He's just simply entertaining to listen to, aside from content. He could be talking about butter churning technique and I'd still tune in to listen. I certainly think he'll return to free episodes, and I also think all of this is totally thought out and calculated...his profession is marketing and it shows.

Huh?

Good lord, you are giving him way too much credit......nothing he does it thought out and that is what really shows.

I don't agree with everything that Kaneda says but I'll give him this, he's not afraid to speak his mind. So many other Pinball podcasts lack integrity as they are trying to stay in the good graces of certain pinball companies. Some of these other pinball podcasters may have friends or family that work for a pinball company, they are work for or are a pinball distributor, or they simply don't want to be critical of certain companies. Kaneda doesn't care about those factors and as a result speaks his mind. That speaking your mind part and doing it well keeps people listening.

His mind? Which one? Because he contradicts himself every few hours i’m not sure which you feel is genuine.

How long have people been mistreating this guy and/or threatening his livelihood? At least six years and counting, apparently:

Gotta feel for him. Just trying to enjoy pinball in peace but continually attacked and pulled into drama. If it weren't for bad luck, some people wouldn't have any luck at all.

Oh for fucks sake dude, really?? Funny how none of the other podcasters have to deal with "drama." 100% self-inflicted.

Did you read the posts about him at NYPC?

I will repeat that I enjoy his podcasts and have nothing against chirs, but drama follows him around. He seems to have been banned from just about every forum he has ever been a part of. His podcasts are best when he just talks about pinball, and the only real drama I ever see is when he talks about it. Yes, there are aholes in this forum, but the majority of members make this a great drama free community. He loves to sling shit at pinside, but I just don't see what he does.

I was a Patreon supporter for a few months but just resigned my donations. Having public podcasts made him gather his supporters. Leaving them behind for donation only listeners felt wrong to me.

Good luck Chris. Your shows were entertaining but Ciao for now.

Well that sounds fucking stupid.

(I was being ironical)

Thing is you sound exactly like his supporters, irony hard to detect. I removed my DV but someone else already dropped a new one...

No worries!

Shared that link because I hadn't realized how far back the victimhood quitting and job threatened allegations went (I've only been around for the two most recent cycles).

It'll be an interesting experiment because the content is topical but it isn't evergreen. He leaks a name, a rumor, a title and someone will post it here. And that's what people are going to want for their money: Entertainment and leaks. With that comes pressure to deliver. Nothing against someone earning money. He has the best pinball podcast out there. He's the most entertaining by far over the "two dudes recapping their league and some private jokes" for an hour and 1:10 minutes.

I never doubted Chris’s place of work has been contacted before, because he has lots of people who care way too much about him in a bad way. But it’s kinda hard to feel bad if Chris can’t just get his shit together and say it isn’t worth it. Course that was before his patreon way paying for about half of his kids day care…

The symbiotic relationship between him and his haters is amusing. He won’t stop because of spite, and his haters keep hating which only refuels his spite.

And I do think there are a few haters that wouldn’t admit it, but are low key jealous that Chris almost makes 20k a year providing pinball takes while they spend just as much time writing walls of text for free. The amount of attention Chris’s takes get is outrageous to some and it drives them wild while being annoyed at his large shadow in certain pinball topics.

The post where he forgets to log out of "kaneda" into his fake account is hilarious. I remember episodes here where he got busted having conversations with himself. The fact that he's become an award winning pinball podcaster is just more proof we live in a simulation.

Lol, making 20 grand off his podcast......sure he is.

320 x 5 =1600 x 12 = $26,200 - patreon fee (3k guess)

Sounds like the pinball podcast equivalent of radio Bob and Tom (and they're pretty much unlistenable)

Maybe the pinballnews or pinball magazine guys could start a podcast. It seems like they're strong demand for quality, non-assholery content

It seems I really got to him, he’s posting about me on Facebook! Awe Chris, did I hit a nerve? Poor baby!

Pinball magazine has had a monthly podcast for years now, look it up.
No duechbag content at all, just bad microphones.

Remember his alter ego, “Kanada’s master”? CRINGE

Anybody care to share the link to the Patreon RSS feed?

May want to recalibrate that calculator

A game, would you call billiards a toy? I cant believe everyone down voted my post and considers pinball childish toys?

Ya, not to mention multiplying his current "paid" listeners by 12 months.....after what.....less than a month.

Had some downtime at work so thought I might catch up on some podcasts since Howard Stern is on a break. Come to find the Kaneda one in not there on SoundCloud anymore. Kind of a bummer. As far as pinball podcasts go, it was one of the more entertaining ones. Never understood why people let the guy get under their skin so much. He’s kinda like that Colin Cowherd guy. It’s all about ratings, and ruffling feathers gets the ratings.

