You can find podcasts that focus on one very niche topic, or you can find those that touch on a few aspects of the built environment around us. Our favorite podcasts do the latter, telling important personal stories, sharing professional anecdotes, and discussing the latest in CRE trends, PropTech technologies, and community engagement.
It doesn't matter if you're a developer, broker, architect, community planner, urban designer, public facilitator, smart city specialist, CRE venture capitalist, or related—these podcasts have something for you. Without further ado, let's get to our favorite 5 podcasts!

Relatively new to the scene, Architecture is Political was created by Melissa Daniel to rediscover why she went into architecture in the first place.
