Mike Price of MLBroadcast takes over as the CORE podcast interviewer to speak with Drew Meyers of ZillowBlog, host of the 75th edition of the Carnival of Real Estate. The discussion covers the history of CORE and Drew's picks for this milestone version of the Carnival.

I spoke with John Wake this afternoon, who hosted the 70th edition of the carnival at Arizona Real Estate Notebook, for this week�s CoRE Podcast. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

The latest CoRE Podcast is now posted. Benn Rosales from Single Pointe Realty was my latest guest. Benn hosted the 63rd edition of the carnival, for this week�s CoRE Podcast. I hope everyone enjoys the discussion!

This afternoon, I had the chance to talk with Danilo Bogdanovic, who hosted the 58th edition of the carnival, for this week�s CoRE Podcast. MyBlogLog has certainly done a lot to humanize real estate blogging (and blogging in general), but there�s still nothing like actually speaking to someone. I always enjoy getting on the phone with a carnival host for a podcast, as it brings another human element to blogging that is often missed sitting behind a computer. Hope everyone enjoys the conversation!

To say the 50th edition of the carnival was anything less than spectacular would be a travesty (28 comments speak volumes on their own). This morning, I had the pleasure of speaking with the man behind the curtain, Toby Boyce, for this week�s CoRE Podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed the 12-minute conversation � so hopefully, you find some value in listening to the discussion (or you can just listen to learn a bit more about Toby). I must say, it�s pretty cool we�re half way to the 100th edition. And, again, a huge thanks has to go to everyone that has supported the carnival � both hosting and submitting (and special thanks to those who have done both).

Colorful subjects, colorful posts. Appropriately, today's 46th edition of the Carnival of Real Estate uses a color theme this week when annointing the winners since Craig Schiller, host of the carnival, is a home stager in Chicago and the author/owner/stager of the Home Staging, Rants & Raves blog. Craig's biz is to "... professionally merchandise properties using style, scale, proportion, color, and flow to ultimately make a home "unforgettable" in the eyes of the buyer." Go take a look! http://www.realestaging.blogspot.com/

This morning, I caught up with Kevin Warmath, who hosted the 44th edition of the carnival last Tuesday, for the latest CoRE podcast. Due to hectic schedules last week, we didn�t have time to schedule a podcast until today. I�m very impressed with Kevin�s ability to attract clients from his blog � 2-3 phone calls a week from his blog is pretty impressive if you ask me. He purposely doesn�t write about industry issues so that he can focus entirely on consumer content, though this might be the reason much of the carnival�s real estate professional audience may have not come across his North Fulton County Real Estate blog yet. I enjoyed the chat. Hopefully, you do too. Thanks Kevin! ~Drew Meyers

Are you considering an offshore investment? If you have your eye on some overseas real estate, click on the podcast link to get to know Harvey Edgecombe -- the London real estate market is his specialty. Harvey recently hosted the 38th carnival of real estate on his blog, Renthusiast.org and that was also the first international appearance of the carnival. This call was recorded just over a week ago. If you follow real estate blogs, you'll probably know Renthusiast.org for its thoughtful analysis and its no-frills appearance. I enjoyed chatting with Harvey; he's a smart guy who calls it like it is and who is clearly ahead of the pack in the UK where real estate blogging is still scarce. Thanks, Harvey!

When in New York, do what the New Yorkers do: Party! That's right, a dinner party theme was used to announce this week's winners of the 36th edition of the Carnival of Real Estate, posted on NY Houses 4 Sale by the hostess with the most-est, Christine Forgione. Thanks, Christine, for a delicious ride through this week's lineup, with the main course going to Greg Swann's post, Egoism in Action.

Michael Price hosted the 34th Carnival of Real Estate last Monday and I caught up with Mike last week to chat about the carnival and his video listings business, ML Podcast. Click the link below to listen to meet Michael and hear our conversation -- Mike explains why your listings should be on iTunes and how to write a blog post about the sub-prime mortgage tragedy that stands out from the crowd.

The Carnival of Real Estate turns 30 today and is posted at Pittsburgh Homes Daily. This week's edition took a Valentine's flavor and handed out three awards -- the Dinner Out, Dozen Roses, and Box of Chocolates Awards. You'll have to take a look for yourself to discover the winners!
