Created for locals, expats, and curious global audiences alike, the show dives headfirst into what it means to live, work, and thrive in today’s Saudi Arabia.
From navigating cultural expectations to discovering underground art scenes, Frankie (British) and Lily (Australian) blend wit, warmth, and genuine curiosity into every episode alongside their guests. And with over 20,000 downloads to date, the podcast is already sparking conversation from Riyadh, to Australia, London and Dubai.
Hosted by journalism trained duo, Frankie Hilton and Lily Moffatt, two expat voices who have swapped surface-level Facebook group commentary for authentic, on-the-ground insight – the podcast is quickly becoming a must-listen for those seeking more than just headlines and hearsay.
“Our mission is to unpack what life in Saudi really looks like, beyond the headlines and beyond the clichés,” says Frankie Hilton, co-founder and co-host.
“A year before moving our family to Riyadh, I joined the many Facebook groups trying to ‘find out what life in Saudi is like,says Lily Moffatt, co-founder and co-host. “Looking back, not even one gave me a full picture. The insight was superficial at best. We knew there was space for something deeper, something real.”
Whether you’re considering a move to Saudi Arabia, already live there, or are simply curious about what’s happening behind the headlines, Saudi Life: Unpacked offers a refreshing, unfiltered perspective that’s rarely heard and deeply needed.
