Collector Nation

Collector Nation Podcast is your front-row seat to the stories, strategy, and live action across the entire collectibles universe as the home for the hobby on The Radcast Network. Cards, kicks, vintage, digital collectibles - if it has a story or a market, we cover it. Hosted by marketing disruptor and creator, Ryan Alford, and founder + CEO of Ludex, Brian Ludden, each episode blends real market news, on-air pack rips, honest product reviews, and conversations with athletes, investors, creators, and hobby influencers. We even take it live on eBay, selling what we pull so you can follow the journey from pack to purchase.

New episodes drop Tuesday and Friday. Come for the hits, stay for the know-how, and leave with an edge for your next pickup.
