Great Podcast highlighting the historic and memorable events in Pinball history.
Ron and David make an excellent pair going through Pinball’s most memorable events, leading industry figures and eras of Pinball. The episodes featuring designers, engineers and employees are especially engaging. These in-depth reviews of past games, significant events and unusual tidbits scattered throughout Pinball history make this a unique Pinball podcast, not seen since Topcast.
David’s extensive research and Ron’s history in the hobby combine for a wonderful podcast experience. Each person brings their own unique flavor and the banter between hosts make a memorable listening experience each episode. I would highly recommend the show to anyone new to the hobby and all listeners interested in a specific pinball era, company or creator.
The only pinball podcast worth your time
Unlike other pinball podcasts, which devote hours to discussing a single pinside thread, Silverball Chronicles us actually interesting.
Best GD Historical Pinball Podcast Around Period
I cannot think of another podcast that I have enjoyed as much and as consistently as this one. Like many others, it’s so interesting, informative and fun that I’ve listened to each episode multiple times. Keep up the amazing work you guys!
This show is exactly what I was looking for
Absolutely love listening and learning the history of the game and the hobby I enjoy so much. The content is spot on and always super enjoyable. Please keep up the good work!
Great pinball history show!
I really appreciate Dave and Ron’s ability to piece together the history – manufacturers, designers, artists, the drama, the layoffs – and create the behind the scenes narrative on what happened in the past, and how they relate to the modern industry. It lets us know that the industry is in a great place today (sales, cash on hand/investors, home buyers), but one slip up (or new technology to pull people away – i.e. video games), and it can all come crashing down again. Super interesting topics and history, all told with plenty of passion and humor – just go listen.
