Minnie Questions with Minnie Driver

330

Minnie Driver questions everything... and her acclaim as an actor and musician is undoubtedly rooted in her enraptured observations of the world around her. Now, Minnie sits down with experts and trailblazers across disciplines and asks them the same seven mini questions, showing even small questions can uncover larger truths about happiness, failure, love, loss and belonging. 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.

    Joyful Show
    This podcast brings me such joy and happiness. Minnie is an amazing host and brings out the best stories and anecdotes from her guests. Also, her command of language is pure joyā€” Iā€™m always learning a new phrase or word. Just brilliant.

    A warm soul snug
    Minnie, thank you for doing this. Your voice alone brings calm to my soul. Your conversations with friends are warm and inviting, and make me feel that I am snug in my house, about to read a good book that will make a difference in my life. Please continue to let your curiosity and love drive you forward in life. It makes a difference for us all.

    Love this Show!
    The concept of this show is perfect! I love the questions Minnie has developed because they really breakthrough to the core of every person. I find myself pondering the questions for myself and using them in conversations. Thank you for bringing this podcast to life and I am hopeful new episodes will be coming in the future!
  • Lets go pick some apples
    No, thanks
    Finds too many ways to talk about herself and her issues.
  • Ddinden
    Minnie driver
    The way she interviews people makes you feel like she really honestly cares. Itā€™s rare to have a celebrity of her stature be so kind, loving and interesting. Please keep doing what your doing Minnie!
  • PAyscue
    Outstanding
    listening to Ms Driver for 30 minutes or more is elite entertainment. She needs a network talk/variety show
  • Hulahulaluv
    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 ā€œmarginalized groupā€ think from rich people who have been ā€œoppressedā€. 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 donā€™t align with their own. You will not find that here.

    Love this podcast so much
    Minnie Questions is the podcast I didnā€™t know I needed! These conversations are smart, soulful, intimate, funny, and thought provoking. Thereā€™s always at least one surprising nugget that stays with me. Minnie Driver is so articulate and smart ā€” with such a great voice. Highly highly recommend.
  • Woman who paints
    Always interesting
    I enjoy these lighthearted conversations that also go deep. And Minnie has a pleasant voice.
  • B3asy
    Annoying
    By far the most intrusive and annoying commercial that I have to slog through on the podcasts I actually enjoy. I wouldnā€™t listen to this if I got paid
  • joourney woman 1957
    Utterly delightful!
    Such an interesting mix of guests and itā€™s amazing how Minnie holds her own with them. Graceful, funny, articulate, she, and this pod are utterly delightful!
  • heartatthesky

  • Stasie Mc
    Light, deep and insightful
    Iā€™m loving this podcast. The conversations are light, but deep and insightful. Minnie is a great interviewer, and her intellect, ease and accent are delightful. The guests are fascinating.
  • communitynewspodcast
    Have always loved your movies.
    Enjoying your insights here. Would love if you would interview Paul and Sasha from the podcast Community News with Paul and Sasha and figure out who these elusive, mysterious cohosts really are. It's such a clever show and would love to hear you interview them about how they come up with the characters and the story lines in the fictional town they have created. Thanks
  • I am another Amy
    Great actor, not so great interviewer
    A little boring, same long add too many times. Not worthy, really
  • Dum Sim
    Terrific on many levels!
    First of all, Minnie is an A-level actor. More importantly, she is a well-developed human being who, through her own introspection and willingness to be open to what life throws at us all, is the perfect Human whisperer of the need to connectā€¦with humor. A+++ (shades of Christmas Story)

    Love
    Love Katie Nolanā€¦ Thnks
  • MeTessel
    Love listening to Minnie and her guests
    Thank you Minnie for a beautiful way to get to know people. Sometimes there are things I need to hear and sometimes it is just a great way to spend time with what feels like friends. And Minnieā€™s laugh is the best and always makes me either smile or laugh out loud.

