Before interviewing Bryan, Rich and Jason honor the memory of Karan Conklin from the Space Walk of Fame Museum in Titusville, Florida. They also discuss the newly released Netflix Apollo 13 documentary and Rich's recent interview about coins flown in space. After that comes super space memorabilia collector Bryan Edwards from Minnesota. Bryan discusses his unique path into space collecting. Learn about his father rubbing elbows with NASA personnel in Houston and how growing up in Houston fueled his passion for collecting space memorabilia. They then discuss everything from autographs to flown heat-shield lucites. Downsizing a bit, Bryan is moving to North Carolina shortly and -- teaser! -- there won't be a garage sale.  You will, however, hear some fun stories from the hey-day of the autograph shows, including a unique interaction with the Last Man to Walk on the Moon, Gene Cernan.

Considering their prodigious respective careers, the upcoming release of legendary G.E. Smith and LeRoy Bell’s Stony Hill, sets the bar high. Between them, first-call blues/rock guitarist Smith and revered soul/R&B singer-songwriter Bell have crafted a uniquely compelling rock ‘n’ soul record that’s poised to attract all music loving audiences. Why the name Stony Hill? It signifies the struggle of ‘pushing that rock up the hill’ muses Bell. The collection chronicles an in depth look at where we stand as an American democracy without prejudice or presumption. LeRoy delves into the pulse of the American culture with his wise tone and delivers the eleven co-written songs with conviction. “I’ve been looking for a great singer for thirty years, at least – not just a good singer, but a great singer,” Smith recalled of first hearing Bell in 2018. “I said: ‘that’s the voice – that’s the one I’ve been looking for!’” Perhaps best known for his decade as the distinctively ponytailed musical director for Saturday Night Live (for which he won an Emmy), Smith’s career has also included six years with Hall & Oates at the height of their multi-platinum powers; NET (never ending tour) with Bob Dylan and Rogers Waters. Smith also was sideman to David Bowie, Mick Jagger, and Tina Turner; He was the band leader for everything from the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame Museum concert to Dylan’s 30th anniversary show at Madison Square Garden. Meanwhile, Bell was carving out a career as a hit songwriter for the likes of Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Teddy Pendergrass, and The Three Degrees, while also releasing records with duo Bell and James (including successful single “Livin’ It Up (Friday Night)”), and a string of solo albums. Today the leader of his own band, LeRoy Bell and His Only Friends, Bell earned legions of new fans as a finalist in the inaugural season of TV’s smash reality music competition The X Factor in 2011. “It really intrigued me to do something that’s a little bit different and to bring my talent with his talent,” said Bell of his coming together with Smith. “[To] try to make something new; make something happen. And I think we accomplished that.” Initially introduced by Smith’s wife, the duo discovered such instant chemistry that they began recording together almost immediately. Combining compositions from both artists, co-written tracks, and a couple of cover versions (the traditional ballad “Black Is the Color (of My True Love's Hair)” and Buffy Sainte-Marie’s “Cod’ine”), the resulting Stony Hill – also named for the street where Smith resides – is a robust ride through soulful, R&B-tinted blues rock characterized by emotive vocals, tastefully virtuosic play-for-the-song guitar, and a throughline emphasis on melody.

February 24, 2020 - GB Packer Hall of Fame Museum with Randy Brice and Chuck Lane

On today's episode of the Only in OK Show, we have a great interview with Lucas Ross, actor, director, comedian and he is in charge of education and promotion at the American Banjo Museum.   Our journey begins with the origin of  Bricktown in Oklahoma City.  Starting off as a commercial hub for the area via the train tracks, Bricktown soon played a role in the civil rights movement in Oklahoma and was home to OKC's first Black News Paper, the "Black Dispatch "   and the original OKC chapter of the NAACP.  The dust bowl, oil busts and economic stagnation ravaged the area for decades.  The transformation of Bricktown started in the 80's and soon ramped up with the introduction of the MAPS Project in the early 90's.  Today Bricktown is an internationally recognized travel destination and the is much more to come.   The American Banjo Museum is a world-class 21,000 square foot facility honoring the banjo.  The collection includes recordings, film, instructional materials, memorabilia and over 400 instruments.  In fact, this is the largest banjo collection in the world on display.  Originally located in Guthrie, Oklahoma, the museum was founded as a non-profit organization in 1998 under its previous name, The National Four-String Banjo Hall of Fame Museum. Lucas shares his love of all things Banjo, including meeting his idol, Steve Martin, and teaching Kermit the Frog to play the banjo.  With events almost daily, there is something for everyone!   Also discussed, Mike Morgan's tie, Lacey Lett with Freedom 43 TV, the OKC Metro Library, the Minco Honey Festival, Rose State Performing Arts Center, The Credit Cowboy, behind the scenes at KFOR TV, Kent Ogle's personal phone number, and the Winstar Casino.   Special thanks to our advertiser: Master Threads     #TravelOK #Oklahoma #Bricktown #OKC #Banjo  #podcast

