ill-advised by Bill Nighy
Hosted by EYEPOD Studios · EN
A podcast for people who don’t get out much and can’t handle it when they do.
A refuge for the clumsy and the awkward.
Join Bill Nighy to squander some time as he attempts to answer your questions and dilemmas without actually making things worse.
If you have questions about anything – from choosing the right shirt to how to hide at parties, please send us a voice-note via Instagram @illadvisedbybillnighy
or you can email us contactus@ill-advisedbybillnighy.com
There will also be a recommended book and a ‘playlist of the week’ and given that Bill is making this up as he goes along, who knows what other features might develop.
He would further like to add that he knows you have busy lives and wants you to feel free to ignore this podcast
