In case you're in need of some Xmas road trip listening in the next week, or you're not planning on sleeping for the next hour & a half...just thought I'd post a quick plug for the launch episode of our new Australian - Pinheadz Pinball PODcast! After procrastinating & thinking about doing an Aussie pinball podcast for the last couple of years I finally got a couple of the local Canberra Pinheadz together & made it happen.

There are obviously a number of things that differ between Australia & the US for those of us into the hobby, so hopefully we now have a podcast that features those things unique to Australia.
We'll be releasing new monthly episodes next year & would love to hear any ideas for segments or discussion points that you think would be cool in the show. There's an EPISODE RUNDOWN at our FACEBOOK page & there'll be plenty more discussion there over the coming days & weeks.

Hit us up with any questions you have about the show on FACEBOOK, on TWITTER at @RODsaid or here of course! Look forward to chatting more about the show & PODcasting about pinball in Oz during 2014.
Cheers

You're not wrong Swinks! Newcastle seems to feature fairly prominently in EPISODE #1 too ^^^

GOOD CALL...
Rod, Gaz & Pinball Stevie reflect on where their love of pinball started in Australia, before declaring 2013 – YEAR OF THE PINBALL PODCAST! The team then look at the impact social media has on marketing pinball in 2013/14, before debating “WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST THING IN PINBALL FOR 2013″. And the nominees are…
•METALLICA LE selling out in hours
•WIZARD OF OZ begins shipping
•The emergence of an Australian pinball manufacturer with the THUNDERBIRDS LICENCE
•Planetary Pinball putting MEDIEVIL MADNESS back into production
•JOHN TRUDEAU joining STERN PINBALL
Finally a look forward to next year & next episode leaves us wondering could 2014 be bigger than 2013…NO WAY! Or could it?

Just finished listening to it all. A really well presented show and thoroughly enjoyed listening.
Great format and well structured with equal air time given to all topics.
Just shows that pinball has a future in Aus if you have people who are passionate about the hobby and in it for the right reasons.
It would be great if you could allocate some air time for a future show devoted to all aspects of the Canberra pinball scene if possible. ^^^

Thanks for the plug Rod ! You really do have a great voice for radio. I enjoyed the podcast and I hope they become regular.
I was surprised (or I missed it) - John Trudeau is one of my favorite designers, and his designs at Gottlieb were very different from the Williams and Ballys of the era. My favorite table of his was SPIRIT. Both Spirit and CFTBL were amazing designs from this legend and I can't wait to see him let loose at Stern.

Thanks for taking the time to listen Pinsanity...and big thanks for the kind review! No question there'll inevitably be more about pinball in the nation's capital. But hopefully we can get an insight into what's happening around the country throughout the year with the use of various contributors as well. Keep the ideas coming ^^^
Cheers

a interview with Mr Hankin would be cool

Spirit was way ahead of its time and a chalenge to play. Not many made it down under and I was fortunate to play a new one all those years ago.

Downloaded and ready to listen to it in the car on the way to work. Despite my addiction to technology, this is the first podcast I've actually downloaded in the podcast app on my phone.
Have also spread the word on Twitter and Facebook.
Cheers!
Adam.

Yeah, I reckon that's a MUST next year...maybe we can finally find out what really went down with the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK licence. Any contacts or leads on who could get me in touch with David Hankin? I'm guessing the Pizza n Pinball boys up there could get me in the ball park.

Thanks Adam! Really appreciate it mate. I hope DOWNLOADING your first podcast wasn't as involved a process as UPLOADING my first podcast. It was like I was studying for my year 12 exams all over again...if my memory of what year 12 was like 20 odd years ago anyway. Hope you enjoy it.
-
Mike (Homepin) would be in regular contact with Hankin, and while you are at it, I'm sure Mike would be more than happy to spread the word about Thunderbirds !
-
Ill listen to this this evening! Cool to see enough people in Canberra on the same topic to warrant a podcast. I've done a number of podcasts in my time (slowly got together a collection of decent microphones) - they can be just as fun making them as listening to them.
-
Just finished listening to this great job. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets distracted trying to identify any pinball machine that pops up in a movie!
-
I had some doubts about this for some reason but I have to say it was surprisingly good! Well done!
Really friendly and interesting banter about pinball, looking forward to the next instalment.
-
Got around to listening to the podcast yesterday - nicely put together and really well balanced show. Certainly looking forward to the next installment. @@* @@*
-
Sent me to sleep...... but that was good seeing I was listening to it in bed. Got about an hour into to it and enjoyed it but it was bed time. Need to listen to the rest. Well done guys.
-
Perfect pick for the music - that little clip from Sesame Street is indeed my first pinball memory, too! Hah.