God, that was awful. Slow down the tape speed, and pretend you’re someone else? That and the Tony Montana impersonations were big whiffs.

Just got around to catching up on this thread, and it baffles me, how are people in such denial?
On his Facebook RIGHT NOW he’s making direct call outs for different users here. The foolish boy begs for attention.

I feel bad for TigerLaw not sure if you’re actually friends with him but you’ve become his temporary shield, shortly he will probably hate you and blame you for everything.

What I want to understand is how all these people pay him and bury their heads in the sand when he is blatantly putting his personal vendettas on his page? He really deserves everything he has gotten here, RGP, and Facebook. He is a nasty, and petty person who tries to ruin people’s lives. I will post screenshots for the Chris-apologists.

P.S. If Special K decides to admire me and wants to obsesses and fangirl over my post, please tag me here, I don’t watch his show. Genuinely gave it another try, but they’re very poorly produced and boring. He should take notes from talented folks like the Buffalo Pinball guys

By podcasters, not in life. Dont know what would give you the idea I meant it as everything in the whole world, so you make up news for a jab? Nice

At least one has mentioned they pay in one of higher tiers so who's to say what he makes off of it. Likely not enough to justify the work involved so he's certainly not interested in dollar amount but more the recognition of said work.

I did save all his old episodes, even the ones he deleted after a few minutes posting. What is the copyright situation if I repost these?

Recognition came in fine when he was free. Pay to justify? Nah. This ain’t his career. No one forced him to pound out 600 episodes.

When do I get my award for never calling out sick, being early and leaving late as well as being the best at what I do? Cuz it’s not about the paycheck….

Forgive me, for I have not read through this thread, but does he really try to ruin people”s lives? I have not heard evidence of this before. I get that he will talk trash on his podcasts or occasionally reveals a game early, but I wouldn’t say that falls in the category of trying to ruin people’s lives. Now if he called up your work and told your boss some bs about you, that certainly would qualify, but I have not heard that.

Thank you for you service.

Once he publishes something online, it’s fair game. Post the deleted ones where he’s slurring his words crying about pinside!

Anyone who has been banned from multiple forums and then created multiple shill accounts afterward including one posing as a woman should seek psychiatric help immediately! Ladyflippers I’m talking specifically to YOU! I lost all interest in what K had to say about pinball after his kiss ass early review of Wonka. It’s an ok game but there’s nothing revolutionary about it.

It must really suck to want to be part of this Forum but be banned for life.

Lol their podcasts pretty much are the example why people follow kaneda. They are dry, insufferably long, and stale news.

The sad part is the people “seeking entertainment” turn off their brains and morals to be entertained.

Publish the emails!

That’s not how it works at all

What the f@#$&? English is not even my second language but still I knew this was ironic. And Im not the sharpest of knives. Haha

You are posting about him here

Yep, I enjoy mocking him. And if he posts a free episode, I’ll listen.

In fairness, you came off whiny and self important.

He he gave me a Supernatural Gif; I get to be Dean!
"SAMMY!"

I wish I could post 37k times in a year

Let’s pump the brakes here, my stance is obviously well known, but we are also trying to maintain some civil discourse here. We don’t want this to became like the Old Taco bash thread. That’s not the point.

I’ve defended Chris’ personal right to make his podcast, and I am vehemently against Cancel Culture. As certain people like to say “you have a right to say what you want but we have a right to call you out on it” that fits here. Will he’s done terrible things, he hasn’t broken the law (that I’m aware of). He’s allowed to be a knobhead and make bad choices in his personal time. We should not “dox” or threaten his work or his livelihood, just like he shouldn’t.

We all have some life outside of pinball. Saying “JJP are a buncha crooks for their defective playfields!” Shouldn’t affect you as a doctor, or a lawyer, or a corporate worker, or retail. Try to keep the pinball lens in focus, this is not a personal attack thread, despite what the person in question has done.

He’s definitely probably broken copyright law.

Bro. When are you going to realize that everything about the “they called my employer” was a lie? It was marketing.

He made a Facebook account claiming to be Hilton, aka Whysnow. Then friended up a ton of people including Gomez and all the Stern guys while making personal post (as Hilton) and posting pics of Hilton's wife. That could be looked at as breaking the law? Identity theft?

And I believe throwing a drinking in a Stern's employee's face is considered assault.
I can't believe people don't remember this stuff.

Here's an old FB post from Bowen Kerins about it;
