Stamps Aren't Cool
Your Hosts
Gerard ('Punk Philatelist')
A TV writer by day, comedian by night, and stamp collector 24/7, Gerard started the philatelic blog Punk Philatelist in 2015 after having rediscovered his childhood hobby in his 20s. A humorous, irreverent and opinionated look at the world of stamp collecting, 'Punk' has become a mainstay of a new generation of collectors who are embracing social media and blowing the cobwebs off this dusty old pastime. He thinks it unfair that stamp collecting missed out on the geek-cool revival of the 21st century, and he's running hard to catch that bus.
Celeste ('Mrs Punk')
Usually more comfortable lurking in the shadows of a TV studio, Celeste loves comedy, TV, and her drum kit, and she’s a green thumb with indoor plants. So it’s a shame that she’s ended up on a stamp collecting podcast. While not a collector herself, her years of being exposed to close-range stamp nerdery means she has perfected the art of looking like she’s still listening. Celeste’s natural talent for mocking her husband makes her the perfect co-host for this podcast.
