Customer Reviews
Delightful
I love the intimacy and humor. Minnie is so real and I admire her openness. Also, great guests. This is my new go to gym podcast.
Lacks Diversity
I love the interviews and they are very wholesome for the most part. They are however centered around a liberal crowd. When she wants to get to what makes people tick. . .you get a lot of the “marginalized group” think from rich people who have been “oppressed”. While I may agree with some of it, I would love to hear from a more diverse crowd with people whose views on the world are from a wider perspective. I respect podcasters who have the courage to have people on whose views don’t align with their own. You will not find that here.
Love this podcast so much
Minnie Questions is the podcast I didn’t know I needed! These conversations are smart, soulful, intimate, funny, and thought provoking. There’s always at least one surprising nugget that stays with me. Minnie Driver is so articulate and smart — with such a great voice. Highly highly recommend.
