This is becoming one of my favorite podcasts. Really enjoy how well thought out they are ahead of time. And they sound great! My only comment was I wish they were a little more in depth, but that’s nitpicking. Highly recommended.
As for a future topic, how about an interview with a tournament director of a large tournament? Surely some good stories there.
Super kind words williams. Great news: Now on iTunes! Please subscribe.
I think we’ll likely see these stretch to 15 minutes, but it is a goal to keep them brief and to the point, and therefore do more of them. There may be special occasions were we go long, but it’s a matter of respecting the time of the person being interviewed (whether being busy, at work, family, pinball, etc). Who knows? Just wrapped up the first month, and I have a few “in the can”.
My main goal is: let them talk, not me. They are much more interesting then I am.

And a matter of respecting the time of the listener!
I listen to quite a few pinball podcasts. The problem most of them have is that the signal-to-noise ratio is poor. All the same things could be said in half the time in almost all cases.
There is value in brevity, and it takes effort to achieve it. To quote Blaise Pascal: “I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had time to make it shorter.”
A wise man once told me early in my radio career, make the listener want more. I try to keep these Pinball Profile interviews/podcasts to the point, and not talk for the sake of talking. In each one I’ve done, I could definitely go longer as these are interesting people (to me, and hopefully/likely to the listener). There’s no reason that I wouldn’t have these people on again in the future. But my main rule is: Let the person being interviewed do the majority of the talking. I’d much rather hear them than me.

Next episode (this weekend): Many contestants from The Ultimate Stern Pinball contest explain why they should win.
So great to see a pinball podcast (or any podcast for that matter) that keeps things brief, @PinballProfile. I work as a radio editor too and have a hard time grinding through long podcasts. Which sucks because many of them are interesting but as others have pointed out: There is no need in making everything that long. Keep it up!
