Talking Pinball on BBC

[NateG119]

Brilliant

Thrilled that this came out as well as it did. We filmed for about an hour playing games and answering questions so lots of shoutouts and information on the cutting room floor but I think they captured the fun of the hobby and good exposure for pinball and Pinfest

Alot of what was said in the studio and in voiceover were things I had said too (though i made it very clear the public have to pay an entry fee at Pinfest which they appear to have glossed over!)

I'm on BBC radio Northampton tomorrow morning at 7.20 then BBC Essex at 7.35 then my totally unexpected pinball PR journey comes to an end thanks for tuning in and I hope everyone enjoyed the story about the tortoise on the railway tracks just before me.

Resurrecting this thread with a quick update that BBC Radio Suffolk have invited me in to the studio tomorrow morning (I think 9.30ish) to do a round-up on Pinfest and how the east got on (so I'm very glad I have a few positives to share there including the ladies #1 and #2!) If you're in the right part of the country to listen please do tune in wonder if I'll get some more Addams Family quotes...

Thanks all! Always come away wishing I'd had the opportunity to talk about X or Y, as you never get long, but just happy to spread the word as much as I can
