Simon Lee, Die Hard Props, special guest. This is the sixth ‘Prop Talk’ podcast by the Original Prop Blog. This is an effort to use old and new technology to bring a richer and more informative and entertaining experience to the site.  Simon is both a good personal friend from my beginnings in the hobby and a very resourceful collector who early on focused on his favorite film, Die Hard, and over the years has been able to fulfill his dream of finding key original props and wardrobe from the franchise. 

This article hosts the next in a regular ongoing series of full-length audio podcasts featuring one on one interviews with interesting people who participate in and/or affect the hobby of collecting and preserving original movie props, costumes, and other assets. The sixth guest of this program is Simon Lee of DieHardProps.com.
