TalkCast 381 – The HSPPA

James Azrael

This episode is all about how a hobby becomes an obsession and morphs into, of all things, a museum. Our guest for this episode is James Azrael of The HSPPA (Horror & Science Fiction Prop Preservation Association). Musician/producer/actor James leads the HSPPA as Head Curator at all events and is accompanied by an incredible team of Event Curators to discuss everything on exhibit, answer questions and educate fans with histories, stories, behind the scenes facts.

The HSPPA started out with James’ personal collection, spanning over 30-years and has grown into a traveling extravaganza, based primarily in the Midwest, for now.

James talks about the current incarnation of the HSPPA and his hopes and dreams for its immediate and long-term future. We also got to talk about the two books currently available from the HSPPA:

• The Props Awaken
• And
• Planet of the Props

If you get a chance to see their show at a convention or event, do so; it’s well worth it.

Enjoy the chaos
