Quick history of pinball
Great overview of popular points in pinball history. Just enough information to keep me interested, not overloaded with random details. Keep up the great work. I will listen to all of your episodes.
Pinball history and a whole lot more!
I’ve only listened to a couple episodes and really enjoy this podcast a lot. It seems most pinball podcasts are all about current news and machines but this one deals with history and in depth stories. I appreciate them going deep down rabbit holes, as this hobby has so many characters and fascinating stories. Keep it up boys!
Great show
Really enjoy this show a lot. I do find myself listening often to episodes more than once. The only constructive criticism I have is that they could get to the specific subject of the episode quicker. I think the corrections/pinside discussions might be better suited for being placed at the end of the episode.
