About this podcast
Rich Jurek and Jason Rubin have been friends and collectors of historic space artifacts for well over two decades. 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. This 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 and subscribe today.