When people think of "Burlesque", they usually think of scantily clad - or perhaps even topless - women, titillating & teasing crowds with their seductive dance moves.  But there's way more to it than that...as you're about to learn. My guest for this episode of the podcast is Dustin Wax of The Burlesque Hall of Fame Museum in Las Vegas - which, by the way, is the ONLY burlesque museum in the world.  Dustin and I chatted all about the history of the museum, their annual Miss Exotic World Pageant & Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend as well as the history, evolution and recent resurgence in the popularity of burlesque performances. If you want information about The Burlesque Hall of Fame Museum, be sure to check out their official website and also follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 

After years of playing upright bass for cult country act BR5-49, Jay McDowell stumbled into a dream job for any music geek: Multimedia Archivist for Nashville's Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, established in 2006. From the actual drumkit Santana's Michael Shrieve played at Woodstock to the original lathe used to cut Elvis Presley's first recording to hand-written lyrics from some of the greatest songwriters ever, the MHFM is a literal treasure trove of artifacts and memorabilia that speaks both to the brilliance of music's biggest stars as well as the ingenuity of those behind the scenes. To Jay's end, he wears many hats day-to-day, whether giving private tours to everyone from school kids to the musicians themselves who are being honored, on top of video production, archival research and assisting with the presentation of specific exhibits. On today's program, recorded at the Russell Hotel in Nashville, Jay speaks to his own history with vinyl, how historical context can morph a good song into a classic, why we continue to absorb and collect music even though it's impossible to hear everything, and he shares plenty of stories behind some of the MHFM's coolest acquisitions and inductions, involving Elvis Presley, Velma Smith, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan.

We “celebrate” the 2019 Miami Marlins’ National League-worst 57-105 season with a look back to colorful 1950s-era Triple-A minor league franchise that laid the groundwork for South Florida’s eventual ascension to the majors in 1993. Author and SABR historian Sam Zygner (The Forgotten Marlins: A Tribute to the 1956-1960 Original Miami Marlins and Baseball Under the Palms: The History of Miami Minor League Baseball) joins the podcast to discuss the flamboyant, but little-remembered International League club that introduced Miami to its first taste of high-level regular season baseball.  During their five years of existence, the original Marlins featured outsized personalities such as eccentric manager (and former St. Louis Cardinals’ “Gashouse Gang” member) Pepper Martin, hard-living lefty pitcher Mickey McDermott, maverick baseball promoter Bill Veeck, and even the mythically ageless Negro League hurler (and eventual Hall of Famer) Satchel Paige.    In between, the Marlins featured a who’s who of battle-hardened veterans (like 18-year minor league journeyman Woody Smith; ex-New York Giants World Series-winning pitcher Rubén “El Divino Loco” Gómez; two-time MLB All-Star slugger Sid Gordon; former Brooklyn Dodger outfielder Cal Abrams; and major league All-Star fireballer Virgil Trucks) – as well as a parade of future big-league standouts such as infielder Jerry Adair; outfielders Whitey Herzog and Dave Nicholson; and pitchers Rudy Árias, Don Cardwell, Turk Farrell, Jack Fisher and Dallas Green.   Enjoy a FREE MONTH of The Great Courses Plus streaming video service – including the just-released 24-chapter lecture series “Play Ball!

