| EP 5 - What's Missing in Modern Pinball? | 29 Jul 2025 | 01:12:01 | |
This week, we turn the mic toward our Flip N Out community and dive into what you think is missing in modern pinball. From built-in tutorials, holograms, drink holders, and even auto-leveling machines (because hey, pinball should know how to stand on its own feet, right?). We read your comments, give our own takes, and realize that while pinball feels modern, there's clearly still some growing up to do. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed. We're loving how involved this community is getting. Let's keep the conversation rolling (and the balls too).

| EP 6 - Pinball Confessions | 21 Aug 2025 | 01:04:42 | |
We asked our listeners to reveal their deepest, darkest pinball secrets, and they delivered. Some were bold enough to post publicly, while others slipped in anonymously with stories too wild to put their name on. From sneaky guerrilla marketing tactics on unsuspecting spouses, to hangover disasters at tournaments, to "creative story-telling" on what a machine really cost... nothing was off limits. Ken and Greg even step up with confessions of their own.

We sat down with David Van Es and Karl DeAngelo of Barrels of Fun to talk about their new pinball machine, Winchester Mystery House. Focused discussion on why this theme was chosen, how Karl DeAngelo approached the layout and rules, what toys/mechs made the cut, what the art team set out to capture, and why that in-game Pepper's Ghost is more than a neat trick. If you're a home player, an operator, or just curious about how a modern game comes together, this is for you. We cover how they aimed for "spooky fun" that families can enjoy while still giving horror fans something to chew on.
