In interviewing a range of characters, Minnie questions... how are we the same? How are we different? How do we become who we are? Minnie questions... because it is the questions we ask that help us understand the world around us, and ourselves.

Customer Reviews
Love it but the ads kill me
Love the show, the guests, the hosts and I love the questions but there are too many ads. I love a lot of the podcasts from this channel -Hillary Clinton has one too- but there are too many long ad breaks…I don’t mind one at the beginning or end or I don’t mind if it’s in the middle but there is an ad after each question - v annoying when you’re walking or running. Also need to explain we can’t even buy most of the stuff that is advertised- I’m in Europe.
