Money Talks: Jenny Claffey - ‘Affording something doesn't mean you have the money in your bank account'

Having cut her teeth in podcasting as co-host of runaway smash It Galz, Claffey went solo in 2021 with the launch of Red Room, a true crime podcast that dives deep into cults, conspiracy theories and unsolved mysteries. She's also a regular presence on social media, sharing insights and recommendations on various standout attractions in pop culture. On this episode of Money Talks, she pulls back the curtain on the financial highs and lows of content creation, and the determining factors thereof. 'The first year [of the It Galz podcast], actually I think I exactly matched my wage,' she tells host Katie Byrne. 'So, I was like, OK, if I just kept doing this, I'm still making a pretty good wage. And then the next year I think we doubled that. 'We were doing really, really well. I think I always knew that would happen, though, just in terms of how a business goes – you can go really up and then you might go down and then you find somewhere that's a bit more steady. Also, it was hard to gauge because our biggest year was Covid.' Claffey also reveals her spending obsessions and apprehensions, explains how to build an online community, and recalls key financial advice that still pays off today.
