Bad Life Good Advice
Life’s questionable choices, discussed with charm, humor, and absolutely no moral superiority (okay, maybe a little).Bad Life, Good Advice is a lighthearted advice podcast about dating, relationships, and the everyday moments that deserve to be overanalyzed. We believe you can acknowledge something is absurd and still take it seriously—like going on a first date on Valentine’s Day, or realizing mid-story that the relationship is… not it. We’re not experts. We’re just honest. And we might tell you what your friends are too polite to say.
