Get up, it's 2025 and we're plungin in. You're not in the Birdcast anymore, the news is too bleak, it's too freaky out there so we decided to portal to Pinball City and totally took you with us, sorry. I'm goin all in on my love and allegiance to the silver ball with an entire month of pinball madness, hijacking your usual programming with my favorite thing you humans have ever done. And also there's darts. This week, your first resident of Pinball City is the great Jon Chad  author/illustrator of one of my favorite books ever written by your species Pinball: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball.
