Do you think in order to have the best pinball podcast you should own atleast 1 game in order to discuss the hobby with any expertise?

Its America and anyone can win a podcast award. How you can be voted the best without owning the item or not using donations for research by playing locations regularly is beyond me? I might as well be listining to my neighbor on their thoughts of pinball!
Comparisons of Tesla and tournament players are unrelated to the question? Better comparisons would be a car podcast from someone who doesnt own a car. Tournament commentater who has never played in a tournament. Get my drift?
If your going to buy shoes do you base your decision on reviews by owners or the marketing lingo on the box?

I put my money where my mouth is and DONATED to the podcast since the poll says YES. You will never change my mind however that a podcast that discusses buying, selling and the value of pinball without even owning a game themself is worthy of an award. Then use the donations for your personal pleasure instead of reinvesting it like other podcasts. A podcast like this has no credibility or expertise compared to anyone else walking down the street and is a FRAUD!

I thought this would come up but your talking about an action taken just a week ago and before voting starts. Before that you couldn't have said anything about charitable. Timing

Thats hilarious! Especially a thread started with a poll! No one seems to get it.
Not talking about just any podcast on the pinball hobby. A podcast that talks about what owners and buyers should demand from manufactures. Critiquing everything on what sells best, whats the best value, and everyone should do this, you should do that. ... guy doesn't even own a game.
Practice what you preach.
