Brokentoken Classic Arcade and Pinball Podcast

Brokentoken Classic Arcade and Pinball Podcast

Join co-hosts Brent and Whitney as they share a ‘southern view’ (and some definite drawl) on the vibrant hobby of collecting, restoring and playing the arcade and pinball classics from the late 70’s to today. The podcast covers everything from the golden age of arcade gaming to the newest pinball titles currently hitting the streets and everything in between. Add in technical talk segments, collecting and restoration stories, interviews and sit-in guests as well as game room updates, forum news, listener mail and twitter questions (with the occasional live streams) and you’ve got a couple hours of your life you’ll never get back! GAME ON!

Let's call this one the "After Summer Hiatus 2022 show" :)

We're back in the studio after a rather impromptu break over the Summer and catching up on life, projects, more life and toss in some arcade and pinball talk along the way.

Yep, we admit it - the summer got away from us and we didn't get this episode out nearly as quickly as intended.  This one has been "in the can" for a couple of months, and we'll let you decide if we brought any heat... (insert wah wah sound here). 

We cover a host of topics from microscopes to power supplies to Rally-X and Toy Story 4 from JJP. Even though the pinball ...

It's the (hopeful) end of Winter weather here in the Bluegrass and that means the expo circuit is right around the corner.  In that vein, we feature a discussion about the upcoming 2022 Louisville Arcade Expo with organizers Corey Stup and Joe Stith and get amped up for the show - especially coming off of a two-year hiatus!

It's the podcasting breakfast of champions as we talk Spiderman:No Way Home, Brent's Carnival King, Stern's new Rush Pinball, Q&A on repairing the K7000 monitor, some 3D printing parts (that are now up on Thingiverse) and honor the genius of Lyman Sheats, Jr.

And we (non-ASMR) try some Ghostbusters cereal - yeah, it'll all make sense after you listen to the show. :)
