**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!
