For anyone interested in real estate and keeping up to date with what's happening in Vancouver, I've recently heard about a show broadcast on radio that I never knew existed.
It's a one hour show broadcast on Saturday mornings between 10am and 11am on 600am. It's hosted by Tom Lucas (a veteran of the airwaves) and Realtor Don Goodman. They also have different guests on each week.
Archives of recent shows can be found on the www.600am.com web site. 600AM can also be heard on cable 94.3 FM in the lower mainland of B.C.
From what I've heard from on the archives it seems quite a light hearted show and has some useful insights.
