ill-advised by Bill Nighy · He Showers In The Dark · 21 May 2026 podcast

You were born into a society which spelled out with brutal clarity and in as many ways as possible that you were a worthless human being.

You were not expected to aspire to excellence.

You were expected to make peace with mediocrity.

Wherever you have turned, James, in your short time on this earth, you have been told where you could go and what you could do and how you could do it and where you could live and whom you could marry.

I know your countrymen do not agree with me about this, and I hear them saying, you exaggerate.

They do not know Harlem, and I do.

So do you.

Take no one's word for anything, including mine, but trust your experience.

Know whence you came.

If you know whence you came, there is really no limit to where you can go.

The details and symbols of your life have been deliberately constructed to make you believe what white people say about you.

Please try to remember that what they believe, as well as what they do and cause you to endure, does not testify to your inferiority, but to their inhumanity and fear.

So there you go.

That's about the size of it, though I say so myself.

And we are now at the end of season two, Who Knew?

We are going to have a kind of competition where it's more like a raffle and we're going to put names into a hat and the winner or the winners will receive a copy of

of one of the books that I recommended over the two seasons, and it will be personally signed for them.

So that's something you could get involved in if you wish.

That'll all be in what we like to call the back room on our subscriber channel on Patreon.

There will be exclusive bonus content, new features and early access to new episodes, merchandise and events.
