{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Question of the Day","slug":"questionoftheday208","podcastDescription":"

I got tired of surface-level conversations. The polite nods. The “I’m good, how are you?” autopilot.

So I started asking one real question a day to everyone I met — co-workers, strangers, cashiers, anyone willing to play along. And something unexpected happened: people opened up. Even for thirty seconds, they wanted to be heard.

Question of the Day is your daily pause to do exactly that. One honest question. One honest answer. Some questions are serious, some are ridiculous, some are completely unhinged. I answer every day unfiltered (warning: occasionally a little rough language).

Send me your answer if you want — I read every single one. Because the more we talk like actual humans, the less alone we all feel.

Small questions, big truth, shared connection. That’s the show.