Few performers in the music industry today can claim the longevity and respect earned by Genya Ravan. Always a pioneer, Genya formed Goldie and the Gingerbreads in the early sixties, touring behind a string of European hits with the Stones, Kinks, Yardbirds and Hollies as the first All Female Rock and Roll band. Later she resurfaced back in the US as the powerful voice of Ten Wheel Drive, one of the original horn jazz-fusion bands. In the seventies she expanded her repertoire becoming the world s first independent female producer, with critically acclaimed records by Ronnie Spector and the Dead Boys, 'Young Loud and Snotty',During the same period Hilly Krystal summoned Genya to head up CBGB Records. In 2003 Genya received critical acclaim for her memoir, 'Lollipop Lounge' one of the great tales of Rock and Roll survival. She also hosts two monthly radio shows for Little Steven s Underground Garage on Sirius/XM; Chicks and Broads in which she covers the often forgotten music of female artists from the 40 s to the present, as well as Goldie s Garage in which she continues her long career of showcasing new and unsigned bands. In 2011 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum included Goldie and The Gingerbreads in their Women in Music exhibit which traveled across the Country. Today, Genya Ravan has come full circle with a brand new album.Icon . Mirroring her life, accomplishments, and the road she influenced and paved, Icon is filled with blood, sweat and tears, rock n roll, the glitter of glam, a punk rock attitude, garage rock spirit, raw energy, anthems, ballads, heart and soul.

"Whitey" Herzog is a former MLB manager. One of his managerial idols was Casey Stengel. He shares why in this episode. Herzog made his debut as a player in 1956 with the Washington Senators. After his playing career ended in 1963, Herzog went on to perform a variety of roles in Baseball, including scout, manager, general manager and farm system director. Most noted for his success as a manager, he led the Kansas City Royals to three consecutive playoff appearances from 1976 to 1978. Hired by Gussie Busch in 1980 to helm the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cardinals won the 1982 World Series over the Milwaukee Brewers and made two other World Series appearances in 1985 and 1987 under Herzog's direction. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on July 25, 2010, and was inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum on August 16, 2014.

We amp up the intellectual quotient this week with Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Paul Goldberger (Ballpark: Baseball in the American City), as we delve into the inextricably historical bond between the rise of America’s favorite pastime and the evolution of the American city. From the first “saloons in the open air” of the late-1800s, such as Brooklyn, NY’s Union Grounds; to the  ornate turn-of-the century wooden structures of Chicago’s Lakefront Park, Boston’s South End Grounds, and St. Louis’ Sportsman Park; to the early-1900s’ steel-and-stone “Golden Era” ballparks headlined by Philadelphia’s Shibe Park, Cincinnati’s Crossley Field, Detroit’s Tiger Stadium, Boston’s Fenway Park, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, and Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field; to the suburban, multi-purpose (and exceedingly TV-friendly) “concrete donuts” of the 1960s; to the retro “urban renaissance” ushered in by Baltimore’s Camden Yards in 1992 – Goldberger discusses how baseball's architectural maturation is undeniably concurrent with and reflective of America’s cultural, geographic and economic history. PLUS: The future of baseball’s ballparks, as well as how other sports’ arenas and stadiums are likely to evolve in similar and dissimilar ways.

Brooklyn College women’s soccer head coach and former NASL (Memphis Rogues, New England Tea Men) and ASL (New Jersey Americans) pro player Patrick Horne (Black Pioneers of the North American Soccer League) joins the podcast to help shine a light on the largely unrecognized contributions of black players to both the success of North America’s first major foray into pro soccer, and the growth of the sport’s popularity in the US and Canada in the decades since. While no one disputes the significance of the June 1975 signing of Brazilian superstar Pelé to the league’s flagship New York Cosmos as the watershed that legitimized soccer’s viability as a professional sport in North America (major world-class talent like Portuguese legend Eusebio and Brazilian star defender Carlos Alberto quickly followed), black players from various corners of the globe had already been plying their trade in the fledgling NASL years before – some as early as the competing 1967 leagues (NPSL and USA) that preceded it.  And many of them were unqualified standouts, despite the league’s early struggles. Exceptional black talent from places like: Bermuda (1972 MVP Randy Horton; Clyde Best); Trinidad & Tobago (MVPs Warren Archibald [1973] & Steve David [1975]); South Africa (1968 Rookie of the Year Kaizer Motaung; “Ace” Ntsoelengoe); Nigeria (Ade Coker); England (Mark Lindsay; and scores of others (including a number of notables from the US collegiate ranks) all helped to stabilize and strengthen the pro game during the 1970s and early 1980s until the NASL’s unceremonious collapse in 1984.  Even then, many stayed in their adopted homelands to eventually become coaches and administrators, helping to keep the spirit of the game alive while the US and Canada began its long rebuilding process to get back to top-tier pro soccer.

