My name is Nick Viall and I host The Viall Files, a podcast that one anonymous reviewer called “surprisingly insightful and substantive.”
The Viall Files explores all things dating and love - from post-breakup healing to salacious texts - in our three (and sometimes four) weekly episodes.
Ask Nick - Every Monday, listeners navigating a challenging yet relatable interpersonal circumstance--from a 2 year situationship to a blowout fight with their mom to a friendship feud to reigniting intimacy after 10 years of marriage--call in for Nick's signature blunt yet compassionate advice. It's ripe with the type of hard truths your friends are too afraid to say, but you're better off for hearing.
Bachelor Recap - We break down this week's episode of the Bachelor, Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise on Tuesdays. This color commentary is full of hot takes, debates, jokes, and the insider knowledge only a former Bachelor can provide. Nick, Ali and Amanda are joined by special celebrity guests--you'd be surprised how many of your favorite actors and comedians are closet bachelor fans.
Freestyle - On Tuesday during the Bachelor "off-season," we dive into the hot-button, zeitgeist topics--the latest celebrity drama, trending reality tv shows, new love song/music video that everyone's obsessed with, and occasionally a months-long highly publicized defamation trial between divorced A-list actors. Our lively discussions include takeaways we can all relate to.
We also have "Texting Office Hours," a segment where we help a caller craft, edit, and press the send button on a nerve-wracking message.
Going Deeper - Every Thursday, a special guest joins the show for a tell-all interview and to discuss their latest project, their philosophies on love and relationships, plus the most relevant pop culture topics. These episodes conclude with our beloved "Texting Office Hours " segment where Nick, the guest, and our co-hosts team up to give advice to a listener on a message they need help writing.
The Update Show - The last Friday of the month, by popular demand (and we mean POPULAR) cliffhangers are resolved and burning questions are answered with updates from our most engaging callers. These much-anticipated follow-ups reveal if the caller took Nick's advice and how everything transpired, providing much-needed resolution to the callers' stories that stole our hearts and attention.

Customer Reviews
Love
I listen every week and it’s my favorite podcast. I’m just getting a little annoyed with Natalie. Very immature and constantly making snarky comments to Nick..while he is so respectful and clearly adores her. Natalie, you’re not funny..grow up🤷🏻♀️
The pull out method
A man who uses the pull out method as contraception should NOT be giving dating or family planning advice. Just no. The ad reads are horrendous and I echo that the pod would be for from getting rid of at least the baby voices and at least a few of the co hosts. Couple podcasts are so tiresome
Not into reality tv but enjoy the household!
Reading the reviews I can agree with some negative comments- Nick interrupts people, he sounds condescending towards some callers, the household members don’t contribute enough to conversation, etc.
However, I think Nick has very high emotional intelligence and often gives great advice to the ask Nick callers. I don’t watch any of the reality shows they reference/recap (except LIB) but I still listen to the household chat before their guest or RR starts. My recommendation, for what it’s worth, would be to continue to build the household dynamic to improve the quality of the episodes.
