Weirdly Helpful (formerly The Best Advice Show) is a short, weekly infusion of delightful, unexpected and strange ways to make life slightly and sometimes profoundly better.

After listening to the morning news podcast I treated myself to this show. My favorites that I use most days are the witchy water maneuvers, writing a letter instead of looking at your phone, touching grass, mind palace for your mind/ 9o’clock rule
Capsule wardrobe: yes. Minimizing your clothing's impact on your mental space: yes. Ordering things from Amazon: no. Throwing things in the trash as soon as they're stained or need light mending: terrible advice!! Mend before you spend, people, and don't shop on Amazon if you can avoid it at all (which can be done 99% of the time)
Zak manages to go deep into very helpful every day issues in very practical ways. Which is hard and rare. Thanks for making me feel inspired while giving me concrete steps to evolve.
Each brief episode delivers unique, practical tips that can instantly uplift your day. It's a delightful reminder that small changes can make life significantly better. Highly recommend if you're looking for quick, actionable advice to enhance your daily routine!
This show is wonderful, and it also makes me realize how many podcasts are made for rather superficial or disposal purposes, if you are looking for a podcast with more substance and meaning than most , but still in a fun digestible format this is for you!
