G'day guys...it took a little longer than usual to get us all together to tape EPISIODE 5 of the Pinheadz PODcast but it's finally up! I hope you get a chance to take a listen. Cheers - Rod

This episode the tyranny of distance doesn’t stop Aussie Pinheadz being part of the US Pinball Festival season! We’ll investigate just how good a pinball show needs to be, to warrant travelling 13,500km to attend.

Find out what our Aussie Pinhead in Texas asked Steve Richie that got him all fired up.

Who are the all time great rock bands finally getting the call up to feature in a pin?

After losing one of the industry’s greats on April 9th, we celebrate the life & games of legendary pinball designer/artist Python Angelo.

Following Rod’s amazement that someone ran a fair dinkum pinball auction on eBay…we ask the question “Do Pinheadz actually use eBay”?

Pintech Stevie’s on a hat trick of potentially lifesaving pinball safety tips, Gaz is buying EM’s he doesn’t have room (or authorisation from the missus) for and Former IFPA Australian No.1 Pete Menzel is this episode’s guest co-host.

Great episode as usual. I think I really like how although you use a running sheet, the banter can go off in so many tangents. Keep up the brilliant work guys. Also having guests is an excellent idea :)

 Yeah, it's a great listen each month. Rod's enthusiasm is engaging and I love the dry humour from the other guys. Always brings a smile to my face.

I love the podcasts but did get a little annoyed with this one where Pete, I believe, got interrupted too often and then the conversation went on a different tangent. Pete at times could only get a couple of words out to respond to a question and then got interrupted. You'll notice he tries a couple of times to get back on track himself when I think that's Rod's job even though Rod was the cause of the problem.

But that's the only criticism I have in over 5 episodes though and maybe this happened because they called in their guest earlier than planned.

Please take this as an observation and no malice intended.   ^^^

Thanks Nino...really appreciate you listening mate!

HAHA! Thanks McKie1...you're right we may start with some semblance of a rundown but it's all just a catalyst for conversation. Glad you enjoyed the guests this EP - Pete & his partner Chrys were EXCELLENT! It was cool to get Shane from Geelong on the phone with his Texas report...we'll definitely try & do more of this sort of stuff.

Which reminds me - an open invitation to the AUSSIEPINBALL community...if anyone has a meet/expo/anything you want to give us a 'post report' on for the show, just flick us a message - we'd love to get you on the phone for a minute or ten!

You bet Wiked...just flick us a message when you're down this way.  ^^^

Too kind GORGAR 1! Thanks man.

Thanks Adam! Really appreciate the support.

Yeah it's funny, listening back I felt I didn't bring Gaz in enough this EP - but we're all listening with different ears. Pete was EXCELLENT, so I'd hope we'll be hearing more from him in future EPs!  ^^^

No offence taken Pinball God...I appreciate you listening this closely. Cheers Rod

Thanks Solar Value...you're very kind to put us in the same company as Nate's PODcast. He is a machine with the number of shows he puts out. We'll have to ramp it up one of these days  %$%
