I love pinball. I always have. Even when I was would go to arcades as a kid, I was always drawn to pinball. Recently, when I heard about the strange and sorted history of Pinball, I decided it was time to do an episode on the older, more cerebral brother of video games. I found THE pinball historian, Seth Porges, as we talked about how pinball destroyed a generation of young children (supposedly), a Mayor named Little Flower, and our favorite innovation: The Multiball.
