Minnie Questions with Minnie Driver

In this episode Mike and Eric review the podcast "Minnie Questions" hosted by actor Minnie Driver. Conceived in 2021, it is now in its second season. In this podcast, Minnie poses the same seven questions to each guest based on the famous Proust Questionnaire, a set of questions answered by the French writer Marcel Proust. Should you attempt a podcast where you ask the same question of each guest? Can you venture "off script"? Can this last? If the guest knows the questions ahead of time, does this reduce the spontaneity of the interview? These questions and more are discussed in this fun podcast whose host shows her wit, charm and intelligence while talking to politicians, entertainers, writers and journalists.

For this review we will focus on her May 19, 2021 episode where she talks to Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the UK and current Executive Chairman of the Institute for Global Change.
