It's the first-ever episode of the brand new stamp collecting podcast, Stamps Aren't Cool! Hey, come back! The social media generation is blowing the cobwebs off the dusty old hobby of philately, and discovering what it has to offer in the 21st century. Stamps Aren't Cool explores this world, while trying to avoid getting too nerdy. Your hosts are Gerard - a comedian who writes the stamp-collecting blog, Punk Philatelist - and Celeste, a non-collector who will ask questions on behalf of normal people, and also tell Gerard if he's waffling on too much. Philatelic news, collecting advice, dumb jokes and more. In their first episode, Gerard and Celeste introduce themselves and contemplate how it came to this. And Celeste reveals the lengths to which she's prepared to go in order to prove that no one's watching.

Every episode also gets covered at the Punk Philatelist website, which would normally include pictures of stamps and any other stuff we might talk about. Not so much with this episode, though, because Episode 1 is always just the housekeeping.
