2025 was a record-breaking year for the Walker Webcast, and we’re proud to share just how far we’ve come.

With more than 20 million lifetime viewers and listeners, the Walker Webcast has become one of the most trusted and forward-thinking series in commercial real estate, finance, and leadership. In 2025 alone, the series drew 8,067,717 viewers and listeners, making it our highest-performing year yet.

Through candid, data-backed conversations with the biggest names in business, economics, and real estate, we provided the insights our audience needed to navigate an unpredictable market and stay one step ahead.

The episodes that defined the year

This year featured our highest number of episodes to date, and the response was remarkable. Among the standout moments were these top five episodes:

  1. 2025 Economic Outlook with Mohamed El-Erian
  2. Navigating the Complex Housing Market with Willy Walker and Stephen Scherr
  3. The Most Insightful Hour in CRE: Part 23 with Dr. Peter Linneman
  4. What’s Shaping the 2025 Housing Market? with Ivy Zelman
  5. The Evolution of an Industry with Mallory Walker

Our most-watched and most-engaged episode was the 2025 Economic Outlook with Mohamed El-Erian, viewed over 581,000 times and driving 2,500 likes and 240 comments.

Walker Webcast Wrapped: A fresh way to look back

In 2025, we put a creative spin on year-end reflection by launching Walker Webcast Wrapped, our very own version of the beloved Spotify Wrapped campaign.

We highlighted the episodes that sparked the most discussion, the moments that resonated most deeply, and the insights that viewers returned to again and again.

This campaign was a celebration of shared learning, audience engagement, and the community that has formed around the webcast. From LinkedIn to inboxes, Wrapped extended our reach and reminded us why the Walker Webcast matters: it informs, inspires, and drives action.

More to come in 2026

The Walker Webcast isn’t slowing down. In 2026, we’ll continue raising the bar, bringing together bold thinkers, timely topics, and strategic perspectives for our growing audience.

To the millions of viewers, listeners, and guests who made 2025 such a success: thank you.
