This Isn't Just Another Interview Show

Hey there, I'm Danny Brown, and welcome to 5 Random Questions! If you love spontaneous conversations, unexpected laughs, and a bit of heartfelt wisdom, then this is the show for you.

Each week I sit down with my special guest and ask them five completely random questions generated on the spot by my random question generator. The guest has no idea what the questions will be, and neither do I. No topic is off-limits, and you never know where the conversation will take us!

Expect a mix of humour, unexpected wisdom, and a whole lot of fun as we dive into answers that can range from the utterly hilarious to the surprisingly profound. But that’s not all! At the end of each episode, my guests get to turn the tables and ask me any random question they like to give me a taste of my own medicine.

So, if you're looking for a good laugh, honest conversations, or just an entertaining chat, join me every Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Don’t forget to follow, and maybe even leave a review – I’d love to hear your thoughts! 

I'm looking forward to welcoming you to 5 Random Questions, where every question is an adventure. See you there!

Transcript
Danny Brown:

What happens when you ask creative people the kind of questions they never get asked? Because when you skip the predictable stuff, you get conversations that are raw, ridiculous and real.

Max Kurton:

And then I have this gerbil dog thing to look after for the rest of the trip.

Evo Terra:

We were called.

Evo Terra:

Spaz Kitty.

Lauren Pasell:

If you don't enjoy shower belly, you're not going to like me.

Danny Brown:

Welcome to 5 Random Questions, the show where every conversation takes a left turn. From podcasters and entrepreneurs to writers, makers and curious humans, every guest gets five random questions that take them somewhere they didn't expect.

Arielle Nissenblatt:

I don't know, maybe that's also like reincarnation to an extent, but either way, wedgie somebody in the Roman Empire is for me.

Gini Dietrich:

We live in the city and there are always dead rats in the alley. I might swap for that. That's how much I hate laundry.

Neal Veglio:

That's not an exaggeration. That is exactly what it is like being with, living with, or even conversing with an angry Latina woman.

Danny Brown:

It's part comedy, part curiosity. And honesty tends to crash the party, because sometimes the best conversations start with the questions you never saw coming.

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.