It’s been nearly two years since our first look at baseball’s still-revered Milwaukee Braves, and this week – courtesy of author/historian Patrick Steele (Home of the Braves: The Battle for Baseball in Milwaukee) – we finally get the chance to go deeper into the team that, in its brief 13-season run: never posted a losing season, won two National League pennants, and, in 1957, brought “Cream City” its first and only World Series championship.  Featuring a stellar lineup of mostly Braves farm club-developed players (including eventual Hall of Famers Henry [Hank] Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews, Red Schoendienst, and Phil Niekro) the team immediately won the hearts of Wisconsin sports fans upon its hasty arrival from Boston in the midst of the 1953 pre-season – shattering then-modern-day attendance records, and ushering the city of Milwaukee into the world of America’s proverbial “big leagues.” The Braves' surprising success in Milwaukee during the mid-1950’s prompted Major League Baseball to redefine itself as a big business, clearing the path for: franchises to relocate beyond the sport’s Northeast and Midwest strongholds; its two leagues to expand; and teams to leverage cities in high-stakes battles for local government-subsidized facilities.   All of which, ironically, helped sowed the seeds for the club’s eventual relocation to Atlanta in 1966 – an acrimonious departure that generations of Milwaukee baseball fans still haven’t forgotten.   PLUS: “There’s No Joy Left” – polka music king Frankie Yankovic’s song of “good riddance”!

As the 2019 version of the Portland Timbers celebrates its 10th season in Major League Soccer, we spin the WABAC Machine dial back 44 years earlier to 1975 – when the club’s original namesake became an overnight sensation (figuratively and literally) in the then-20-team North American Soccer League.  The last of the NASL’s five newly announced sides for that season (along with Chicago, San Antonio, Tampa Bay, and Hartford), the “Timbers” weren’t even named (via an open “name the team” contest) until March of 1975 – just two months after having been awarded the franchise, and barely a month before its first scheduled pre-season match. Despite the haste, the Timbers immediately became the toast of both the Rose City and the league during the summer of 1975, as the club compiled the NASL’s best regular season record, earned a trip to the league championship “Soccer Bowl” (losing to the Rowdies 2-0), and regularly drawing 20,000+ crowds to Portland’s venerable Civic Stadium – earning the self-appointed moniker “Soccer City, USA” in the process. Current MLS Timbers fan and de facto club historian Michael Orr (The 1975 Portland Timbers: The Birth of Soccer City) joins host Tim Hanlon this week to delve deep into the magical first year of Portland’s top-tier pro soccer franchise – including the personalities that made it work, the fans that made it special, and the traditions that still continue today in the team’s since-named (and newly renovated) Providence Park. PLUS: “Green is the Color” – the long-lost Peter Yeates/Eric Beck/Ron Brady-penned 1975 Timbers theme song!

We veer back this week into the still-unfolding mess that is (or was) the Alliance of American Football with ESPN.com “NFL Nation” reporter Michael Rothstein – who, along with ESPN Senior Writer Seth Wickersham – has been chronicling the demise of the once-promising league (Inside the Short, Unhappy Life of the Alliance of American Football), dating back to its curious pre-season earlier this winter. With Carolina Hurricanes owner and last-minute financial savior Tom Dundon recently suing the now-bankrupt league for the return of his complete $70 million investment, the story of the Alliance is getting uglier by the week – with little end to the drama in sight.  Despite helping nearly 60 of its players (and counting) sign NFL contracts, the AAF is increasingly likely to be remembered for its shaky finances and off-field managerial intrigue than for its surprisingly high quality of on-field play. Rothstein recounts some of the more interesting stories and tidbits gleaned from his months of covering the formative weeks, initial games and now, chaotic dissolution, of a league that seemingly had everything going for it – until it suddenly (and with hindsight) didn’t – including: Covering the AAF pre-season – despite being denied access to actual practices; The mysterious coaching “debut” of Michael Vick; The deceptive triumph of the Orlando Apollos’ home (and league co-) opener – replete with pre-game tailgating; Initial suspicions the league wasn’t off to as solid a start as early appearances suggested; AND An initial assessment of the villains and victims of the Alliance’s ongoing quietus.

