Tune in to these addictive podcasts

While we certainly appreciate the feeling of curling up with a good book, the life of a busy REALTOR® might not allow for marathon reading sessions.

This year, instead of an annual reading list, we’re going digital. So, the next time you’re driving between showings, why not use the time to listen to one of these podcasts as recommended by CREA staff?

Planet Money

Understanding the economy can be complicated. Once a week, Planet Money takes a small part of it and breaks it down with unique insight to help you navigate these waters.

Strategist and pollster David Herle is joined by journalists, politicians, athletes, musicians and opinion leaders. The Herle Burly offers a commotion of insights, arguments, opinions and a laugh or two.
