Mike’s background in punk music (Smoking Popes) meets our day-to-day life running a growing pinball club, playing in tournaments, and building out the pinball community. Each episode is us talking through the machines we’re enjoying, club updates, events we’re hosting, places we’re visiting, and whatever’s happening in pinball that week. It’s straightforward, conversational, and pulled from our actual experience in the hobby. If you want a real, honest look at pinball from people who live in it every day, this is the show.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T00:18:20.562983+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/punk-rock-pinball-7402335"},"episode":{"title":"034 - Building A Community - How Scenes Grow & Why They Die","slug":"034-building-a-community-how-scenes-grow-why-they-die","published_at":"2026-02-09T16:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/punk-rock-pinball-7402335/034-building-a-community-how-scenes-grow-why-they-die","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/punk-rock-pinball-7402335","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/9862cef2","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/9862cef2/7c92f40f.mp3","summary":"Join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/punkrockpinball Get your PRP Merch https://anxiousandangry.com/collections/punk-rock-pinball PRP Website https://punkrockpinball.com/ Join our Discord https://discord.gg/fhSYYQnhFd Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/punkrockpinball Discover some new music on the PRP playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0T3WsFYqgz8L4hZE4RVCcg?si=gLY738v7RtOi-_ZqBBrRTQ Find Local Tournaments https://punkrockpinball.com/pinball-events/ https://www.ifpapinball.com/ https://app.matchplay.events/tournaments Find Amazing Pinball Locations https://pinballmap.com/ The Punk Rock Pinball Podcast is back with what we think is Episode 34, and Marshall is here too… kind of. (If you’re watching the video, he bails on the chair almost immediately. If you’re listening, just know he’s nearby doing dog stuff.) This week we’ve got big PRPA updates, including the launch of the Women’s Punk Rock Pinball Association (WPRPA) and a brand-new women’s leaderboard built to create a more welcoming, confidence-building space for women to jump into competitive pinball. We also talk about why “women’s divisions” exist in the first place, why the vibe is different (and awesome), and how this helps grow the game for everyone. Then we get into the main topic: scenes . Punk scenes, pinball scenes, bowling scenes, whatever you’ve got. We break down how scenes actually grow (spoiler: it’s not algorithms, it’s people), why most scenes eventually die or splinter, and what you can do to keep your local community thriving.
