STOP! Listen to the most recent episode before attempting to "start at the beginning". Next, listen to Episode 28 - The Actual First Episode. Only then may you listen to the Preamble Ramble. To do otherwise risks breaking this podcast.

A brief introduction to the glorious Hoard and the ground rules for the podcast.

This is Hoard Explorer. It’s not a gross and sad hoard like you see on reality TV, and it’s nowhere near as large and invasive a “hoarder” hoard. But it is a slightly irrational hoard of papers, junk, and data that I’ve been collecting over the course of my life. This is the first of a weekly podcast about the hoard, what it is, why it is, and most critically, what it means. This episode goes over the underlying concept: each object in the hoard will serve as a memory trigger that I will faithfully follow into the rabbit holes of future episodes. This is kind of a game by which I build a memoir. Think of it as investigative autobiography and personal archaeology. I have a famously bad memory, so I expect to be surprised as we go deeper into the hoard. In this episode I also give the high level background of the hoards evolution, from high school to the present day. I also reveal what prompted me to begin this podcast right now (rather than save the hoard as a time capsule).
