Property, Australia's Favourite Obsession
G'day my name is Jeremy Calnan and I'm the podcast host of Property - Australia's Favourite Obsession (PAFO). Everybody loves property, we buy it, we sell it. We feel it every day in the city and in the country as we live in apartments, flats, townhouses, on quarter-acre blocks and in courtyard homes. Every minute of every day our lives are touched by property as we visit shopping and medical centres, eat in restaurants and hotels, attend school, the office or any other places of work. Our leisure time is spent in cinemas and theatres, parks and in sporting arenas. ...