BIG THANKS to the Australian pinball community for the amazing support we've received for our first episode! Testament to the enthusiasm & interest in pinball in Australia right now was the appearance of the Pinheadz Pinball PODcast at No.1 on iTUNES Australia TOP 10 Games & Hobbies Podcast Chart after only two days! I'm not sure there's a more niche category on iTunes...BUT WE'LL TAKE IT!
Looking forward to January for EP#2 already! I'm really excited about the interview I recorded with Niño at Australian Pinball Restorations last week...as one of the few Aussie kids to grow up in arcades with his dad being one of the country's first operators (if not THE FIRST back in the early 50's) he's a Pinhead who can give us a unique insight into a lifetime of our hobby. I'll let you know as soon as it's up - or just click any of the links below.
Thanks again.

Is there anyway to download this as a straight mp3 file? I'd really like to listen to this podcast.
I have a real dislike for Apple, thier products and especially iTunes software.

Thanks Pinsanity...you're way ahead of me!
For those non Apple guys & girls you can grab it from STITCHER RADIO as well. ^^^

No worries, CR.
I only bypassed ITunes because like pinballer I am not a fan of their software being installed on my PC and since you guys were generous enough to make the PODcast available for free I took the opportunity to grab a direct download instead.
Looking forward to Ep2 in the New Year.

What sort of setup are you using to record this? The quality is great...I'd be interested in hearing what sort of microphones you used! It's been a while since I've done any recording, but for podcasts I've got two Audio Technica AT3035s and run them into a little Yamaha desk, then to whatever I'm recording on.
-
Only started listening to this a few days ago after I heard it mentioned on Coast 2 Coast AND Pinball Podcast, only halfway through but loving it so far. Great to hear some Aussie accents talk about pinball!
-
I enjoyed it as well while designing, well done
maybe a monthly feature segment could be pinball activity in each city of Aus???? good for the person that travels and we learn whats around.
-
I would like to listen to it if it had nothing to do with Apple or I could just download it without having to "join" anything - I get far too much junk mail and messages and "register here" as it is.

You can download it here without needing iTunes:

1st rate podcast as good as the American ones, great to hear an Aussie podcast after all these years. Well done guys, keep up the great work ^^^

Finished listening and enjoyed it to the max

That just gives me the message:
"video can't be played because the file is corupt"

You should be able to right-click the "download" link and "save as" or download the MP3. That should work in any browser, I'd think.

Just download the file by clicking on the "download" button and play it as you would play an mp3 file. Apple won't be able to steal your soul, trust me.

G'day Mike, hope you're well mate & hope you get to take a listen...you get some pretty big wraps in this Ep! If you're still having any worries just click in the STITCHER link below in my signature - you can stream or download without any Apple involvement. Anyway, good seeing you in Newy - look forward to catching up in 2014. Cheers Rod

I think this will be a definite Swinks! I'll work on it for Ep3 or 4 ^^^

Thanks Shane! Hopefully the accents aren't too much for the international listeners...I know I've seen the odd Aussie on US TV with subtitles underneath. #@#

A truly humbling review...we really appreciate it! Cheers

Thanks BuzzMoo, the show is taped in the CANBERRA FM building where I work. I'll take a shot of the studio & some of the gear for you when we head in to record Ep2 next week. ^^^
Thanks again to everyone for the positive response to our first Ep...& your encouragement to keep going has us really pumped to get back in there in tape Ep2!
Cheers Rod, Gaz & Pintech Stevie!

No matter what I try it keeps telling me I must download iTunes??? (which I will never do while my arse points to the ground)
Surely there is a simpler way of distributing this?
-
Mike, must be your dodgy setup.... ha
Do you want me to upload to dropbox for you? (170MB)
Also, Rod this is a champion effort. We left home for our 1100km Christmas drive to family at 1am, so in the wee hours of the morning whilst dodging Kangaroos between Charters Towers and Emerald, it kept me alert and interested - really good relaxed commentary and info!

Thanks Rob, much appreciated mate...not that I think my effort is a patch on yours though - 1100km drive?!?! When I used to drive across to Charters for the Drive In Theatre there were more roos on the way than cars. Travel safe - I'll be up there later in the year...I'll give you a yell if you're about. Cheers Rod

I get that with firefox, but worked fine with IE.
Now to have a listen!
That just gives me the message:

good on ya boys looking forward to the next o ^^^ ^^^ne
-
ooioioi
-
Anyone who hasn't listened to these really should download and keep it in the car etc when you have some "dead time" - great stuff and well worth the effort to grab them all. Well done Rod and team.
-
Yep, Mike is correct. This podcast is great. Entertaining and never wears out it's welcome....regardless of how long it runs. Hate turning the radio off when I get to work when I'm in the middle of the podcast.
...and I reckon you need to mention Wagga more. Every episode just isn't enough. Haha
Keep up the great work, Rod and the boys. Look forward to a game of pinball with you all on day.
Cheers!
Adam.

Each episode gets longer in duration. I'd say by episode 6, the duration will be "all day", which would be GREAT to listen to while working on pins all day @@*
