Rob Berk Interview / Expo Story time etc.- Inaugural Ep 1.0

I sat down with a legend who owns over a thousand pinball machines for episode one of the Pinball Podcast. A collector, curator, historian, and driving force and growing this amazing hobby we all enjoy... pinball. This is a NEW Podcast which records LIVE and then publishes teh edited final version later. Rob Berk founded Pinball Expo, built Past Times Arcade, and somehow turned a family basement hobby into a Guinness World Record. Today we talk rare pinball machines, 40 years of Expo chaos, and why my collection looks like a sad starter pack next to his. Expect first hand old-school stories, collector war stories, expo ups and downs and me turning red every time he casually mentions another legendary pinball machine I will never afford or a designer i forget the name of. The vibe is chatty, nostalgic, and informative. I truly feel blessed to have sat down and talked for what he called his longest interview. Lots of silverball history, amazing storytime and zero polished podcast energy. Just a dad with a mic asking the man with 1,000 pinball machines how the rest of us are supposed to cope. See you in the live chat, you beautiful degenerates. Bring snacks. I am still emotionally in tilt.
