Why do we keep the things we keep?

Hosted by Sam Todd, Charmed is a new podcast about collecting, nostalgia, pop culture and the tiny treasures that end up meaning everything.

From sentimental jewellery and childhood toys to concert tickets, Disney pins, lucky charms and the completely irrational purchases we’ll never part with, Sam is getting into the stories and memories behind the things we treasure.

Because sometimes we collect things. And sometimes, what we’re really collecting are memories.

Welcome to Charmed, with Sam Todd. Stories worn to tell, with Pandora.

Hosted by Sam Todd, Charmed is a podcast about collecting, nostalgia, pop culture and the personal stories behind the things we treasure.

Warm, funny and a little bit obsessed, Charmed celebrates the emotional pull of the small stuff - the lucky charms, sentimental jewellery, childhood souvenirs, irrational purchases and tiny treasures that somehow become part of who we are.

Ever kept a concert ticket for years? Held onto a charm because it reminds you of someone? Refused to part with a childhood toy, a Disney pin, a friendship bracelet or a tiny piece of merch that means way more than it probably should?

That’s where Charmed begins: with Sam stepping inside the worlds of collecting, nostalgia and personal obsession to uncover the stories behind the things people keep close.

Each episode explores a different collecting world - from Disney and fashion archives to fandom, pop culture, toys and accessories - and Sam isn’t doing it alone. She’s joined by familiar faces from each of these worlds, unpacking the pieces they treasure most and the memories tucked inside them.

It’s whimsical, nostalgic in all the right ways, and made for anyone who knows the smallest things can hold the biggest stories.

This is Charmed...The stories behind the things we treasure

What if growing up didn’t mean growing out of the things you love?

For the very first episode of Charmed, Sam Todd is joined by actor, author and collector Chloe Hayden to talk about the tiny treasures, childhood obsessions and sentimental objects that become part of who we are.

Chloe takes us inside her collections, from a lifelong Titanic obsession and hundreds of model horses to Bratz dolls, Pokémon cards and pieces she kept from Heartbreak High. She and Sam also get into the joy of collecting as an adult, why your treasures are meant to be enjoyed, and finding your way back to the things you once thought you had to grow out of.

Then, for Show Me Your Charm, Chloe brings in an extraordinary Titanic keepsake with a story that perfectly sums up why the things we save can mean so much.

Because maybe growing up isn’t about losing your childhood obsessions. Maybe it’s finally getting to love them without being embarrassed.
