barn!
Things start with the annual tradition of the best movies seen in 2023 and the worst.

End of 2023 Interview with Zen's Mel Kirk
It's an annual tradition of having Zen COO Mel Kirk join us to discuss everything happening with Zen Studios and reflect upon what was a massive year for the studio.
We discuss Pinball M, AtGames ALP 4K, and what to expect in 2024.
The interview is shorter than the ones we have done in the past because we used to ask about development stuff, which Mel is no longer close enough to.
Interview summary is available from https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-269/

Customer Reviews
The finest digital pinball and current events podcast on the Internet
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!
“Hot Garbage”
And with that “hot garbage” comment you both have now lost all credibility.
Great Information But Takes Forever To Get To It.
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.
