PodcastAnalysis updated last month34 min listen
After watching the movie TENET, I was worried about the Oslo airport. Alas, just fiction. Morten provides all the Norway information and pinball tidbits as the country's IFPA Director and one of their best players.
Kineticist’s take
TL;DR
IFPA Norway director discusses pandemic impact on tournaments and shares personal story of loss.
Synopsis
Jeff Teolis interviews Morten Söbyskogen, IFPA director for Norway, discussing COVID-19 restrictions and their impact on pinball tournaments, Norway's growing competitive pinball scene, and Morten's personal journey through his wife Sandra's brain cancer diagnosis and death. The conversation covers pinball clubs in Oslo, tournament travel, streaming, and machine maintenance during lockdown.
