My current favorite podcast is Special When Lit and highly recommend it to those wanting to sample a pinball podcast for the first time. They seem like two guys with whom you would want to hang out AND they have had some great interviews. (I wonder how good the beer is?)
I will listen to Head 2 Head if I am interested in the interview, lately they have had some really good ones, but cannot get through the additional hour+ of the show.
I still enjoy listening to Kaneda's Pinball Podcast (there is nothing else like it, for better or worse) though I agree about the Patreon thing. If you are going to be a rebel, you don't look for sponsors.
