The most interesting info from the greatest stamp enthusiast

Russ is a knowledgeable stamp / postal expert who takes the time to share fun and interesting information with his audience. I learn so much in each crunchable show. His passion for mail, art, history and other people’s interests really shines through and that’s what truly keeps me coming back for more.

You don’t want to miss out on this amazing program!

Engaging and educational

This podcast is an excellent companion to Russ Romano’s IGTV show by the same name. His and his guests’ enthusiasm is contagious. Learn a lot about stamps, stamp collecting and use, and stamp history — but also related topics such as mail art, chain cards, postcards and more.
