BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Love Island Fashion; Richer Sounds; Gambling VIPs

The fast fashion industry built around the reality TV show Love Island.

Google has allowed the ticket re-sale website Viagogo to start advertising on its search engine again, after banning adverts for the website last year. Why has Viagogo been allowed to come top of Google searches again?

Sales at many "fast fashion" companies are booming and the reality TV series Love Island is helping to drive the race for new outfits.  But how is it supporting moves for improved sustainability in fashion?

Hi-Fi and home technology shop Richer Sounds is bucking the downward trend on the high street. We meet its founder Julian Richer.

Cross-party MPs are criticising the Gambling Commission for asking GVC, the owner of betting companies Ladbrokes and Coral to lead a review into VIP schemes and incentives, when Ladbrokes and Coral have been fined millions by the regulator for failing to help vulnerable people in the past.

And, do you care about your digital afterlife?  What happens to all your photos, music and social media accounts when you die? We speak to Elaine Kasket, a counselling psychologist about her new book, All the Ghosts in the Machine.

Presenter: Peter White
Producer: Lydia Thomas
