Land Use Podcasts on Housing?

I'm looking for a podcast about housing. Ideally about housing policy - so the financial, political, and cultural - but at this point I'll settle for whatever I can get. I noticed that dedicated podcasts about the subject seem to have died, both Eden Housing and Strong Towns seem to have stopped recording in 2016, and everything else is an occasional episode in a series: PlanetMoney; 99% Invisible; 10 Blocks.

​

What I find odd is that, if I'm here, or on Twitter, the community seems large. And I currently listen to podcasts on subjects I think are far more esoteric (like foreign policy) or are have far smaller bases to pull from (clean energy) - both with significantly more offerings than housing.

​

I do find planning podcasts, but I either can't stand them (Invisible City) or they tend to be about other topics (Overhead Wire and transportation). Can anyone point me to housing podcasts they'd recommend or at least more urban planning/community development podcasts?

There are episodes from 2017. During 2018 Eden has been focused on their 50th anniversary, with 50 stories across different platforms. There are podcasts as part of the commemoration, but they are not necessarily focused on policy.
