A new show from Kendra Bartels
The Front Porch with Kendra
Real conversations about real life for young Canadians: housing, money, the hard stuff nobody posts about, and the people who make our communities what they are.
What we’ll talk about
The kind of conversations that happen on a front porch: honest, a little long, and better with a coffee in hand.
Housing
Buying, renting and what it really takes to put down roots right now.
Money
Budgets, debt and mortgages, in plain language with no jargon.
Real life
The struggles we all deal with and rarely talk about out loud.
Community
Stories from the people who’ve shaped my life and the places we live.
Pull up a chair
I ask a lot of questions, and I’ll admit I talk a lot too. That’s the whole idea: two chairs, the porch light on, and a real conversation.
My guests come from all walks of life and from every side of the political spectrum. You don’t have to agree with everyone you hear here. You just have to be willing to listen.
New episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube, with clips on my socials.
Episodes
The porch light comes on November 27.

Also from Kendra
By day, I help homeowners and landlords use their mortgage to pay off debt sooner and save at tax time.
