What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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.

Heyyoudannyboy · Jun 2025

Really enjoy this podcast. I love that the focus isn’t on pinball rumors and more about interviewing interesting people within the pinball community and telling some of the history of pinball. This is a super welcoming community and I think these guys do a great job of sharing their love of pinball with the world. Keep doing what yall are doing. They’ve turned me into someone that loves and seeks out classics. And as someone who within the last year has taken a deeper dive into pinball, their history lessons and general education about pinball and operators has really informed my opinions and saved me from my own embarrassment quite a few times.

Great pinball podcast - one of my favorites. Nice change from the more common news and rumors podcasts.

Dougp-IMR · Mar 2024

Really fun show. Not the same old drivel repeated on other shows. A fresh voice on a fun hobby!
