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 (Waxahatchee), Yung Pueblo, Gretchen Rubin,  Merrill Garbus (Tune-Yards), Ann Friedman, adrienne maree brown, Lulu Miller, someone who hums on elevators, Cassandra Jenkins, Mark Bittman, Zak's wife, child, best friends and YOU (call Zak with your advice at 844-935-BEST).
