Holly Morris Launches “Lousy Advice” – A Comedy Podcast About Life’s Worst Advice
Comedian and digital creator Holly Morris has entered the world of podcasting with her new show Lousy Advice, a weekly audio series designed to dismantle bad life tips with humour, personal storytelling, and zero pressure for self-improvement.
In an era where social media is flooded with motivational quotes, hustle culture hacks, and “perfect life” reels, Lousy Advice offers a refreshing counterpoint: embracing the chaos instead of fixing it.
The Concept: Turning Bad Advice into Comedy Gold
Unlike traditional podcasts that promise transformation, productivity boosts, or mindfulness breakthroughs, Lousy Advice openly rejects the idea of becoming a “better you.”
Tagline:“The anti-self-help podcast for people tired of pretending they’ve got it together.”
Hosts: Holly Morris & Rory (her boyfriend and creative collaborator)
Release Schedule: New episodes every Wednesday on all major podcast platforms
The show’s premise revolves around dissecting the well-meaning but ultimately impractical advice often given to people in their 20s and 30s — from unachievable life hacks to unrealistic Instagram-worthy goals.
Meet the Hosts: Holly & Rory
Holly Morris has cultivated a dedicated following across TikTok and Instagram, where her comedic sketches explore adulthood, neurodiversity, and the absurd side of everyday living.
Holly’s Digital Footprint:
Millions of views on short-form comedy videos
Notable for authenticity and relatability
Advocates for embracing imperfections
Her co-host, Rory, is both her partner in life and in content creation — a man Holly once convinced to quit his job to join her creative ventures.
A Podcast Born from Real-Life Chaos
The creative partnership between Holly and Rory is the backbone of Lousy Advice. Their relationship dynamic — part romantic comedy, part working duo — fuels the show’s natural banter.
Each episode blends:
Storytelling – amusing accounts of personal misadventures
Unfiltered Opinions – rants about unrealistic societal expectations
Absurd Mini-Segments – from “big pants” to “little lies”
Zero Pressure – listeners are never told to “improve themselves”
The Rise of the Anti-Self-Help Movement
Over the last decade, the self-help industry has exploded into a multibillion-dollar market. But as much as people crave guidance, there’s been growing fatigue with relentless optimization culture.
Podcasts like Lousy Advice tap into a growing audience segment that values:
Humour over hustle
Acceptance over aspiration
Community over competition
Industry analysts note that comedic “real talk” podcasts are steadily climbing podcast charts, driven by millennials and Gen Z listeners who appreciate authenticity over polish.
Listener Appeal & Early Reception
Since its launch on 7 August 2025, Lousy Advice has generated buzz across social media platforms. Fans praise the show for:
Making them laugh without feeling lectured
Offering a break from heavy, self-improvement-driven content
Feeling like a chat with friends rather than a lecture
Holly’s Statement on the Podcast
Speaking about her vision, Holly said:
“We’re not here to sell you a better life. We want to help you love the one you’ve already got — messy, unpredictable, and all.”
The Broader Podcast Landscape in 2025
According to Podcast Insights 2025, the global podcast audience has surpassed 640 million monthly listeners. Comedic lifestyle shows are among the fastest-growing segments, particularly those that merge entertainment with relatable everyday topics.
What’s Next for “Lousy Advice”
While the debut season will focus on weekly episodes covering common “life tips” gone wrong, Holly hints at future plans:
Live audience recordings in UK comedy venues
Collaborations with other online creators
Special themed episodes based on listener-submitted advice
