What happened to the IT galz podcast?
The mega-popular It Galz podcast has come to an end as host Lindsay Hamilton has decided to call it quits after presenting alone for six months. The podcast has a huge audience and the pair who originally launched it in 2017 even took it on the road, including a string of headline shows at Dublin's Vicar Street.
Why did the IT galz break up?
If merchandise lines and sold-out shows at Vicar Street are anything to go by, the partnership was a massive success. The It Galz disbanded this past summer - a personal rift between the pair the cause - and they've gone their separate ways as a result.

You have achieved amazing success with your podcast IT Galz, how do you feel social media has helped you in the process?
Thank you! Social had definitely helped us harness a community of like-minded people. IT GALZ is not about one specific topic like a lot of podcasts, so having social as a platform to interact with such a wide variety of people is important to us.
How would you advise someone or a business looking to promote their brand to approach social media?
I would say having a strategy is the most important, and not to get obsessed with numbers. Know what you're posting and why and keep a business page separate to your personal page. It's so easy to engage in a followers race, but it's ultimately worthless.
Do you find there is a specific aesthetic that works best on Instagram when posting on the IT Galz page and your own personal accounts?
IT GALZ social is a place where we can solidify the brand and aesthetic of the podcast whereas our own profiles are more personal. Having an Instagram for IT GALZ has definitely helped us think of an overall brand identity for the podcast which we both find very important, in order to differentiate ourselves from the rest!
Which social media platform do you feel allows you to connect best with your audience?
Our Patreon is amazing because it's a small group of 1,500 who all chat back and forth about each episode. There's a real sense of community on there. Recently we have been concentrating on YouTube because it's definitely an unscratched surface when it comes to content creation in Ireland.
Working with social media is quite similar to being in a committed relationship, how do you manage and organise so much content for social?
We take a very casual approach to social when it comes to IT GALZ. We will always aim to have about three posts per week on IG, one or two videos per month for YouTube and peppered Instagram stories throughout, but we don't kill ourselves over it.
What inspires you to keep producing new and current content?
There's no singular thing really! We started IT GALZ to create content that we would have loved to consume, at a time when the Irish influencer scene was overly curated. Now things have definitely improved for the better but we still always want to talk to those who we feel aren't being spoken to.
Moving forward, do you feel social media will still play such a key part in business and promotion in the future?
Definitely. Social media is a double-edged sword because now there is an almost unregulated marketplace and anyone can technically become famous from it, sometimes to their detriment. That also means that unfortunately some businesses who are not tech-savvy may be left behind.
