Together we will clean up our orbital junkyard!

Mike talks through a new idea to wear a space suit every episode, breaks down adding listeners in 2 new countries, tries to speak Spanish, Top 10 Celebs in South Africa, and heads to Idea Station with plans to track down the only person ever hit by space junk. He also talks comedy updates from Battle of the Ages and a chaotic open mic, plus some life tidbits that spiral into getting hit with a Four Loko in Seattle and paranoia about smart TVs. Finally, Mike previews a Europe trip and upcoming shows while continuing the mission to collect one piece of space trash.

Mike told jokes at Zanies Nashville for a few comedy shows (Nateland, New Material Monday and Dusty Slay’s Grand Ole Comedy Show) and found a 24/7 McDonald’s that was closed. Then Mike took a Greyhound bus where there was almost a fight, a couple argued for 30 minutes, and a guy watched videos out loud the entire ride.

Mike talks first airport lounge experience, what it’s like getting followed by the WNBA commissioner, and doing his first cold plunge. The podcast is experiencing growth, and Mike is making Project Hail Mary his whole personality. Finally, we talk about Sandy Utah, and the KFC situation. Shows in Kansas coming up.

2026 is officially the Year of Space Trash. In this episode of Mike Heath’s Orbital Garbage Project, I break down what worked, what absolutely didn’t, and how this project evolves from a podcast into a full-blown mission. We dig into listener data (Bad Bunny fans?? Virginia??), talk Gen Z, guerrilla marketing, comedy, global expansion, interviews, posters, books, and theme songs.This is not a podcast. This is a project. OUR PROJECT.

Stranger Things 5 is here with more monsters —but honestly, nothing is scarier than the 2 million pieces of space trash orbiting Earth. In this episode of Mike Heath’s Orbital Garbage Project, we explore why Vecna is like space, the Kevin James/Matt Taylor conspiracy sweeping TikTok, mission updates after missing Macy’s Parade, a Valentine’s bowling-for-space-trash plan, book launch chaos, new stand-up clips, hecklers, holiday shows, and why moms deserve a medal.

Mike is channeling a little Elphaba energy to defy gravity, defy the algorithm, and stay committed to the mission of snagging one piece of space trash. With five days left before the Macy’s Parade and GMA long-shot miracle, we talk growing listeners in unexpected places, failed ferries, questionable space news, Uber-tipping ethics, and the small wins and setbacks that keep this whole absurd quest flying (or at least broom-hovering) forward.

Together, we will clean up our orbital junkyard.
