b'You\\u2019ve heard us talk about downsizing here on the Podcast. Hopefully you\\u2019ve learned a bit about organizing, how to get ready to live in a tiny space, and about how to prioritize experiences over life. This week, however, we\\u2019re donning the \\u201cother shoe\\u201d and interviewing someone with experiences in an almost-alternate-world that hopefully you\\u2019ll never have to live to see; Hoarding. Our discussion this week with Matt Chan, creator of the famous TV show \\u201cHoarders\\u201d gives us a peek into the world of emotional connections to things, how TV shows can actually help people with this addiction-like-connection to their stuff, and a glimpse of the pressure that one has to handle while producing a TV show. Is your pile of stuff in the garage something to be concerned about? Is your Grandma\\u2019s obsession with ceramic dolls, an illness worth addressing? We\\u2019re not sure. But, maybe Matt\\u2019s advice this week can help you assess whether or not a tiny house, or a not-so-tiny dumpster, is your next stop towards living simply.\\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04DJ3UPe2p8'
