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, recognizing excellence in global podcasting.
Launched in the summer of 2024, 5 Random Questions has quickly established itself as one of the fastest-growing independent shows on the scene. Within its first year, the podcast was recognized as a Top 5 Independent Podcast of 2024, signed to the Mercury Podcast Network in early 2025, and has already welcomed over 6,300 listeners worldwide.

“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 a huge honour – and a credit to the incredible guests and listeners who’ve made it what it is.”
