2025 was a banner year for 5 Random Questions, and so I wanted to pause and say thank you.
In 2025, the show won Best Interview Podcast at the Ear Worthy Podcast Awards, was signed to the Mercury Podcast Network, featured by Apple Podcasts, made the Top 20 Podcasts on Apple, and was even written about in the local press. Every one of those moments felt a little surreal - and all of them happened because people like you kept showing up and sharing the show.
One number that was lovely to see: in 2025, 5 Random Questions welcomed over 5,000 new listeners. Not downloads - actual people who discovered the show, stuck around, and made it part of their routine.
So thank you to you, the listeners, who make the show part of your week, and thank you to the guests who said yes, trusted the format, and leaned into the unexpected. You’re the reason this show works.
Looking ahead to 2026, I’m excited about what’s next, including the very real possibility of live shows and more interactive ways to bring 5 Random Questions even closer to the audience.
Grateful for the year behind - energized for what’s ahead.
Here’s to an amazing 2026.