BeCause Radio learns about the history and artifacts at the Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame Museum on this week's Road Trip.

If you love the rock 'n roll, and who doesn't... Mitch Miller! (That story here.) Steve Resnik, creator, curator, and owner of the West Coast Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame Museum, and human encyclopedia of rock 'n roll, takes us through his growing up in Chicago in the 50s and 60s, coming alive as kid with the birth of said, rock 'n roll, walking us through the early days to the glory days. First as a passionate, obsessed listener and appreciator, to college radio program director, interviewer, where Stevie Wonder, Jim Morrison, and Led Zeppelin are a very few of his successes, and one of his perceived failures. Steve lived Cameron Crowe's life in Almost Famous, only more gloriously. The Whiskey and The Troubadour were his home. He saw, met and partied with everybody, and I mean everybody who was anybody. Hendrix, Joplin, Wonder, oh my. One of the great record promoters hisself, he worked alongside the greatest in his eyes... stories of Clive Davis, Berry Gordy, Diana Ross, John Lennon, and the beforementioned Jim Morrison and Stevie Wonder... those two tales... WOW! We'd planned to be downstairs in the 45 room, where Steve has every single which charted from the day 45s were created in '55 thru to their extinction. Unfortunately, the vinyl is downstairs in the basement to keep them cool, and sadly the WiFi was too erratic to trust. So we'll do a raincheck with our Stump Steve, where he can locate any 45 within 20 seconds and play it. I'll have to get one of those portable hotspots for the fun. Prior to the interview, thanks so much Rob Barnett for inviting me to his party at Steve's a few months ago, Steve quizzed me on my credits. Greatest victory for me, I was able to answer Steve's sudden rapid fire Live questions and was given a nod of approval from one who knows the score. My father would be so proud. Wildly, Pete's uncle, Don George, was an A&M rep out of Cleveland when Steve was the VP and attended a party in the very room where we did this conversation. Love the small world stuff. This was rock 'n roll edutainment to the gazillionith degree. We was schooled! Loved every second. Steve Resnik on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, 6/26/19, 7 pm PT/ 10 pm ET With Pete George Live on The Facebook Full show replay here http://bit.ly/2NsexGy All BROADcasts, as podcasts, also available on iTunes apple.co/2dj8ld3 Soundcloud http://bit.ly/2hktWoS Stitcher bit.ly/2h3R1fl tunein bit.ly/2gGeItj This week's BROADcast is brought to you by Rick Smolke of Quik Impressions, the best printers, printing, the best people people-ing. quikimpressions.com And, Nicole Venables of Ruby Begonia Hair Studio Beauty and Products for tresses like the stars she coifs, and regular peoples, like me.

Author and former SPORT magazine writer David Levine (Life on the Rim: A Year in the Continental Basketball Association) joins the ‘cast to give us our first taste of the quirky minor league basketball circuit that began as a Pennsylvania-based regional outfit in 1946 (predating the NBA’s formation by two months), and meandered through a myriad of death-defying iterations until whimpering into oblivion in 2009. Often billed throughout its curious history as the "World's Oldest Professional Basketball League," the colorful Continental Basketball Association rocketed into the national sports consciousness during the 1980s –  when expansion into non-traditional locales (e.g., Anchorage, AK; Casper, WY; Great Falls, MT; Atlantic City, NJ); innovative rule changes (e.g., sudden-death overtime, no foul-outs, a seven-point game scoring system); and headline-grabbing fan promotions (e.g., “1 Million Dollar Supershot," "Ton-of-Money Free Throw," "CBA Sportscaster Contest") – garnered its first national TV coverage, and even grudging respect from the staid, top-tier NBA. Levine recounts his time chronicling the 1988-89 season of the CBA’s Albany (NY) Patroons, and the real-world stories of the realities of playing, coaching (including a young and hungry George Karl), traveling, and endlessly hoping in a league that sometimes rewarded its members with opportunities at the next level of pro basketball – but more often, did not.

