Quoted from chooch:

Are there any other podcasts that keep you up to date with what is going on in the hobby at a frequency such as Kaneda's without being a shill so they can get interviews? I don't get to keep up with all the threads on here and enjoyed his short but informative podcasts. Of course his rumors were not always accurate however he did a good job talking about what was going on in the hobby with an unbiased point of view.
I am open to other podcasts however many I have turned off after a few minutes because they were painful to listen to. I don't want to know about your weekend or what you ate for dinner. I just want to know what is currently going on in the hobby.

Quoted from drfrightner:

Can we just call a spade a spade here? Doesn't matter if you like him or not he's an attention hog. I called it last time, I said the minute Guns N Roses gets close or comes out he'll be back with his podcast. Why do you guys keep letting this fool, fool you? Lets use common sense here... why would his work care what he does in his spare time?
Do you really think his work cared one bit that did a pinball podcast? Seriously?
That whole thing was a farce and people bought into that non-sense. Yeah someone probably called his work and complained about him, and his HR probably called him and said something almost like this 'Some moron called and complained about you doing a pinball podcast'. Then Kaneda used the event to cast spotlight on himself.
Then what did he do? He went to facebook and continued his podcast essentially so WHAT HAPPENED with his job being threatened? I guess that was a lie!
Why can't he do the podcast but he can do it on facebook where there is millions more eyeballs. It doesn't make sense.
Then what happened? Simple, the second Guns was about to debut he did EXACTLY what I said he would do ... he came back.
Now look at his numbers of listeners on his podcast they've plummeted he's doing at least 1000 less listens on each podcast. Then what happened, he gets all pissed off about the 5 dollar plastic trophy known as 'TWIPPY' he whines he complains then BOOM off the air again. With the Twippy's new system plus his listenership down by a TON he probably figured he was going to lose and his fragile ego can't handle that.
Now the rumor is Deeproot sent him a legal letter, who cares! What did he do wrong nothing? He offers his opinion and nothing more. Kaneda has never nor will ever influence a single person to buy or not buy a pinball machine. He's entertainment and sometimes he provides insight or news.
If its true that Deeproot sent him a letter, I find that funny because this is a guy who's revealed Munsters artwork to leaking the Stranger Things video and no lawsuits. Look this is what the MEDIA does they leak info, they offer information or opinions.
Kaneda knows he did nothing wrong, its just another attempt having people casting attention upon him. If someone did send him a legal letter, people send them all time, you tell those people POUND SAND and you'll never hear another word. Kaneda just like all the other podcasters are entitled to their own opinions, leak news, and everything between. I registered a URL World Series of Pinball, Caesars Casino sent me a cease and desist, I sent them back a note that said GO POUND SAND you don't own the generic words 'Pinball' and I asked them to identify when they created the term 'World Series'. Guess what I never heard from them EVER AGAIN and I still own the URL. It costs virtually NOTHING to send a letter. Kaneda just wants attention.
Prediction, I just think people are over Kaneda and its time to move on. He owns NO pinball games NOT ONE!
He's irrelevant on every level! If he does his podcast again good for him, and he will but in the meantime back to talking about pinball with people who actually OWN THEM, SELL THEM, BUY THEM, or create products for PINBALL!
That is my take!

... then that's basically an immediate ban....

Well, I was under the impression that you aren't allowed to threaten other pinside members, and their families, with physical harm. Seems like a no brainer policy. Let me check the community guidelines. Yep, they specifically state that personal attacks, suggestions of violence, and threats are forbidden. Seems clear to me.
