Toronto, Canada — August 26, 2025 — 5 Random Questions, the unpredictable interview podcast where “unexpected questions lead to unfiltered answers,” has been named Best Interview Podcast at the 2025 Ear Worthy Podcast Awards, a global celebration of excellence in podcasting.
Launched in summer 2024, 5 Random Questions has quickly carved out a place as one of the fastest-rising independent shows. In just its first year, it was recognized as a Top 5 Independent Podcast of 2024, signed with the Mercury Podcast Network in early 2025, and has already reached 6,300 listeners worldwide.
Hosted by Danny Brown, the podcast flips the traditional interview format by asking each guest five completely random questions. The result: candid, surprising conversations that reveal sides of people rarely heard elsewhere. Previous guests include leading voices across media, podcasting, and creative industries.
“This award means the world to me,” said host Danny Brown. “When I launched 5 Random Questions, I just wanted to create a space where conversations felt fresh, human, and surprising. To have the show recognized among some of the best in the industry is an incredible honour — and a credit to the guests and listeners who’ve made it what it is.”
Now in its fourth year, the Ear Worthy Awards highlight standout podcasts across multiple categories, judged by a panel of respected creators and industry professionals. Winning Best Interview Podcast puts 5 Random Questions in the company of some of the most celebrated shows in the medium.
Looking ahead, Brown teases even more: “We’ve got some incredible guests lined up for the next season, and I can’t wait for listeners to hear the new directions these conversations will take.”
5 Random Questions is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and all major podcast platforms.
