This week, we’ll hear from a decluttering expert and TV host who now lives in Georgia. Matt Paxton, formerly of the A&E show “Hoarders,” now hosts a show on PBS called “Legacy List With Matt Paxton.” The Suwanee resident rummages through collectibles and heirlooms found in attics, cellars and closets, helping baby boomers pare down their stuff as they downsize and focus on what is truly valuable to them.

On this week’s podcast, Paxton talks about his own personal experience with downsizing to move in with his fiancée in Georgia and tells Rodney Ho what led him to his line of work.
