HOARDERS is a musical comedy exploring the things we choose to preserve, and why they matter to us. Judy, a quirky, recently empty-nested mother is trying to hold on to the memories of her daughter Sarah, who has begun a life of her own. Sarah arrives for a visit on the occasion of the passing of the family dog to find that Judy's hoarding problems have grown out of hand since her last visit. Sarah's attempts to remedy the situation spirals out of control, landing the two in “Hoarders Anonymous”, where we meet a group of similarly-minded people who hoard their own things in their own manner. For a time, Judy appears to have cured her hoarding, but will the cure stick?

New episodes are announced as recorded on our mailing list, so join that, too!