    So many commercials so little substance
    Donā€™t waste your time with this one, itā€™s nothing but advertisements and self aggrandizing.
  • 5280norsk
    Sponsored by hate and other crap
    Full of commercials bc apparently MD canā€™t afford a microphone to do her podcast without loads of sponsors. She calls trash talking others ā€œhaving an opinionā€. So many other great podcast out there, minus the commercials/consumerism and negativity. Matt Demon knew better, unfortunately it took me awhile. And definitely donā€™t waste your time and money on her vacuous memoire.
  • chgrpads
    Fun
    Interesting guests. Fun to hear so many different answers to the same questions.
  • NikoHKK
    So insightful
    What an awesome idea this was to recreate the questionnaire and funnel it down to a few core ideas. Such warm, insightful, heartfelt and sometimes just awe inspiring conversations and people. Bravo.
  • SalukiMom
    So Much Fun
    Thank you Minnie for this lovely listen. I receive a takeaway from every episode. The Edith Eger Episode is on Repeat As Needed for me.
  • Brian & Beth's mom

    Too many adds
    How come so many adds, worse tan any othe podcast Apart from that its really good!
  • Baklava22
    Too many ads
    Content is good but Iā€™ve given up due to the number of ads.
  • SeriouslySnapeAlwaus
    Not enoughā€¦
    Content for the amount of adsā€”especially at the beginning. šŸ˜©
  • Boaty Mc Boatface
    Terrible
    Horrible commercials that I have to listen to with this insufferable person. Her actual podcast is worse. Just because youā€™re an actor and a musician doesnā€™t automatically mean that you have anything good to say. As evidenced here.
  • Peanut_Butter_Lover
    Could use more variety
    I love the idea of this podcast and itā€™s really well done. The only thing missing is more variety of disciplines. I would like to see more mathematicians, scientists, and technologists. Thereā€™s just too many people in the disciplines stereotyped as ā€œcreative.ā€
  • OOOMCat
    Highly Recommend
    One of the more thoughtful interviewers Iā€™ve heard on a podcast. Questions asked or not obvious and redundant to other interviews that we may have heard from a celebrity or such.
  • tunesy87
    Must Listen
    First of all Minnie has been such an infuential person in my life. I love her music, movies and now her posdcast. She has some really interesting conversations with some really interesting people. I can't wait for more episodes.

  • rdingo
    So many Ad breaks
    Iā€™d love to listen, but the amount & length of Ad breaks is unbearable.
  • Bearinpdx
    You and Henry
    I have always enjoyed you as an actress. (Sweet LorainešŸ˜‰) I love your show very thought provoking as well as full of sentiment. Iā€™ll be brief here. You have a amazing son. You had to do a few things right. šŸ˜‰ Matt Fellow Member of the too hard on yourself club.

    Excellent!
    Minnie Driverā€¦I LOVE your podcast! Your preselected question format, the way you interact with your guests, the intimacy you createā€¦ Look forward to Season 2 BTW I watched your Modern Love episode, and loved it. Be well and Be happyā€¦ā¤ļø
  • BKWcbc
    I like the conversations, but specifically...
    Ronan Farrow came off as smug and self-promotional. He didnā€™t answer the questions, but instead tried to show he is intellectually superior to Minnie. He didnā€™t succeed.
  • pilarventura30
    Henry !!!
    What an awesome young man ! Ms. Driver you get A+ on raising handsome Henry ! Love your podcast and all your guest have been fabulous.
  • SLC43
    LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast. Everyone should ask these questions of their loved ones
    Absolutely LOVE this podcast and it couldnā€™t be more welcome than during the pandemic. All of the interviews have been so interesting, but my absolute favorite so far is the one with Henry Driver. Minnie is a gracious and fantastic interviewer and Iā€™ve been inspired to ask these Minnie Questions to friends and family and Iā€™ve learned so much about them - things I never would have learned. THANK YOU to Minnie Driver for doing this podcast.
  • DebDoobie40
    Henry Driver
    I have to say this episode was so amazing and I believe the Minnie should record a follow up with Henry again in five years and then five after that. He will undoubtedly change his answers and also have a record of him and her forever, just in case one life changes. I love this podcast!
  • lanchaboat
    Loved the interview with Henry!
    What a fantastic interview with Henry! Such a smart & articulate young man! Great job Mama Minnie!ā¤ļøšŸŒˆ

    Henry Driver
    I loved, loved, loved listening to your son. He is wise behind his years. I love your relationship. Awesome job! šŸ˜Ž
  • pistachiokarma
    Wise Henry
    Henry was the best interview of all! It was delightful and thoughtful. Minnie is obviously a wonderful mom who is blessed with an intelligent and loving son. I prefer to hear what our youth have to say, above any adult ā€œcelebrity / artist ā€œ.
