The Aussie Pinball Podcast

Josh from New Zealand joins us to talk about his Brisbane Masters Experiences, including THAT hat, why everyone is now playing on their knees, and the pinball scene in New Zealand. Alex and I describe our experiences at the Australian Pinball Expo in Adelaide and all the fun to be had there. 

Alex and I catch up and I chat with David about what's happening at Barrels with game production. We also talk about his visit to Australia for the Adelaide Pinball Expo, and what's the latest with planning for the Brisbane Masters week.

Emily and Dr John recently headed over to the USA to attend the Texas Pinball Festival and the Women's World Championships in Colorado. We hear about her success in Texas, the latest games on show there and our visit to the Barrels of Fun Factory in Houston. We also chat about the Women's Worlds held at Lyon's Arcade in Colorado and the great setup and results there. 

A quick chat about our trip up to Townsville for the Queensland State Champs and the paradise that is Jason's Empire Arcade and Level 1 facilities. 

Alex and I chat with Escher about his tournament playing and how he got to be the  number one player in the world. He shares his top tournament memories, memorable wins, and whether he still enjoys just playing for fun.

Alex and Dr John chat with Doctor Curlytek about the Melbourne Pinball scene. Stacy is mainly into competitive pinball, but we chat about his favorite games, his experiences at Melbourne Pinball Expo and why some University Degrees are more useful than others. You can catch Stacy on most Twitch stream chats about pinball, or on your favorite quiz shows, with various degrees of success!

This episode we chat about what goes into running a large pinball event. The Australian Pinball Open attracted over 110 players from around Australia to compete for large cash prizes. We pass on how we went about it, without actually talking about tournament pinball!

We catch up with Lyndon, owner of the Aussie Pinball museum in Nhill. We chat about his recent trip to Chicago for the Expo there, and his plans for the Australian Pinball Expo next year in July. 

We interview Andy to explore what a new pinball owner thinks of our hobby and the excitement of getting your first game at home. 

The new revamped Aussie Pinball Podcast returns with two hosts this time. Alex joins Dr John to talk all about pinball in Australia and are joined each episode by someone who shares the pinball passion. This episode we chat with Andy who has just ordered his first game, Dune by Barrels of Fun. We find out what he knows about pinball, why he decided to buy a new game as his first purchase, and what he expects when he gets it.
