The Pinball Show:
• I’ve listened to all 40+ shows. I was a SDTM fan and checked it out. Clearly liked it and kept listening.
• Enjoy pinball news segments, market-trends, new game speculation with older game perspective, context from a distributor, with some entertaining conversation.
• I really appreciate Zach’s enthusiasm for the hobby and respect Dennis’s knowledge and as a lover pinball as a geometric game of skill (and somewhat of a historian).
• Overall - Kept waiting for the over-reaching dreamer style (Zach) and technical fact-only engineering approach of Dennis to find a groove (and entertaining discourse). It did not happen. Dennis’s apparent dislike of all segments, Zach’s ideas, excess jokes, and his seeming dislike of being on the show moved from the occasional funny or cringe-worthy moments, to no longer wanting to listen. A classic case of, ‘if you [Dennis] doesn’t want to be here, why am I here?’
• The episode with Greg B. as a guest was the best episode in weeks (given slightly long), but it was entertaining and interesting. I decided to keep listening. (Zach – kill/reduce laugh tracks & singing should be a rare joke. Don’t need to kill it, but reel it in).
• I assume they are gradually finding a replacement co-host, which is the right thing to do. Leave it on friendly terms. It didn’t work, but it was pretty good while it lasted. Afterwards, I hope Dennis will appear occasionally in the future as a guest.
• I greatly enjoy TPN. This review is specific to the Pinball Show...
