Incredibly pissed that some individual (or Company) felt they had the right to threaten a person to this point in order to silence their voice. How dare you take away his right to 'freedom of speech', and our right to listen! SHAME ON YOU!

me too. I love listening to his show
I’ve never listened to his podcasts so I’m not really sure what happened, but if you act like a real big shot and leak information you shouldn’t then don’t be too shocked when people get pissed and start messing with you.

Makes you wish there were a chance it's all just a bunch of hyperbole and drama spun up by the K-man himself to goose the ratings.

where is this info?
I’m glad he’s not ACTUALLY dead.
Going after people at work is a cheap shot. People really should be better than that. I thought this kind of thing happened to him a few years ago and he shrugged it off.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:But he was so young!
Was it the COVID?!
Lupus?!
Death by Twippy...

I feel you bro....
During this time, someone makes it that I don't have some entertainment to get me through the Covid pandemic? What a bunch of BS. If it was due to leaks, then look within who gives out your info and tighten that up. I'm pissed.... It's all a control thing because they don't like him.... 
Quoted from NeilMcRae:Whoever the chicken shits are that did this you are a big fat fucking fail.
Had to get my thumbs up in before I get banned in the other thread. LOL
Quoted from Gorgar666:I use to listen to many different Podcasts....Dumped them all except this one. Now what?
poormans, if you skip the first 5 minutes
So sorry to hear this news. Kaneda was a breath of fresh air. Even though I didn’t always agree with him he was like-able, honest, got to the point and had a conversation with the listeners very much like Howard Stern. Those whom talked trash about him likely didn’t listen or were blind with bias. Hell, I hated the guy early on from his pinside days but had a change of heart when he grew up right before my ears and we all got to know him.
Chris is a talented guy and will find continued success despite this or the ugliness we see from the army of pinball “enthusiasts” that make so much noise these days.
I will miss listening to Kaneda while mowing this summer. His podcast was also the first podcast I ever cared to try out and I was a listener since episode one.
But for me, it was just a podcast about pinball and I refuse to have any emotional response over this matter. It wasn't going to last forever.
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:Can someone explain what happened for those of us that don’t listen?
Complaints against the podcast were made to the company Chris works for and as a result they asked (or strongly suggested) that he stop broadcasting.
He had a lot of enemies...Stern, AP, Zach, Hilton....the list goes on.
I disagreed with him a lot but he raised good questions about quality and was pretty neutral unlike the TPN which is run by a distributor trying to get you to buy games.
Quoted from TonyScoots:He will be back ! Just give it time
No he’s done with pinball podcasts. Look for him over in European Hydroplane Enthusiasts. When K leaves one hobby group, he moves on to the next thing. What I wanna know is will he own any pins one year from now?
Nah he works in PR, not a good look to be sabotaging other companies PR. If I was his employer he wouldn’t have been given a choice, he’d be a full time podcaster about right now. He’s either lucky or really good at his day job.

Dear Fans,
You are all the best. Unfortunately, I have to step away from the podcast scene. This decision was actually a very easy one to make. A few people decided to go after my employer with accusations about me. My employer is amazing and fully supports me, but they do not deserve to be dragged into any pinball related issues.
I love my job, I love my friends at work and I love what I do for a living. I worked way too hard to get where I am just to have people within the pinball space try and undermine my reputation and hard work. The current climate is not one I wish to cause any additional headaches for my company. They have enough on their plate right now as I'm sure you can imagine.
I do not know specifically who did this (no it was not Aurich so please don't hurt him). Nothing I have said or done on my show justifies this behavior. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in today. A few determined cowards can ruin it for everyone else. Also, please don't blame the liberals for this, that's just weird 
Wear a MASK!
A few things to remember:
- I am not dead (that R.I.P. pinside thread gave me a chuckle)
- Oktoberfest is still the worst theme ever
- I need a break, so if I don't respond to you right now, it's not personal
- Be good to each other
Love,
Kaneda, Brenda & Bubba
