Money Talks
This is Money Talks - a podcast from the Irish Independent hosted by Katie Byrne, focused on our relationship with money - from the first time we discovered it right up to how we spend it today.
Each week, you’ll hear anecdotes, advice, and eyebrow-raising admissions from Katie's guests as they delve into their finances and how it impacts their lives – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
So, if that sounds like a show worth investing in, you can follow Money Talks wherever you get your podcasts... new episodes land on Wednesdays.
