Episode Synopsis "Why do we build collections?"

Humans have always collected objects—from shells by the seashore, to toys, books, and stamps! But why do we gather, organize and display these items? And how does society benefit from this hobby? We explore that and more with collectors like ARMY and K-Pop merch collector Bella Toledo, toy collector and journalist Pam Pastor, weapon collector and anthropology professor Bobot Jocano, and comic collector and grader Misha Lecaros.Live what you love with Smart!
