With the number of active listeners across the UK growing exponentially, podcasts have revolutionised how we consume information – whilst bringing a much wider range of voices and ideas to the forefront.
Accessible for free to anyone with a smartphone, the growing number of podcasts specifically dedicated to the Property industry has been particularly encouraging. Excitingly, as more property podcasters compete for listenership, content quality and production values continue to improve.
Below we have highlighted some of the more interesting “on demand” audio resources that are well worth checking out. However, before doing so, please read our disclaimer at the end of this post.
