Quoted from ZMeny:

I'm loving the sound of this. Much respect to this gesture and acceptance of the challenge!

Quoted from CNKay:

He is pinball herpes!
I vote mods lock this topic down already. The guy doesn't deserve the attention at all.
I liked it much better when you where shunned for even mentioning his name.
It's banned guys like him that give pinside a bad name.

Quoted from rai:

Why can''t he play the game and if it needs something fix it later on? To him a pinball is not something you play it's art to look at or something to hold on as speculation. He should have bought a Supreme pinball.

Quoted from Smack:

If you are creating a podcast solely for your Patrons that pay you then you are essentially preaching to the choir. If the only way you can listen to these is to pay the producer of the content, that loses a lot of journalistic integrity to me. At that point you are creating content for those that have already drank your koolaid.
I get it that it costs time and money to produce this content but typically you would get funding through advertising or sponsorships. Many podcasts have Patreons as well but they don't gate their content behind it and instead give other perks. Early access or chats with the hosts, etc etc.
To each their own, this is his model and that is fine, but you would figure he (or anyone that runs a podcast) would want to have as much reach as possible not limited to a small subset who pays you.

Quoted from iceman44:

Stop it.
Content is basically worth nothing other than entertainment value. It’s comical. Lol
Why Chris does it for chump change and subjects himself to the torture is beyond me.
Jack Danger does his stream for a living and I throw $5 bucks a month without ever tuning in on Twitch or rarely do. And Stern pays him too
But at least you get the real deal
Such a waste of time pimping yourself panhandling. Pinball companies are laughing their asses off
“Pinball media”? What a f ing joke that is! Doesn’t exist and nobody cares.
TWIP is the closest informative thing and I love that

Quoted from seenev:

I mean the podcast is more about kaneda getting Patreon supporters than pinball anymore so I guess his efforts are paying off.
I saw there was a new episode today called "I'm a loser." I didn't listen to it because it's clearly another episode all about kaneda and not so much about pinball. I'm guessing all these paying supporters are kaneda fans more than pinball fans, because that's what they're getting.

Quoted from jimwe5t:

He’s a snake and a liar are some of my friends exact words about ol Kman, lol. Understanding more that there are 2 sides to every tale. Yes, he is campaigning for a new Kaneda podcast with a paid wall. Now that I know some of the background, that he might be “hiding behind a paid wall for diaper money” comment made by Icey is hilarious. Chris cunningly used the banter to increase his paid subscriber base. Grats to him. Pinball people will spend thousands on machines and begrudge a few dollars to someone that increases their enjoyment. Go figure.
I’ve ragged on the boy to clean up his mouth in the past and told him it is so unprofessional to have a potty mouth like a drunken sailor. Lol Chris is not as innocent in all this as he tries to come off portraying. Smart marketers know how to manipulate their audience. Lol
