Episode 1, “Movin’ Green,” looks at the best ways to make a move more environmentally friendly: how to pack, donate, dispose and move items with the least ecological impact. This Podcast provides tips on how to deal with all of the “stuff” that tends to accumulate over a lifetime, how to safely transport and dispose of hazardous materials and the best ways to find waste and recycling services in a new city.

Episode 2, “Movin’ in the City,” focuses on the special challenges of moving in an urban area. While the proximity to museums, restaurants and urban employers are benefits to living in an urban area, the complexity of making a seamless move can be quite frustrating. This episode simplifies the urban moving process with tips on parking, scheduling, elevators, security and making good first impressions, as well as pointers on how to conduct research prior to selecting a professional mover.

Episode 3, “Moving Home Electronics,” offers suggestions on how to deal with electronics that can be complicated to move and expensive to replace. This Podcast covers ways to dismantle and safely pack a home computer and printer and how to keep expensive large-screen, plasma and LCD televisions safe during the moving process.
