Danny Brown:

Hey there, Danny here with a quick bonus episode of 5 Random Questions.

I don't usually drop in between episodes, but this felt like one of these moments worth sharing. So, 5 Random Questions has just been named Best Interview Podcast at the twenty twenty-five Ear Worthy Podcast Awards, and that's still sinking in.

This little show started as a way to have curious conversations that didn't feel like your typical interview. Just me, a guest and five questions they don't see coming. That's it.

To have that recognized and in a category filled with so many incredible podcasters is kind of wild, especially given the show has only recently celebrated its first anniversary.

So I want to say a genuine thank you to you for listening, to the guests who've been game for the randomness, and to Ear Worthy Media for shining a light on indie shows like this. I'll keep this short because you know me, I'd rather save the tangents for when there's a guest in the chair.

But really, thanks for being part of this. Every download, listen, share, review, it all adds up and it means the world to me.

I'll be back soon with another round of unexpected questions and unfiltered answers, but until then, thank you and keep asking those questions.

About the Podcast

5 Random Questions
Unexpected questions. Unfiltered answers.
What do you get when you ask smart, curious people five completely random questions? You get real stories, weird tangents, and conversations they’ve never had before.

On the award-winning 5 Random Questions, host Danny Brown invites creators, entrepreneurs, and fascinating humans to skip the pitches and ditch the talking points - and just show up as themselves.

There’s no script. Just five surprising prompts dropped throughout a relaxed, unpredictable conversation. Think laughter, awkward hypotheticals, personal confessions, and the kind of answers that can only come from being caught completely off-guard.

Every guest also flips the mic and asks Danny a random question of their own - because fair’s fair.

If Hot Ones and WTF with Marc Maron had a podcast baby, this would be it - minus the hot sauce, but with all the spice.

New episodes weekly. Always real. Sometimes ridiculous. Never boring.
