Profile

Kaneda's Pinball Podcast is a Patreon-supported media platform and podcast series hosted by Kaneda, positioned as an independent, critical voice in the pinball industry. With 700+ subscribers and episodes numbering in the 1100s-1180s range, it covers pinball industry analysis, game reviews, and market commentary while maintaining editorial independence from manufacturers like Stern. The show has evolved from a single podcast format to a multi-platform presence including YouTube livestreams (Saturday Morning Spectacular, Late Night), exclusive member content, and community discussion forums, positioning itself as consumer-focused rather than industry promotional.