A bobblehead, also known as a nodder, wobbler or bobble head, is a type of collectable doll. Its head is often oversized compared to its body. Instead of a solid connection, its head is connected to the body by a spring or hook in such a way that a light tap will cause the head to bobble, hence the name. Today we bobble over to the world’s only Bobblehead Hall of Fame & Museum. Featuring the largest bobblehead collection, exhibits, store, event space & more, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is fun for everyone! Not just for sports fans, the Museum also features movie, TV, pop-culture, vintage and thousands of other unique bobbleheads. Our guests are Phil Skylar who is the owner of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and Crawly who is the Club 400 Bobblehead expert.

Guest Patty Wente, CEO & President of the International Photography Hall of Fame & Museum, discusses current and upcoming exhibitions, noteworthy members of the Hall of Fame, and the annual induction ceremony as well as classes and other offerings.

Being the grandson of the progenitor of 20th Century Country doesn't give you a free pass to the music hall of fame–unless we're talking about the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum in Nashville, it probably gets you a couple of free tickets there–but one thing it apparently give you is an incredible genetic tendency toward extreme musical talent. We were a little divided on how well we think that talent comes across on Straight To Hell, but with a tip of the hat to his Grandfather's legacy, "Three" packages up a little something for all of us.

Confession:  I am not a gamer. I mean, I’ve played games in arcades.  I’ve played pinball machines in the local Four Thieves bar when I was growing up (don’t worry, it was small town Nebraska and the family-friendly bar was also the only place in town that served food).  We even had an Atari when I was a kid (Space Invaders Rock!), but that pretty much was the peak of my gaming experience.  I flirted with various handheld games over the years – and definitely spent too much time playing Tetris.  However, my recent gaming experiences have been with my nephew at the holidays where he basically challenges me to play video games just so he can see how badly he can beat me.  I’m definitely a casual gamer, but even I was hooked on the excitement of the lights and sounds of The Pinball Hall of Fame Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Sitting down with Tim Arnold, founder of the museum, allows us to peek behind-the-scenes and experience what it takes to keep this type of museum open.   This museum is unique for a couple of reasons:  It features pinball machines from every decade starting in 1933 when pinball machines were a small, countertop game played with marbles to the modern pinball machines known today. You can actually play every single machine in the museum. Set up like an arcade, the 250+ machines on display have been fully restored and you can play every single one of them for either a quarter or fifty cents.  Tim rescues pinball machines and always restores them with the “designer’s intent” in mind.  As Tim puts it, “We've got a strict set of rules here about designer’s intent and also the flavor of the game when we're rebuilding a game. I could make all the old games just as powerful as the new games and make it really thrilling and make the ball go fast, but we don't do that because that was not the designer's intent and it's not the original flavor of the game.”  That craftsmanship and attention to the spirit of the games really highlights the authenticity of every machine in the museum.  Museum Highlights: 1933 Jigsaw Pinball Game – the “original” pinball game was a countertop game found in bars.   The main board would have metal pins and balls (hence the name “pinball”).  The goal is to shoot the balls into the pockets.  You add up your score and either win definitely adult prizes like a free beer, cigar or money. This game is how the entire pinball industry started.  Who would have thought that this simple game in 1933 would grow into the $80 million industry it is today?  Bowling Game  – this game used to be in every bar in America.  According to Tim, instead of going home after work and watching your big screen TV, you would go to the bar and play your friends on a bowling machine. Joker Ball  – the game that every video poker machine in the world is based on.  The original “random number generator” is the rubber balls, which bounce around and determine which cards you get.  They made 200 of these machines in 1959 – only two are still known to exist.  An incredibly rare machine that you can still play at the museum.  5th Inning Baseball Game  – similar in design to a traditional bowling game, this game is housed in a solid oak cabinet and features baseball instead of bowling.  Listen to the episode to find out about “the one that got away” and how a collector’s ex-wife strong-armed Tim into buying this game.    SEGA Basketball Game  – one of the very first games produced by the Japanese video game manufacturer was an arcade basketball game wth an actual court and a rubber ball.  Whoever punches their number in first makes the ball go in that direction.  “Wedge-Head” Pinball Machine Design – a sub-genre of pinball machine design are “wedge-head” machines versus the standard, square head.  The head is shaped like a wedge – wider at the top and tapering down towards the bottom – so you can put them in a row and still have room to touch the sides without getting too close.  2-Player Games versus Single-Player Games – 2-player games require the game to re-set every time the players change, so you have basically a one-ball game that you’re playing three or five times.  On single-player games, you have five balls to get through an amazing series of quests to get to the prize at the end.  Single-player games are more sought after by collectors than 2-player games.  Back Glass Artistic Styles – the back glass art of a pinball machine are truly works of art by themselves, and can also provide valuable clues about the machine itself.  