That's a Wrap on Season 4, and When to Expect Season 5

Speaker: 00:00:01

Hey there, Danny here, and welcome to this bonus episode of 5 Random Questions.

Speaker: 00:00:06

Season 4 has officially wrapped, and before we take a short breather before

Speaker: 00:00:10

Season 5 kicks off, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you,

Speaker: 00:00:14

to our guests, and to everyone who's made this season such a blast.

Speaker: 00:00:18

Let's start with some highlights, because honestly, it's been a pretty special one.

Speaker: 00:00:22

This season, 5 Random Questions took home the Best Interview Podcast Award at

Speaker: 00:00:26

the 2025 earworthy podcast awards, which still blows my mind to say out loud.

Speaker: 00:00:31

To everyone who's listened, shared the show, or taken a chance on it,

Speaker: 00:00:35

thank you. That recognition doesn't happen without you.

Speaker: 00:00:38

The show is also featured in the local news, which was kind of surreal, but in a good way.

Speaker: 00:00:43

It's one thing to see your show on a podcast app, but it's another to see your

Speaker: 00:00:46

face in print, with a headline that doesn't include local man arrested for asking

Speaker: 00:00:50

too many weird questions.

Speaker: 00:00:52

So yeah, big milestone moment there. And, to top it off, this season saw 700

Speaker: 00:00:57

new listeners add 5 random questions to their listening library.

Speaker: 00:01:00

That's 700 new, curious, creative humans who decided to make this show part of their week.

Speaker: 00:01:05

And I can't thank you enough for that. Welcome to the chaos, friends.

Speaker: 00:01:10

Another big step this season was the launch of the 5 random questions Patreon.

Speaker: 00:01:14

It's been amazing to see the community start to grow there, with early access,

Speaker: 00:01:18

behind-the-scenes bits, the chance to help shape what future seasons look like, and much more.

Speaker: 00:01:23

If you're a patron, thank you for supporting indie creativity and helping this

Speaker: 00:01:28

show keep doing what it does best, asking the kind of questions the guests have never faced before.

Speaker: 00:01:33

Of course, none of this happens without the incredible guests who joined me this season.

Speaker: 00:01:37

From creators and storytellers to thinkers and doers, each one brought their

Speaker: 00:01:41

own brand of honesty, humour and sometimes absolute chaos to the mic.

Speaker: 00:01:45

It's been one of my favourite lineups yet, and I'm genuinely grateful to every

Speaker: 00:01:49

guest who said yes to being asked five completely unpredictable questions.

Speaker: 00:01:54

And I've got to give a huge shout out to the Mercury Podcast Network.

Speaker: 00:01:57

They've been champions of the show since becoming part of the network in May,

Speaker: 00:02:01

and their ongoing support means the world.

Speaker: 00:02:03

It's a huge part of how this little, curiosity-fuelled project keeps growing.

Speaker: 00:02:08

But most importantly, to you, the listener, thank you.

Speaker: 00:02:12

Thank you for tuning in each week, for sharing episodes with your friends,

Speaker: 00:02:16

and for sending messages about which question made you laugh or which answer caught you off guard.

Speaker: 00:02:21

You make five random questions what it is. A space for unexpected conversations,

Speaker: 00:02:26

unfiltered answers, and just a little bit of mischief along the way.

Speaker: 00:02:29

Season 5 is coming your way this December and I can't wait to share what's next

Speaker: 00:02:33

We've got more fantastic guests lined up some surprise themes and maybe,

Speaker: 00:02:38

just maybe, a few video episodes thrown into the mix Maybe,

Speaker: 00:02:42

Plus for Patreon members there'll be some fun live recordings planned and exclusive

Speaker: 00:02:47

extras that I think you're really going to enjoy,

Speaker: 00:02:49
