Hi. Hi. Hi. How are you there? Hi. Hey, Nora.

0:11.9

I'm Nora McInerney, and this is thanks for asking, a call-in show about what matters to you.

Hi, everybody. It's Nora McInerney. This is, thanks for asking, a show about what

matters to you. And what matters to you today is hoarding, specifically hoarding parents. So a couple weeks ago, I posted a question box on my

0:41.6

Instagram and someone sent in this question. My parents are serious, awful hoarders. How do I not
