It’s time for the fifth annual Uncollecting episode. This time around, I take a look at an episode of the A&E show Hoarders that features a couple named Claire and Vance, whose enormous book collection has taken over their house and their lives. Then, I look at the “Where are they now” update episode from 13 years later.

It’s become an annual tradition at this point to spend my first episode of the year talking about The Uncollecting, which is my effort to downsize my geek stuff. This time around, I’m joined by Relatively Geeky’s own Professor Alan to talk about various aspects of “uncollecting”, from the economics to the personal.

It’s time once again to dive into The Uncollecting! In this year’s episode, I take a look at the PBS series Legacy List With Matt Paxton along with articles that explore the “legacies” of our generations’ past, like brown furniture and memorabilia collections that are left behind. I also give my own update on how this now long-running project has been going.

New Year, New You! At least that’s what they tell ourselves. Back in episode 96, I talked about my efforts to “uncollect” the piles of stuff I own. Well, it’s been a few years, so how is it going?
That’s what this episode is about. I talk about two books I read about hoarding and clutter, the Marie Kondo series Sparking Joy with Marie Kondo, and the “Curiosity Inc.” YouTube series before getting into my own experience with The Uncollecting. So come along and clear the clutter with me!
