Dr. Robin Zasio and Susan Orlean, this week on Prime Time Radio. Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-0 First, emotional attachments to our belongings can spiral out of control and evolve into a condition called compulsive hoarding. It is close to impossible for hoarders to relinquish their precious objects, even if it means that stuff takes over their lives and their homes. In her book, "The Hoarder in You", psychologist Dr. Robin Zasio, explains how to de-clutter your home and how to avoid becoming a compulsive hoarder.

Then, Susan Orlean recounts the journey of an orphaned puppy found on a battlefield to a legendary movie star in her book, "Rin Tin Tin, The Life and Legend". She has always loved Rin Tin Tin and his television adventures. When she realized Rin Tin Tin was not just a character she came to understand that this was not just a story about a dog, or even the many different dogs that make up the Rin Tin Tin legacy; this is a story about a beloved icon in American popular culture.
