What listeners will find here
Bill Nighy drifts from sleep and birds to Bovril, Paris, and a handpicked soundtrack
Sleeping habits, birds, Bovril, and the perfect day in Paris set the agenda for this wide-ranging episode. It also comes with a playlist that jumps from Hendrix and the Stones to Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, James Brown, and The Pogues.
Bill Nighy tackles pavement etiquette, singing, and the mystery of sax solos
Pavement etiquette, singing, and saxophone solos are the jumping-off points for this episode, as Bill fields a trio of offbeat questions. It also comes with a characteristically eclectic playlist and a literary pick: The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
Bill Nighy fields life’s odd little dilemmas, from wristwatches to quitting smoking
Wristwatches, cat flaps, birthdays and how to stop smoking set the agenda for this episode of Bill’s advice-giving wander. It also includes a book reading with notably strong language and a playlist that leans wistful, warm and slightly dreamy.
Bill Nighy tackles dreams, diaries, caps, and a brand-new feature
Dreams, diaries, and baseball caps set the agenda as Bill returns to answer listener questions. The episode also launches the first installment of 'According To Your Grandmother' and pairs the conversation with a characterful playlist and a featured book.
Bill Nighy tackles compliments, unfinished books, and other gloriously odd dilemmas
Compliments, quitting books, flesh-coloured clothing, and sausage size all get an airing in this episode. It sounds like a loose, witty mix of everyday anxieties and eccentric observations, with a curated playlist and a book recommendation rounding things out.
