## Resource

In this action-packed episode of The FlipSide Podcast, we’re diving into some of the hottest topics in pinball! Stern has announced that Foo Fighters is heading to the vault, but why so soon? We’ll break down the possible reasons behind this unexpected move. Plus, there’s controversy brewing in the Stern Pinball Cup—are players really cheating to win? On top of that, we’re speculating on Stern’s next cornerstone release, and I may have scored an exclusive invite to Chicago to get an early look at what’s coming. And let’s address the question on everyone’s mind: Is pinball dying? Nudge Magazine says absolutely not, and with the 2024 Pinball Hype Trailer on the horizon, I couldn’t agree more.
