What’s In, What I’ve Outgrown: 10 Things I’m Backing This First Half of 2025
Mid-year already? Wild. In this solo episode, I’m taking a moment to reflect on 2025 so far — sharing 10 things I’ve been genuinely loving when it comes to home, lifestyle, and content creation.From soft-washed cotton and coverlets finally getting their flowers, to the joy of seasonal living, Aussie design pride, and why I’m done performing for the algorithm — it’s a mix of trends, shifts, and personal realisations.Some of it’s aesthetic. Some of it’s about boundaries. All of it’s part of how I’m choosing to live and show up this year.New Fellow Friends in Home & Hosting episodes will return fortnightly — but in the meantime, enjoy this one-on-one date night with yours truly.

A New Chapter Begins - Welcome Fellow Friends in Home & Hosting
This is the official introduction to Fellow Friends in Home & Hosting — a new series within the podcast where I sit down with content creators from around the world to talk about what it really means to make a home.So far, Home and Hosting has been a solo space — a place for me to share my thoughts on interiors, routines, and the feeling of home. But I’ve always believed in telling the world who you are before you’re given the title — and this series is just that. A space to shine a light on the creators who’ve built community, created beauty, and shared it all through the lens of home.Whether you’re renting, renovating, or dreaming of your next move — these chats are full of inspiration, warmth, and the kind of thoughtful creativity that makes this niche anything but small.Welcome to the series. I can’t wait to bring you along.

WeddingTok and the One-Day Aesthetic: Beautiful for a Day, Boring for a Lifetime
You styled your wedding down to the last napkin—but what about your Tuesday night dinner at home?In this episode of Home and Hosting, Loui dives into the world of WeddingTok and asks the big question: why do we allow ourselves to live beautifully for one day… but not every day? From the aesthetics of ambient lighting to the deeper psychology behind performance and presence, this is a conversation about taste, permission, and how we’re all secretly craving more beauty in our daily lives.Plus, we talk about divorce stats (yep), the quiet shame around loving nice things, and why your matcha spoon deserves as much attention as your bridal bouquet.If you’ve ever felt like daily life doesn’t get the Pinterest treatment it deserves, this one’s for you.
Let's kick this much-awaited podcast into gear! I'm so excited to finally get behind the microphone and talk to you about all things home & hosting. I'm Loui Burke, known on TikTok and Instagram for my home tips and tricks - particularly my bed-making skills. I've got a background in design, photo styling and marketing. But I am now working as a full-time content creator. I hope you enjoy this podcast where I briefly touch on the importance of making up your home. As I personally feel like you deserve to make a space to retreat from the outside world.
