Re: TOPcast wanted guests

I imagine you will exhaust the key shakers and movers in addition to the ones
that have declined so you may have to go to the next level of folks in the hobby
if you want to continue to do more shows.

Steve Young would be good.

Maybe a couple of the top ranked world players.

I'd like to hear Bryan and Lloyd on the same show since they are probably even
funnier when together.

Rick Swanson. I imagine he can talk about most anything and it will be funny.

Anyone that has a history of making game parts such as plastics, silk-screened
backglasses, targets, pop bumpers, switches and any other odds and ends.
Especially long time manufacturers that may still be around since they could
talk about the process they used then and now, and what they've seen over the
years.

Tim Arnold again. I could listen to several shows of Tim with a different theme
for each show rather than a general question and answer session.

Have Clay interview Norm one night and on another night have Norm interview
Clay. Make it a straight interview though (if possible). Explain what went in to
making the tapes/DVDs, hiring Candy for a video, etc. As an aside, would also
like to see a video of "out takes" from the various tapes.


Any operators that have been in the business for a long time to tell what it was
like in the "old days" as compared to more recent times. The Sands Museum
interview was interesting.

Any arcade owners that have been around for awhile or even newbies to the
business.

Clay's friend Marvin.

Russ Jensen.

Wayne if you could get him to do it.

Go through the current list of pinball parts suppliers and ask them for an
interview.

Various pinball show organizers. Would love to hear their stories about what
goes in to hosting a show as well as the crazy crap they encounter in the
process.

Finally, I've heard some of the guests refer to others that they really
respected and admired for their work. No one in particular but surely they would
be a good resource for the behind-the-scenes folks that did a lot of quality
work. Would be interesting to hear from them as well.

Not in any particular order.
1. Gary Stern
He doesn't seem to talk to anyone, much less TOPcast.

2. Joe Blackwell
Declined. When YOU talk to him on the phone,
you can ask him why.

3. Lyman Sheets
4. Pat Lawlor
Originally accepted, but has now recanted and declined.

5.Keith Johnson
6.Kevin O'Connor
7.Duncan Brown
Declined.

8.Larry Demar LED
Declined.

Infact, all the LED guys (Scott, Duncan, Larry) have
declined. They don't give reasons for this either.

Please name some if you want them heard.
Jason.
