In this Feedwarmer episode, we spotlight one of our absolute favourite projects of 2025: Unguilty Pleasures - the Real Housewives–inspired podcast we launched this year as a collaboration between AiAi Studios and Daylight Productions.
Hosted by Liv Little and Scarlett Curtis, Unguilty Pleasures is a joyful, self-aware ode to reality TV, escapism and the softer corners of culture we don’t always give ourselves permission to enjoy. From the chaotic brilliance of The Real Housewives to the emotional intelligence hidden inside so-called “trash TV,” Liv and Scarlett dive into the shows that hold us, distract us, heal us or simply make us laugh.
In this episode, we revisit their conversation with Elizabeth Day - a warm, funny, chaotic delight that celebrates pleasure without guilt, the art of switching off, and the beauty of finding meaning in the unserious. We reflect on why these worlds grip us, what they reveal about class, gender and longing, and why escape isn’t something to apologise for.
If you need a smile, a breather or a reminder that joy counts as culture, this Feedwarmer is for you.
To close the year, we also share how much fun it has been to help bring this show into the world - with Aiwan Obinyan serving as Executive Producer and Senior Producer, Elizabeth Day as Executive Producer, and Tamanda Walker leading on data and insights for the series. One of the brightest collaborations of our 2025.
