About The Show

The Best Advice Show is your reminder that there are weird, delightful and effective ways to make life slightly and sometimes profoundly better.  In every (very short) episode of the show, a different contributor offers their take on making life more joyful, healthful and livable and it's likely gonna be something you can try today, if you want. 

Contributors include Hanif Abdurraqib, Mike Mills, someone who howls like a wolf when they're lonely, Sarah Polley, Katie Crutchfield from Waxahatchee, someone who likes eating popcorn without their hands, Yung Pueblo, Gretchen Rubin,  Merrill Garbus from Tune-Yards, Ann Friedman, adrienne maree brown, Lulu Miller from Radiolab, someone who hums on elevators, Cassandra Jenkins, someone who flushes their psychic trespassers down the toilet, Mark Bittman, someone who started a quarter-cake club with her neighbors, Zak's wife, child, best friends and YOU (call Zak with your advice at 844-935-BEST).
