**Weirdly Helpful (formerly The Best Advice Show)**

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. In each episode a different contributor offers an odd experiment, a silly ritual, a curious practice that you’ll find weirdly helpful. Stuff like howling when you’re despondent, eating oranges in the shower and metaphorically flushing your adversary down the toilet!

Mental Health Awareness Month pt. 8: Never Chase It, Let It Come To You with Sequoia Holmes May 25, 2023

Show notes

The podcast Black People Love Paramore is exactly what you think it is. Each episode, pop-culture and media expert Sequoia Holmes brings on comedians and pop-culture critics (Justin Richmond, Sydnee Washington, Jewel Wicker) to investigate the seemingly random, underrepresented interests of different niches of Black people. It’s always so funny that I often forget that I’m listening in on what usually ends up being a mini-lectures. It’s funny but really insightful. This all started because Sequoia wanted to talk about her love for Paramore and why it surprised people to learn this. (PLOT TWIST: She does NOT like the new album.)
