Money Talks: Fionnuala Jones: 'I really don't panic about things that I probably should be panicking about'

Whether it's waxing lyrical about high-profile entertainment disasters on her Flop Culture podcast, assessing the latest showbiz news on Newstalk's Movies & Booze slot, or interviewing big-name stars on The Six O'Clock Show, Jones' diary is usually pretty full. And then there's a constant stream of online content creation to consider, not to mention a dedication to sustainable fashion that she's committed to in recent years. 'I was always into vintage secondhand fashion, but I was also growing really disillusioned with fast fashion and buying things really cheaply and the stuff coming and being like... 'I hate this', or it wasn't lasting, or the quality wasn't really good,' she tells Katie Byrne on the latest episode of the Money Talks podcast. 'And I was also getting more cognisant of the fact that people were being paid very little to make these clothes that I didn't even like. So, I decided to test myself. I've been trying to continue to add to my wardrobe as opposed to looking at my wardrobe and going 'right, I need to get rid of all of this', because that's not sustainable. Sustainable is wearing the clothes you already have.' In conversation with host Katie Byrne, Jones provides an off-the-cuff guide for those looking to swap out fast fashion for something eco-friendlier and more affordable. She also discusses the joys and challenges of getting into the property market at a young age, and the precarious nature of the influencer industry.
