Mike Heath’s Orbital Garbage Project

This is a very special episode included 250 Reasons Why America Rules for the 250th Birthday of America. No why America is better or superior, just cool. It's spreading positivity into the ether. Why? Because that is good and we must remain positive in our mission to collect a piece of space trash. The list is in no particular order. Let me know which ones I missed. Join the Space Trash Force....

This is a tribute to the one and only Oliver Tree. It’s Good to Be Silly. We talk about how I found out the news, my questionable tribute haircut, and begin what may become the greatest recurring segment in podcast history—the Bob Ross Chia Pet Cam. Then it's off to New York City where we talk comedy, strange encounters, Fear City Comedy Club, and a comic with the tallest mohawk I've ever seen. So...

Mike is gearing up for the Portugal Plan, launching Rat Tail Summer, and trying to determine whether orbital data centers are the future of humanity or just future space trash. This episode is full of Reno hotel disasters, an ethical question about Mother’s Day, guerrilla marketing experiments, and upcoming comedy shows in Oregon, Seattle, and beyond. The mission continues: collect one piece of sp...

Welcome to the Summer of the Rattail! In this ep, Mike welcomes a new listener from South Korea (with some genuinely wild fun facts), and workshops a Portuguese version of the Orbital Garbage Project poster using a new “everyman” character.

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.

Mike went to Kansas City and Topeka to tell jokes at the Beacon Theatre and Clint’s Comedy Club. He talks about performing for an older crowd, a heckler moment, and exciting new developments!

The podcast is growing internati...

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...

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 po...

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 sta...

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...

Mike gets nearly kicked out of an airport while planning to crash a troll festival dressed as space trash — all for the mission. DESCRIPTION: LIVE Kansas City airport—dodging janitors, cops, and moral dilemmas—to bring the Space Trash Force the latest mission updates. This week, he introduces the Piggybacking Initiative , a bold new plan to grow the movement by latching onto existing public events...

Only 67 days until Good Morning America and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — and the Space Trash Force just expanded to TEXAS! This week, Mike welcomes Augustus Allen of Belverde, TX , the very first Lone Star listener. They talk small-town pride, stop signs, Canyon Lake boats, and why Bel Verde is the “Front Porch of Texas.” PLUS: A sponsorship attempt with a local pizza bar 🍕 Listener react...

We finally landed Brad Pitt… kind of. In this week’s episode of Mike Heath’s Orbital Garbage Project , I sit down with “Bradley Pitt” to talk about space trash, dropping out of Mizzou with 2 credits left, and whether Meet Joe Black deserves to be launched into orbit forever. There’s also a lasagna-eating dog, a debate over buying space suits on Etsy, and a bold new plan: introducing our official m...

What does butter have to do with collecting a piece of space trash? Everything. In this buttery edition of Mike Heath’s Orbital Garbage Project , we churn through 9,000 years of dairy history — from accidental Mesopotamian butter-making, to Napoleon III’s desperate search for a cheaper alternative, to the birth of margarine and the iconic “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!” ad campaigns. Along the...

These are the chronicles of one man’s journey hitchhiking from LA to Seattle over the course of 40 days, 40 nights. Our tale that starts a life coach’s conference to being homeless in LA to back on his grandma’s couch. This will one day likely be a full length feature film on the silver screen or at least a book. You get to hear this from the horse's mouth (the horse is Rob Conroy) before anyone e...

What if the future of space cleanup started with a flyer and a stapler? In this episode, Mike launches a guerrilla marketing campaign to kickstart the cosmic cleanup — no rockets, just raw ambition and a stapler. We’re talking lamp posts, laundromats, and a dream to plaster all 50 states with the message. Plus: a new sponsor (Sneeze Eyes?), space bowling ambitions, and a race where every piece of...

Our foes are many. They seek to thwart our project of collecting a piece of space trash. While they may be winning the battle this week, they will not win the war. We find ourselves in the Great Dip of Discouragement but the road toward orbital garbage cleanup lies ahead of us. That road is headed toward our first major milestone this Thanksgiving Week. Plan C is finalized. We discuss that here. A...
