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.
