Profile

Canadian Pinball Podcast is a pinball-focused podcast co-hosted by Mike Dymus and Tony that emerged around 2018, initially characterized as a casual, minimally-produced show focusing on collecting journeys and pinball road trips. The podcast appears to have served as a source for pinball industry rumors and insider information, including reports on pricing changes and personnel departures at major manufacturers. However, evidence suggests significant confusion about this entity's identity and scope in available sources.
