"While I enjoy playing competitively, I have really, REALLY struggled to enjoy competitive pinball discussions on podcasts. I'd chalk this up to two main issues. The shows dedicated to competitive pinball have generally not fared well in terms of regular programmatic output (though most appear to be good concepts), and the shows that just touch on it occasionally tend not to do the subject matter justice (primarily by forgetting the gulf between what they are talking about and what the audience does, or does not, already know).
Final Round does not face this problem. It strives for an output level that offers a level of consistency without feeling stifling or excessive. Martin and Jeff both have a lot of expertise when it comes to playing competitively and when it comes to podcast hosting (with Martin a former host of Head2Head and Jeff the current host of Pinball Profile).
Final Round has avoided the dreaded "tournament recap" approach many sometimes-competitive pinball podcasts fall into (it's a trap!) and instead explains competitive concepts, offers interviews with competitive players, and most importantly, secures the biggest and best sponsors for each and every episode. It's funny and it's intelligent, and is probably the best gateway podcast into competitive pinball ever forged."