First, you can pretty much date a game based on the clothing and hair styles of the artwork.  1970s machines show people with long shaggy hair. During the 1960s, the women all had miniskirts. In the ‘50s, the men wore hats and the women’s dresses were below their knees. And any game from the 1980s pretty much has aliens on it as influenced by the Star Wars Second, the images on the back glass are created by multiple layers of ink silkscreened on the glass – up to 12 different colors in many cases.  In addition, the ink had to be transparent enough for the light to shine through the design, so that usually means the ink isn’t that durable and can easily be damaged.  If you look closely, on some machines you can see the design starting to flake off.   Third, the artwork can tell you the type of location where the machine would have been installed.  Games destined for bars and pool halls with adults as the audience would be more “suggestive” (i.e., scantily-clad women).  While games destined for the roller rink or family-friendly arcades would have happy clowns.  Jumbo Flipper – as manufacturers tried to differentiate their games, there were experimental ideas about machine design.  One of them was the Jumbo Flipper, which was a game with 6 inch flippers that are much longer than the normal 3 inch flippers.  The longer flippers were only used on this one game because, as Tim states, “it’s a horrible game to play,” but it’s in the museum because it’s a part of pinball history and people want to see it.   Modern Game Design – one section of the museum is dedicated to modern pinball machines.  You can definitely tell the difference between the modern games and the older games.  Modern games have more flashing lights, ramps and two or three levels of play.  Also, definitely more movie-themed games.    Lady Robin Hood Game – manufactured by Gottlieb, this is the very first game that had flippers, which revolutionized how pinball was played.  It was 1948 and pinball factories had stopped making games during the war and were producing parts for the military.  After the war, Gottlieb made three or four of the same games they were making before the war, but they were not that exciting for the market. So then one day they decided to put some bats or flippers in the game and give the player some control. That was the start of flipper pinball.    Check out the full show notes on the website for a picture of this machine.  Look closely at the flippers in the Robin Hood game.  In the very first game with flippers, there was a total of six bats/flippers -- three up each side -- to propel the ball back up to the top of the game.  It didn't occur to Gottlieb until two years later to turn them around and put the flippers at the bottom. Goalee Game – manufactured by Chicago Coin, the company decided to go all out on this game.  With a solid oak cabinet, ornate hand controls, and a spectator mirror, this one game cost as much as a car when it was produced in 1945.    Crane Game (1950s) – along with pinball machines, arcades would have other games.  The crane in this “bean digger” game is actually on off-the-shelf toy.  Your job is to pick up the beans, put them in the hopper, and try to get a higher score.  Listen to the episode and hear how Tim responds to toy collectors wanting to buy just the crane in this machine.    Crane Game – along with pinball machines, arcades would have other games.  The crane in this “bean digger” game is actually on off-the-shelf toy.  Your job is to pick up the beans, put them in the hopper, and try to get a higher score.  Listen to the episode and hear how Tim responds to toy collectors wanting the buy just the crane in this machine.   Helicopter Game (1968) – another game found in arcades, this Helicopter game is a perfect example of how Tim has to find workarounds in order to restore games to playable condition.  To find a motor that would work to propel the helicopter, Tim had to buy a slot car motor and re-engineer the back of the helicopter to make the motor fit.         Star Trek Game – here was my “nostalgia lock-up” moment.  Huge Star Trek fan -- I totally remember this game where you could sit in the cockpit like you are Captain Kirk and play the game.  I even remember the game buttons on the side of the chair.  Yes, it’s true, I was so cool as a kid.      Game History Cards – initially when you walk into the museum, it feels like you’re walking into a really large arcade.  However, look closer.  On each machine you’ll find a handwritten history card including details like the name of the designer, the name of the artist, year of the game, manufacturer, the factory number of the machine, what makes this machine unique -- just fantastic details and little tidbits of history about each machine.  If nothing else, visit the museum just to read the surprising and personal details Tim includes on every card.  Shooting Game – this 2-player gun game caused quite a stir with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms when it was introduced.  Want the full story?  Then listen to the episode to find out what the controversy was all about.    Bring a bag of quarters and get ready to play because you can spend hours at the Pinball Hall of Fame Museum playing machines that are so unique because you can literally play your way through the history of an entire industry.  Trust me, even if you weren’t a huge pinball player, I guarantee there will be some machine in this place that will make you do the “nostalgia lock-up” just like I did and bring up a long-forgotten memory of fun.  So the next time you’re in Las Vegas, skip the strip and head on over to the Pinball Hall of Fame Museum and support this incredible museum tilting at windmills one quarter at a time. If you love to document your travels to off-the-beaten-path places, then show me where you're heading or where you've been by sharing your stories with me at the Made in Museums website or on Facebook,  Twitter, and Instagram.  If you want to let me know about a curious museum that you’ve visited, and that I should cover on this show, contact me through social media or just send me an email.

