The Aussie Pinball Podcast
The Aussie Pinball Podcast is all about pinball players in Australia. Alex and Doctor John host the show and chat about their experiences, and are joined by other Aussies who have a passion for the machines. Tips on how to maintain the games, where to buy them, what events are happening around Australia and stories about specific games and travelling to play are covered. Nothing too much about tournament play, more about the pure fun experience people find with their pinball adventures.
