#12: Sitting on the Corner of Broadway and Main
Scott and Ryan once again talk to each on the phone for an hour. In this call, which is being shared with you, they catch up on what they were doing moments before the call before launching into some Pinball Map updates. Such as: they have both been separately writing for the This Week in Pinball (TWIP) newsletter; the map tiles are now self-hosted; and there were some website design updates. Meanwhile, Joe leaves a voicemail about a literal dream machine, and Ryan leaves a voicemail with a scene report from AYCE Gogi. There are also quizzes and more.

#11: When Was The Last Time You Ate Nachos?
What did we do this summer? Traveled a bit. Did not play that much pinball. One of us bowled. Both ate nachos. Amidst all that, quite a few Pinball Map updates were made. We discuss about some of these updates in excruciating detail, and skip some others. Ryan quizzes Scott about geography. Scott answers correctly. Scott produces a scene report from Slim’s. Scott makes guarantees, while Ryan promises nothing.

#09: What Is That All About
Scott and Ryan talk about map tiles again, unfortunately. But also shoes, RSS, Buenos Aires, bat games, beanies, Kineticist links, 10,000 locations, and more. Ryan stretches his interview chops to the limit and asks Cory Casella, co-director of the Los Angeles Pinball League and Belles & Chimes Los Angeles, what is that all about. And asks other questions. Scott gives a scene report of the Sandy Hut in Portland, and Ryan returns his call and gives a scene report of Revenge Of in Los Angeles.

#01: The Plunge
Pinball Map is a mappin’ site for finding public pinball machines. It’s pretty popular, and we’ve been working on it for 10 years.

Then we dip in with esteemed location player, Danny B, to see what he has to say. We also choose the Username of the Month, and quiz Scott about last month’s map usage statistics. We round out the episode by telling you what’s coming up.
