Every rockhound in the USA
loves them and why wouldn't
we? The have the life we all
dream about! For those few
people that have never seen the show Meteorite Men on the Discovery Science Channel you are truly missing out!
Who are they? After appearing in numerous one-off meteorite hunting television shows for PBS, Discovery Channel, the History Channel, the Travel Channel and others, long time friends and expedition partners Geoff Notkin, science writer and owner of Aerolite Meteorites, and world famous meteorite hunter Steve Arnold were eager to take their unique blend of adventure, science, and humor to a wider audience.
During the winter of 2007 Steve and Geoff were contacted by Ruth Rivin, executive producer at prominent production company LMNO, in Los Angeles, California to ask if they would be interested in pursuing a television series idea.
After a few months of talks, producer Elizabeth
Meeker flew to Tucson for a one-day desert
shoot with Steve and Geoff in February, 2008.
The resulting demo reel landed the Meteorite
Men and LMNO owner Eric Schotz an invitation to
fly to Washington, D.C. and meet with senior
executives at some of the world's top cable
networks. Steve and Geoff turned up in the lobby
of the Discovery building in full field gear, and
carrying a backpack containing ten thousand
dollars' worth of meteorites. It was quite the
show-and-tell.
Now at the end of season two we are all looking
forward to season three. Make sure as a fan you
