Hoarding on NPR

20 July 2011

In the past week, two public radio programs had episodes focusing on hoarding.

You can read transcripts of the stories on the respective show’s websites.

The Diane Rehm Show’s episode on hoarding aired on July 13. The Diane Rehm Show airs out of Washington, D.C.

Here and Now had an episode on hoarding on July 19. Here and Now is broadcast from Boston.

As a professional organizer who works with clients on the full spectrum of the “clutter-hoarding scale”: I like the attention that the media have given to hoarding. It’s a serious, complicated problem that deserves serious attention. Since I’ve been onvacation, I haven’t actually had a chance to listen to the shows, but I have high hopes the topics have received the usual serious, respectful NPR coverage.

ETA: My bad! Here and Now is a program from Public Radio International, though it’s produced at an NPR station. Both NPR and PRI create thought-provoking, quality programming, in my opinion.
