5 Great Questions

This is a podcast of great questions.
Have you noticed that you don’t get asked really interesting questions?
What time will you be home?
Is Lucy’s sniffle serious?
Did you know your father fell again?
Can you resend me that meme?
These questions are necessary, but they’re not interesting.
I started a book a few years ago, collecting some of the best answers, but I put it down and never finished.
I realized recently that the joy of people’s answers was in hearing them, so here we are.
Each week I’ll ask my guest a great question, maybe two, and you’ll hear their answer. Some may be short, some long, but they’ll be honest. They’ll be real.
Real Topeka real.
As you’re listening you may have a good answer yourself and want to be on the show. If that happens you can contact me at alden5@spreaker.com
For now, let’s get started.
