    What could be the biggest change to real estate in a century

    Where did all of D.C.’s federal workers go?

    Where did all of D.C.’s federal workers go?

    The campaign to shrink the federal government is working — in Washington, D.C., at least. Data released by the Labor Department shows that D.C. ranked dead last when it comes to growth in federal government jobs last year. Most federal workers have always been based outside the nation’s capital, but the pandemic turbocharged that, hitting the city’s bottom line. Plus, why is it getting more expensive to do your taxes?

Burn volume

Please keep normal tone, very annoying

Great up to date information

Required listening if you want facts about markets and economy without any spin. I do wish Leanna Burn would would pick a volume though - she starts each sentence with a shout and ends with a whisper - difficult to listen to on headphones.

Random things put together, undiversified sources, many ads and bias news

The podcast feels pleasant and friendly at first but over time, I realize it is very biased, and it start to feel like they put together a lot of random things, so many important news are usually missing if you listen to a diverse sources of news. Commentators keep coming from one sources if it is about economics. They also have so many ads that keep popping up many times during a 10 min show. I don’t think I will keep listening to this podcast.
