At least on my part I talked about how the internet and ebay have made meteorites more available and more affordable to everyone. Now for the price of a fast food dinner for two... you could instead buy a piece of the moon or mars. This was NOT the case a few years ago. Not sure how much of my interview made it on the air, but the reporter and I recorded for 35 minutes! The show must have had some exposure, because I have had 2 thousands more hits than usual in my ebay store!

The text of the program can be found at: http://marketplace.publicradio.org/shows/2006/09/13/PM200609135.html There is also an audio link entitled "Listen to This Story." The program featured interviews with Michael Cottingham, Randy Korotev of Washinton University (St. Louis), Dave Radosevich, and Robert Pearlman of CollectSpace.com. The interviewer actually used the classic Carl Sagan phrase "billions and billions," but in the financial context that the "meteorite trade is worth billions and billions of dollars." The program "Marketplace" is public radio's stock market, corporate news, and big business news segment. Worth a listen, meteorite fans, if for no other reason than to hear meteorites make the financial news. Sterling K.
