Show Me The Money
by Clare Seal & Ellie Austin-Williams
The money podcast that’s more Chandler Bing than Chip & Pin. Each week, we dive into how money shows up in our favourite films and TV shows—whether it’s the ridiculous wealth of Gossip Girl, the financial chaos of Bridget Jones, or the unrealistic rent situations in Friends. Money is everywhere in pop culture, shaping our ideas about spending, saving, and success, often without us even realizing it. But talking about money can feel awkward, boring, or just overwhelming—so we’re making it easier (and way more fun). Join us as we explore the economics of your favourite characters, the financial red flags we should have seen coming, and the big money lessons hidden in the most iconic moments of film and TV. New episodes every Monday. 🎬💰 See acast.com/
