It's been a difficult year for many and we hope you will enjoy some of our suggestions and have a very merry holiday season - however you choose to celebrate!

During lockdown, television has been a pretty constant companion for many people. This week's episode is something of a hymn to that most joyous art form... Inspired by Brett Goldstein's podcast which Livvy is always banging on about, Freddie and Livvy bring you a special ep in which we share the TV shows which have shaped our lives. As ever, you can get in touch on Twitter @arealgem2 and read our newsletter here. Enjoy, lil gems!

After a brief hiatus Livvy and Freddie are BACK and they have a lot to get off their chests... Warning, contains discussion of extremely irritating behaviour, as Livvy and Fred unload some of their pettiest of pet peeves. Follow us on Twitter @arealgem2 to be the first to know when new episodes are released. For some spicy extra content, you can subscribe to our Hidden Gems newsletter.

This week, Freddie and Livvy give some fool-proof advice on dealing with bad neighbours, and the limitations of meditating on Zoom...

After a brief, inadvertent hiatus Livvy and Producer Fred are back!

The second and concluding part of our special throwback special to round off your weekend! We move on from mostly munchable musings to our highlights from the music, film, and TV that defined our childhoods. Enjoy - and do feel free to share some of your throwbacks with us on Twitter @arealgem2
