The Pinball Podcast

Mark Steinman, our recently crowned King of Pinball for 2013 took some time out of his busy travel and filming schedule to talk with Gene X Hwang. Joined by Mark’s wife, Anastasia, we get a great sit down moment where the three talk Mark’s award, some of the goals of PAPA, and what’s going on in the pinball scene.

Thanks to Gene, Mark, and Anastasia for their time!

So yeah, we are now schilling for NiftyLED.com!  Go get some!

Maverick, blah, blah, blah…  Honestly, we were tired and hopped up on medication, so we phoned it in even more than ever.  Is this the beginning of the end of TPP? *cough*

On the upside, Gene X joins us this month with an interview with Molly Atkinson from Pins and Needles in LA.  Stay tuned after our regular ramblings for that interview, and check out his new blog articles on PinballSoul.com.

Jeff is delirious with hot car exhaustion and Don is as uninformed as ever.  Join us for Episode 22 of The Pinball Podcast.

We already effed up. I started talking about Nick’s suggestion, then said I’d talk about it later and never got back to it. He wants a mod that allows for lane changing on older pins. Me too!

Pinsanity!
