About Rip It Up: The Renovations Podcast

In the Rip it Up podcast, RTE's Home of the Year winner Jenny and finalist Kate step the listener through everything they've learned in buying a wreck of a house and turning it into a dream home. They demystify the entire renovation journey, from finding the right house, all the way through the renovation process, from picking a builder, to choosing wallpaper. No brick will be left unturned. As well as being a management consultant, Jenny writes a weekly home column in a national Irish newspaper as well as being a regular guest on national Irish radio. Kate, before branching out into renovation consulting full time, worked in technical roles in engineering and sustainability.Together, they make an expert team, ready to inspire and motivate would-be renovators and DIYers alike.
