1 hr 8 min listen · Aug 14, 2025

Welcome to the Pinball Nerds Podcast! Your host Orbital Albert will nerd out with you about all things pinball, with a focus on his goal of someday becoming a pinball wizard!
"Maybe I'm a little biased because I know "Orbital" Albert personally and have had the pleasure of being a guest on his podcast, but here's my review anyhow. Firstly, I'm amazed by the sheer productivity of how many episodes he has recorded in such a short span of time (even though the frequency of episodes has slowed down a bit). As a long time listeNERD, it's been quite an emotional roller coaster and a privilege to be privy to the inner-monologue of a fellow pinball enthusiast talking about the big news stories of the day. Orby's style is quick and dirty and released with minimal editing, which can be a bit rough on the ears oftentimes. Speaking "off-the-cuff" he sometimes can go way off script, which can also be a bit frustrating, but eventually you'll just accept these things as part of the show's unfiltered charm. I love the energy, I love the passion and whenever he screws something up, I just have a little chuckle. It's a must listen if you eat, sleep and breath(e) PINBALL!"
