I love you Uncle Bill. ( Btw…I pretend nice people are related to me…. Makes me feel really proud). People think I’m nuts but I’m so old I can not give a F. Lololol
I look forward to Ill-Advised every week! I love Bill’s soothing voice and wit. I wish they were longer than an hour, but I guess always leave ‘em wanting more. Music suggestions are great, as are the books. Very smart guy, that Nighy. Keep ‘em coming!
Marvellously entertaining!
I could not love this podcast more. The world is a better place with Bill and his podcast in it.
this is fun & wise
