In this episode Alan and Alex talk about what Alex likes to describe as the "best thing that has ever happened to pinball!". Hear about what they are, when they started, and whose fault they are.
We discuss our opinions on them in general and talk about some of our favorites, and which ones should be deleted for good.
Are they fun and engaging, or inherently a bad idea?
...also we're adults, we swear sometimes.

Episode 4 - The Brief History of Wedgehead
Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast
In this episode Alan is joined by his business partner Chris Rhodes, and they form like Voltron into Wedgehead. We discuss how we met, the beginning of our pinball bar, the evolution and challenges presented by covid and the economy, and about what we feel makes us different from the rest with some occasional colorful swears.
Disclaimer: This episode was recorded in far from ideal circumstances, in our bar with makeshift mics, due to scheduling limitations with myself and Rhodesie. Thus, the raw recording was extremely noisy and echoey. I spent a lot of time trying to get this recording cleaned up and salvageable, and I think that while it's still noisy, it's at least listenable, so I am still releasing it for you to enjoy.
I am learning about audio recording and editing on the fly in my spare time, and am trying to get better with each episode. Some reverb and imperfections exist in the previous episodes too, but this is the most noticeable, and I really thought I wasn't gonna be able to get it to this point even, so I hope y'all like it. I learn a lot with each one of these, and I promise future episodes will be better.
Lesson learned: Don't record in Wedgehead itself, on bad mics!

Episode 6 - Howdy Pardner!
Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast
Special guest Zoe Vrabel joins Alan and Alex as they discuss the history of the popular casual team based pinball tourney format "Howdy Pardner!"
We discuss what it is, how it works, and what makes it so much different than standard pinball tournaments, and describe how Alan created the format from scratch to host each Thursday night at Wedgehead.
Zoe speaks from her background as a top IFPA player and tournament director, and why Howdy is such a great breath of fresh air into organized pinball, including why she enjoyed playing in and running it so much.
It's a rootin' tootin' good old time!
...with some swearing. *%$#
