The Property Couch
Australia’s top property podcast for everyday investors who want real results, not hype.
Originally shaped by long-time hosts Ben Kingsley and Bryce Holdaway, The Property Couch has evolved into a new chapter led by Ben alongside the expanded Couch Crew. The foundations remain the same: practical frameworks, clear thinking, and real stories that help Australians make smarter decisions.
Backed by data, banter, and proudly anti-spruiker since 2015!
