“I consider Brent and Whitney’s podcast to be the required companion-material for the arcade and pinball hobby. Their podcast is insightful, entertaining and best of all: real. They are collector - hobbyists with a healthy perspective and strong back-catalog of experiences to draw from. They are pragmatic, they have fun and they don’t take this stuff or themselves too seriously. They continue to provide a consistent balance and a net-positive influence in the hobby.
The podcasts are lengthy but smartly divided into segments that are consumable even for those of us with diminished attentive faculties. I love listening to their podcast while working on my games and since I enjoy their podcast I find myself finding reasons to work on the games more. Their podcast is an essential nutrient to the positive-feedback loop of keeping me on top of my TODO: List. :)
The hosts’ repair, parts & tool advice is second-to-none and I constantly find myself referring individual episodes to friends where Brent & Whitney have “been there, seen that and got the t-shirt.” The subject matter isn’t always limited to arcade and pinball topics but expands to include the myriad of construction, electrical, plumbing & work-life intermissions that often impact us in the hobby. Whether addressing water issues in my basement or rom-issues on Tempest, I’ve found their podcast to be helpful and up-lifting. Best of all, if you run into these guys at a show you’ll find they are just as amicable and friendly in-person as they are on-air.
Keep up the great work guys and thank you for the many-hours of entertainment you’ve provided. If you guys need me for anything, I’ll be in the hardware store shopping for frost-free spigots & dehumidifiers. :)”