In this episode, Debbi Wilkes chats with Mike Slipchuk, 1992 Olympian & Canadian Champion, Skate Canada's High Performance Director and Alberta Sports Hall of Fame & Museum member. Edmonton native Michael Slipchuk has been involved in the development of skating champions for the past 20 years. He brought his considerable experience as a competitor and coach to the role of High Performance Director when he joined Skate Canada in 2007. One of Slipchuk’s first priorities was to create a strong support network for Canadian skaters.  He has assembled a team of physical therapists, sport psychologists, nutritional specialists, and strength and conditioning experts to provide their individual expertise to the elite level skaters.  He has also re-ignited the strong Canadian team concept when groups of skaters assemble to represent the country at international events. Since he began in this position, Canadian athletes have won 25 world medals and nine Olympic medals, including 10 world titles and three Olympic gold medals. Slipchuk was Canadian men’s senior champion in 1992 and represented Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympic Games, where he placed ninth.  He retired from competitive skating after the 1992 Olympics to focus on coaching young skaters. Certified as an NCCP (National Coaching Certificate Program) Level Four coach he trained skaters who competed at national and international levels while also leading coaching seminars across the country. He was named head coach at the Glencoe Club in Calgary, Alberta in 1995, a position he held until he joined Skate Canada. An early proponent of figure skating’s revamped judging system, in 2004 Slipchuk began serving at Grand Prix events as an ISU (International Skating Union) Technical Specialist. In 2006 he was assigned to the first Olympic Winter Games where the system was used in Torino, Italy. That same year he was also on the technical panel for the women’s event at the ISU World Championships in Calgary.  His final event as a Technical Specialist before joining Skate Canada was the 2007 ISU Junior World Championships (Men’s) in Oberstdorf, Germany. The City of Edmonton honoured Slipchuk with the Salute to Excellence (1983), Award of Excellence (1992).  He was inducted into the city’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2012, he was recognized by the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame, inducted as both an athlete and a builder.

Should we end Electoral College, go to popular vote? Donald Trump won the presidency after narrowly carrying a few states to put him above 270 electoral votes. But according to the latest numbers, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. The game is rigged. In other words, we have a similar situation as in 2000 - where the candidate who won more voters picked did not become president. It is unfair, undemocratic & we must eliminate the Electoral College.

In Episode 10, we are joined by artist, writer, and director, Michael Lee Nirenberg. With a massive archive of stunning visual art as well as a number of brilliant short films over the past decade and a half, he is perhaps best known for his much-acclaimed 2014 documentary, BACK ISSUES: THE HUSTLER MAGAZINE STORY. https://www.amazon.com/Back-Issues-Hu... Never one to champion the mainstream, Nirenberg's current Huffington Post column serves as a constant dialogue of ideas with those who have pushed societal, musical, technological, literary, and artistic boundaries, often from the farthest edges of society, yet remain culturally relevant and significant.

After touring the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum, and running into an old sailing coach, I was escorted into the office of Dr. Jason Hanley, Director of Education at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame Induction ceremony isn’t just a special time for those honored. It’s a focal point of the baseball calendar – when the sport has its eyes on Cooperstown and when many fans of the game make the trek to the tiny village in upstate New York.
