Even if you don’t collect something now, it’s very likely you collected something as a kid– cereal box toys, rocks, stamps, tiny trinkets, etc. We talk to a guest about what we collect and why the historian in all of us sometimes drives us to do it. We also find out more about a federal judge’s ruling that requires the Trump administration to reunite migrant families on a tight timeline. Plus, we talk about the state supreme court upholding a cap on medical malpractice damages.

Why We Like To Collect Things
