We invite you to listen to "Two Space Collectors Collecting Space" and explore the exciting and rewarding hobby of collecting historic space memorabilia with your hosts, long-time friends and space artifact collectors Rich Jurek and Jason Rubin.

We aim to be the leading podcast focused on collecting space memorabilia. Each episode will focus on highlighting collectors of this material, tips and techniques on researching, acquiring and curating a collection, discussing hobby nostalgia, our space and space collecting heroes, and current hobby comings and goings.

The podcast seeks to engage fellow space enthusiasts and collectors who would get excitement from regularly discussing the hobby with Jason, Rich and other regular expert guests from across the space collecting field.

We are not polished broadcasters or pushing any agenda: we are simply Two Space Collectors, Collecting Space, who love to talk about this wonderful hobby.

We are excited to learn from each other, and you! So, please consider joining us in this adventure. Want to contact us? Email us.

Episode 1 has just been posted to Podbean. All other podcast services shortly.

Thanks all, for your support! We hope you consider join us.

Congratulations on the podcast launch!

I listened to the first episode last night and found it to be engaging, humorous and informative. The two of you have a great rapport and so your on-air conversation feels both welcoming and natural.

I look forward to tuning in for more!

Thanks for the great podcast, Rich and Jason.

The Starmus VII science festival is taking place in Bratislava, Slovakia. Today I met and talked to Charlie Duke. What an experience. More scientists and astronauts will have space related talks this week. That said, hope I was not the only one listening from Slovakia.

Thank you so much for the kind words and, yes, for being our main listener in Slovakia!

Having some Slovakian heritage in my family (stretching back to a small village called Janovce in the Poprad district), I was THRILLED to see we had a listener there. And even more thrilled to know it was you. Thanks for listening!

Great podcast Rich and Jason - I’ve enjoyed both so far and really looking forward to more.

Not a perfect substitute for the primo days of in-person story-swapping at the bar after a space show, but with your familiar voices at the helm (and Steve/David as your first guests) it brought back some nice vibes.

Thanks for doing this and please keep it up!

Great podcasts you two, very professionally done. I enjoyed both of them, and for those of you who have yet to listen, you're missing wonderful insights in collecting, authenticating, as well as a bargain discount from Steve Zarelli in the first session (soon to end).

The 2nd session with David Meerman Scott also intriguing with a discussion on the "collecting bug" and turning one's collection into a museum.

Kudos to Jason and Rich! Keep up the good work! — Art S

We appreciate all of those who have taken the time to listen.

Thank you Rich and Jason for having me on as a guest! As much as I dislike listening to myself, I enjoyed the episode as a testament to the great time I had chatting with you both.

Thanks for including me and I look forward to hearing who you are interviewing next!

There is a saying here in the UK that I don't think travels well: "There's no show without Punch." Safe to say, there can be no discussion about collecting space without Robert Pearlman.

Job done.

Thanks guys: Steve in particular for the latest podcast. Excellent as always.

I'm off to locate the hardware store closest to Johnson Space Center. I'm going to need a new spade!

For what it's worth guys, ILC and Grumman have both disposed of choice Apollo hardware and supporting documentation in landfill: were going to need a lot of new spades.

Our pleasure, Steve! Thanks for spending time with us. It was loads of fun.

And fellow cSers, if you haven't spent time on Steve's Flicker account — do so. It’s a wonderful tour through his collection... including a video tour.

Another great podcast, and guest.

I have heard the 'burial trench' story from a friend who had close ties with Chuck Biggs and others of the time. It's haunted me for almost a decade and I loved Steve's idea of a SAR or LIDAR scan. I'll email you three with some hazy but potentially interesting clues and won't spoil further - go listen to the episode!
