100 is a good number to go out on.

So, I have been listening through all the coast2coast pinball podcasts on podcast garden. I now try to play episode 85 and it wont let me, nor will it let me play any except for the most recent. I want to listen to all of them does anybody know where I can get all of the episodes? I've tried all these and none of them let me listen to the old episodes; itunes, stitcher, podbeam, overcast. I guess I'm a completist and its driving nuts I can't get access to them. Any help, it be very appreciated.

There is an issue with any podcast garden podcast. PG switched their storage servers, but didn't update existing RSS entries. This broke every back episode...

Your best bet would be to try to stream them directly from the website for the show, for now. I've alerted Nate to the problem (as well as a couple of PG hosted shows like TFP).

Ok, thank you, the website doesn't seem to let me play any of the old episodes either. Hopefully it will be fixed soon and I will be able to continue through the podcasts. Thank you for the info.

Couple of updates I've seen:

BlahCade Podcast (under Virtual Pinball Podcasts) links to a forum post that isn't maintained. Here is a link to their website where people can track the latest episodes: http://blahcadepinball.com/

Geek Gamer Weekly (under Mixed Arcade and Pinball Podcasts) appears defunct. Last episode was October 2, 2016 and a forum post on their site a couple months later suggests that the show was put on indefinite hiatus (hard to say for sure, but appears there hasn't been any site-developed content of note since 2016): http://geekgamer.tv/forums/index.php/topic,2706.0.html

We have started uploading the audio of our show for podcasts on iTunes and Podcast Garden.

Martin Ayub (Pinball News) and myself (editor of Pinball Magazine) joined forces in our first combined podcast: http://www.podcastgarden.com/podcast/podcast-rss.php?id=13849. The idea was to turn Pinball Magazine's monthly news recap into a podcast where we both discuss the latest developments in the pinball industry. This first episode discusses all the news coming out of Texas Pinball Festival and the Iron Maiden reveal. What we figured would be a 10-minute first show ended up running over 2 hours, but it was fun to do. Hope it will be fun to listen to as well

Couldn't you at least put in "TWIPY Podcast of the Year - No Name - No Link"?

I understand the situation and that K. ist banned here, forever.
But not even hinting at him in a list where he is propably the most 'important' person is kinda ridiculous.

He's kinda the boulevard press of pinball podcast.
Noone likes it but seemingly everybody reads it.

Yeah, but that was a long time ago, so I thought I... uh... is adequate to bring it up again.

When he does a drunken podcast on 5 AM (and most other times as well) I see why his ban will never be lifted, and "troll" (or narcistic "truthbringer" as he calls himself) is the most adequate word to describe him and his behaviour, but that he's got quite an followership with his podcast is undenieable and therefore could at least be mentioned for it's mere existence without deleting or DOWNVOTES.

I personally like to listen to him "from time to time". Mostly not because of the news and negativity (can't stand that that often) but for making a fool of himself contradicting himself within the same sentence. Fo me it's really like boulevard: Most of it is made up/ exeggarated, but if you know it's all just a bag of shit it's kinda funny.

It's the "definitive" podcast list, not the "moderation approbved kinde uncomplete" podcast list.

Well, I'm out! Downvote me as you wish, you're wrong and a fag.

It's allways good to be open about your sexual orientation.

That statement is well....kinda ridiculous unless you change "most" to "least" ,then I would say that you sir are spot on.

Good start for Rip Tide. I'm happy to see what they're doing there.

Again, this is not based on personal assumptions but "facts"... well or as close as they get when you see his listenership and that he won the Twipys.

The numbers that you see on his podcasts represent clicks not individual listeners. So a guy who can only stand him for 2 minutes at a time would click 15 times on average per podcast. It would also fit his personality profile to have bots click his podcast to make it look like he has more listeners. I wouldn't be surprised if he has one 10th of actual listeners that the podcast numbers show.

As for Twipy, anyone can come up with an award, as much as I enjoy TWIP for their news and reporting, I think they cheapen themselves by having such an easily skewed award show that has great potential for biased and incorrect conclusions. Based on the sample size of the votes compared to the number of pinball owners or even pinside for that matter, it would not pass statistical criteria for validity. Here is something to consider. Pinstadium won the TWIPY for best mod and they happen to sponsor TWIP but when you look at this thread's poll it makes you want to re-evaluate the results of the awards.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinstadium-or-pdi-type-glass#post-4376109

Best to keep the troll sleeping under a bridge, pinside is a much better place without him.

Not to get off track, but accusing the TWIPYs of being rigged and questioning the integrity of Jeff is in poor taste and offensive and quite frankly fucking ridiculous. A lot of work and time went into providing the yearly viewers choice pinball awards. Objectivity is everything to This Week In Pinball and it’s unfortunate that ignorant statements like this are out there to potentially derail efforts made to improve the legitimacy and enjoyment of the pinball hobby.

Listener numbers are goofy. Not counting Stitcher or streamed episode counts, our show would appear to have over 5,000 listeners per episode within the first 2 weeks of publishing and then anywhere from 100-300 listens per week on previous episodes. There's NO WAY we're pushing that many downloads and listens. If you add in the streamed listens and Stitcher, it would even be higher. I just don't buy it, so I've stopped caring what the counts say, because I sure as heck don't care enough to pay for a reliable analytics service.

Not to downplay the numbers of listeners that anybody has, but it's a really squirrely metric. The TWIPY does mean something, however.

Same could be said for you.

You really do not know what you are talking about or know how to interpret my statement so I guess I will help you. I stated that I enjoy TWIP which obviously means that I consider them a legitimate source of information. In no where in my statement did I accuse them of anything other than to suggest that they do not do those awards because some of their sponsors are nominated, sample sizes are not statistically valid, and the one particular poll actually contradicts the outcome of at least one of the awards. All legitimate contests are typically closed to family, friends, affiliates of any kind and that would include sponsors. TWIP does not need a contest like that can potentially mire them in controversy. You can choose to disagree with my views, debate me if you wish or PM me but keep it civil.

Gladly

Whatever you write does not explain "most" to "least".

Ok I'll bite. Sent a PM but might as well post here too to defend TWIP.

Pin Stadium is not a sponsor. They did a one time giveaway, as have about a dozen other pinball and mod companies. TWIP gets no money out of that, and even pay for shipping for winners when necessary. We actually have no one that helps sponsor the site itself currently, just the giveaways to pinheads like yourself.

Also, the pinside poll you reference to cast doubt on the TWIPYs has 80 total votes. Not sure that would pass "statistical criteria for validity", if the four digit votes for the TWIPYs didn't pass.

That being said, we do plan to improve the TWIPYs next year and will have several respected pinsiders validate the results as well as some really exciting things - we're already working on the TWIPYs for this year.

Now let's go back to the important subject of whether Kaneda should be listed here.

Flipside Pinball Podcast.

I won’t believe that it’s intentional that Kaneda’s Pinball Podcast isn’t listed here.

Come on write his name down. He’s no Voldemort. Nothing bad will happen when we say his name.

I must admit, he can often go on a rant (especially now with the whole Highway disaster) and I often don’t even make it halfway before I stop listening.
But he can offer some insights, news and rumors and it’s up to the listeners to decide who likes him and who doesn’t. Right?!

Kaneda. Kaneda. Kane... argh gurgle gurgle ...

THUMP.
