Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it’s the very thing that animates Minnie Questions with Minnie Driver. Here, the acclaimed actor and musician channels a lifetime of keen observation into a simple, compelling format. In each conversation, Minnie sits down with a fascinating guest-experts, artists, and trailblazers from the worlds of film, television, arts, and culture-and poses the same seven deceptively simple questions. The magic of this iHeartPodcasts production isn't in grand interrogations, but in how these consistent, mini inquiries act as a key, unlocking surprisingly profound territory. Listeners are brought into intimate dialogues that spiral out from the specific to the universal, touching on the raw materials of a life: love, loss, failure, belonging, and the pursuit of happiness. By applying her same thoughtful lens to a diverse range of voices, Minnie creates a unique space where small curiosities reveal larger human truths. Tune in for a podcast that feels less like an interview and more like eavesdropping on a wonderful, meandering conversation between two curious minds, always circling back to that central wonder: how are we all navigating this strange, beautiful world?
