Episode 13 of The Meltdown Pinball Podcast is a continuation of the last episode, right where we left off. This is part two of our collaboration. as the Post Pinburgh Decompression continues.

Rejoin Duncan McFarlane, Luke Cervi, Jack Danger, Kikasaurus Rex and me as we continue to break down Pinburgh and other pinball stuff.

There's still no synopsis here ... but, there were still many, and large quantities of beverages involved in the making of this production as well (see cover photo).

Episode 12 of The Meltdown Pinball Podcast is a group of pinballers going through ... not Post Pinburgh Depression as stated in the New Pinball Dictionary, but Post Pinburgh Decompression.

This is part one of our collaboration, and I decided to separate it at a very appropriate point (you'll see .. or rather you'll hear). Part two (episode 13) will be released soon and will pick up right where part one leaves off.

Join Duncan McFarlane, Luke Cervi, Jack Danger, Kikasaurus Rex and me as we break down Pinburgh and many other pinball things as they come up. This was Duncan's first Pinburgh competition, and ReplayFX was Luke's first-ever pinball show so I was happy to have their perspectives on ReplayFX, Pinburgh, and pinball in general.

Although we were decompressing after Pinburgh ended, most of the discussion is "evergreen" as we cover more topics than just ReplayFX.

There's no synopsis here ... Well, I'll add this: Many, and large quantities of beverages were involved in the making of this production (see cover photo).

 This is the third and final part of the It Never Drains in Southern California edition of The Meltdown Pinball Podcast with Imoto Harney, Antoinette Johnson, and Michael Gottlieb.
--
Also joining us will be 2019 INDISC Grand Champion Colin Urban, Tournament Director Jim Belsito and Daniel Spolar of Project Pinball. The conversation gets a little more tournament focused as we talk about the strategy aspects of card-based or set-based qualifying, also known as the former PAPA style. And we watch as the competition is winding down, until a time when we decide to relocate.
