Welcome to We're Still Here, EG's new weekly podcast created exclusively to help you get through the strangest of times.
The entire EG content team will be working together to bring you these weekly episodes that will not only provide a round up of the latest real estate news, trends and analysis but will hopefully make social distancing and self isolating just that little bit easier.
Since the spread of COVID-19 has seen the world change almost overnight, the majority of us now working from home or at least working in a very different way to what we are all used to. EG wants to bring our weekly print and online content to life in this new podcast and remind everyone out there that we are most definitely still here.
As we all take things day by day, this podcast too can evolve over the coming weeks. Let is know what you want, who you want to hear from, what information you need and we will try to make that happen.
Until then enjoy episode one and embrace that Friday feeling if you possibly can.
