Dolls are back as a major part of the pop culture conversation right now.

Between the Barbie movie and the resurgence of American Girl for millennials and Gen Zers, lots of people are returning to the childhood collections and even looking to expand those collections. Today, we’re talking with doll collectors, creators and restorers in Middle Tennessee about community and vintage, antique and modern dolls.

This episode was produced by Elizabeth Burton.

Guests: 

  • Linda Boardman, doll collector
  • Amanda Boylston, doll collector and owner of LovedAGainDollsTN
  • Dr. Carla Davis, doll collector and president of Dixie Doll-ers
  • Ann Cummings, doll collector
