+ ADD YOUR COLLECTION TO THE DIRECTORY
Fill this out and you're in the directory. Simple as that. We verify everything before it goes up — usually within a day or two. You'll also be added to our very light email list (new episode notifications, nothing else). Unsubscribe anytime, no hard feelings.
WHAT DO YOU COLLECT? is a show about the things people can't stop acquiring and the stories behind why. Every episode is one collector, one obsession, and two hosts who are genuinely delighted to be there.
We don't care what it's worth. We care why you started, what piece number one looks like, and what it says about who you are. Every collection is a self-portrait if you look at it right.
New episodes drop every two weeks — live on Twitch first, then YouTube, then everywhere else. The Collector Directory is always open. Add yourself. Find your people.
NATE ST. PIERRE has been building things on the internet since 1996. He co-founded ItStartsWith.Us, Love Drop, YouBots.ai, and about a dozen other projects that brought people together. He doesn't collect anything except good stories.
J. MONEY is an award-winning blogger, accidental entrepreneur, coin collector, skateboarder, yogi, and early retiree. He's been building communities online for 17 years. He does collect things. Coins, mostly. And moments.
📬 P.O. Box coming soon — we'll be asking every guest to send us one small piece from their collection to keep in the background of the show. Watch the shelf grow.
