I only listen to kaneda. His personality quirks sit well with me. I find him funny (my wife disagrees after the latest episode where he interviews a bunch of pinball companies), entertaining, informative, and anyone that can monologue like this man can for an hour plus whilst holding my attention span, deserves a medal! I truly believe he missed his calling in talk radio.
I have listened to other podcasts...most of them I clicked off within minutes. Not to say they weren’t good, I just didn’t find them as refreshing/entertaining. Kaneda can be a jackass, we all know this. Despite it, I thoroughly enjoy his rants, talking points, and his zany characters (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TONY “MONTANYA” as he says it). Is the guy Russian? I don’t even know wtf accent it’s supposed to be...I’ll tell ya Colombian ain’t it! The whole “kanedas master” bit I found to be....different. In a good way.
None of these guys making podcasts are getting rich, and are doing it for the love of the hobby. I respect and appreciate all who step up to the plate to deliver their various points of view, humor, and dedication to the hobby!
My two cents
