LOS ANGELES — [November 9th, 2026] — Today Daylight announced Genius Bimbos, a new original podcast hosted by writer and producer Emily Abbott and writer and creator Fiona Shea, premiering November 11, with new episodes released weekly on Wednesdays.
Built on the idea that being smart and having fun are hardly mutually exclusive, Genius Bimbos pairs research-driven deep dives with candid, funny conversations about the things its hosts can’t stop thinking about. From navigating friendships and dating to psychology, history, and internet lore, Abbott and Shea follow their curiosity wherever it takes them, bringing listeners into the conversation along the way.
Both hosts bring experience shaping conversations across podcasts, radio, and television. Abbott previously worked as a creative producer and writer on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy and Alix Earle’s Hot Mess, and her television writing credits include Cobra Kai and an upcoming Taylor Sheridan show. Shea co-hosted more than 200 episodes of Unwell’s SiriusXM show The Daily Dirty and writes the Substack Imperfect Female Protagonist.
“Genius Bimbos is about being curious without being pretentious. We wanted to create a space for thoughtful deep dives, hilarious conversations, and the kind of advice you’d give your closest friends” Abbott and Shea said.
Alongside its deep dives, Genius Bimbos will feature advice episodes, inviting listeners to submit questions and dilemmas for the hosts to unpack.
Genius Bimbos premieres November 11, 2026, with new episodes every Wednesday.
