About This Podcast
Collectors MD Features is a collection of podcast and show appearances from Founder, Alyx Effron, exploring the hobby, the movement, and our mission to raise awareness around more responsible collecting. These conversations span topics from compulsive spending and gambling-like mechanics to healthier, more intentional ways to engage – bringing these perspectives to new audiences and helping spark dialogue that’s long overdue within the hobby.
Through open, honest discussions, these appearances help expand the reach of the movement while creating space for conversations that aren’t always represented. We’re deeply grateful to every creator, host, and platform who has invited us to share this perspective and play a role in bringing this message to the people who need it most.
Watch all episodes of Collectors MD Features on YouTube.
Make sure to also check out our other video series, The Collector’s Compass & Behind The Breaks, streaming on all platforms.
