Like all of us, she's spent her twenties & early thirties being bombarded with lousy advice in all forms, from 30 second TikToks of self-appointed life coaches about how breathwork cured their athletes foot, friends-of-friends in the pub that SWEAR their sister's cousin's big toe managed to get their ex back through reiki, magazine's that have told her if she just got her calves to be 2cm smaller she'd definitely end up getting inundated with roses on Hinge. So assisted by her tiny intern Rory, Holly will be coming live from Lousy Digest HQ. A magazine that discusses the things that really don't matter, and makes a bit of a meal of it. If you're looking for pearls of wisdom or have some unusual/ interesting/ down right awful advice of your own, let us know at thatslousyadvice@gmail.com Thanks for listening and PLEASE don't forget to follow us so you never miss an episode! (And so I can move Rory to a paid intern role) Bye babe xx","last_synced_at":"2026-07-04T00:19:23.227260+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159"},"episode":{"title":"F*** Up Friday: I Got Ghosted & Forgetting Colleagues’ Name","slug":"f-up-friday-i-got-ghosted-forgetting-colleagues-name","published_at":"2026-06-26T03:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159/f-up-friday-i-got-ghosted-forgetting-colleagues-name","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lousy-advice-7430159","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NSR2365625557.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NSR2365625557.mp3","summary":"Join Holly and Rory in this candid and humorous episode of Fudge Up Friday, where they share personal stories, workplace mishaps, and relatable relationship insights.
