About this listen

 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 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. - Recognized as one of the Five Best Independent Podcasts of 2024 by Ear Worthy Media - Part of the Mercury Podcast Network - for more Mercury podcasts, head to www.mercurypodcasts.com This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacyCopyright 2024-present, Danny Brown Politics & Government Social Sciences
