She's been having a lot of video calls with her friends. "I think that's the only thing keeping me sane," she tells us.

This episode was originally released on July 18, 2019. The podcast will be on hiatus during the COVID-19 crisis, so we're re-releasing some of our favorite episodes every Thursday for the next few weeks. 

In this season finale episode, I recap what I've learned from visiting 4 different types of garage sales. Featuring clips and interviews from episodes 1, 2, and 4, I attempt to uncover why our possessions often become so important to us, even if we don't use them on a regular basis.

Greg's yard sale lacked personality. Everything he was selling was very generic, and he had no attachment to any of it. 

While Greg had never been to any sort of yard or rummage sale before, he knew he wanted to have one once he moved into his new home in a sleepy Atlanta suburb. 

Are you wondering if this episode of the podcast is going to be as boring as Greg is? Tune in to find out.

It was the month before DragonCon when I visited Atlanta's first-ever cosplay yard sale in 2017. The event gave local cosplayers a chance to rid their closets of costumes and props they'd been holding on to for years or find something new to complete their ensembles for upcoming conventions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on all our lives. Maggie just wanted to put out a quick episode to address that.

In this episode, Maggie explores the concept of decluttering. She talks with artist July Laban about moving on, letting go, and starting fresh. She also interviews professional organizer Francesco Pireddu about how he helps his clients do more than just get rid of stuff; he helps them make space in their lives for what they really want.

As for Francesco, he doesn't have a website. He should really get on that.
