This week's Five Random Questions is a blend of light-hearted banter and profound life lessons as Dave Campbell opens up about his journey as a podcaster and musician. Dave reflects on the significance of community and connection, both in his personal life and through his various podcasts.

He also touches upon the impact of social media on relationships and the importance of engaging in open, respectful conversations that bridge divides, encouraging listeners to embrace diverse perspectives and foster genuine connections.

Answering the questions this week: David Campbell

Dave is from Ontario Canada. He has been chased by a Moose, been in 3 tornadoes, heard himself on the radio, Dave wonders why people love puzzles, and he can’t swim. Dave is fairly sarcastic and his wit makes him slightly dizzy at times. His wife does find Dave mildly entertaining (in small amounts and from a safe distance). Dave is the host of 8 different podcasts, and over the past 5 years Dave has created content, community and stories - speaking with guests from around the world - everyone has a story! Dave pursues curiosity and coffee in the search for creative people and stories. Dave is an empty nest Dad with 3 adult children. Dave loves his rescued animals, Dave has been an active musician for over 45 years and he has more stories than what can fit into a standard podcast recording. Dave operates True Media Solutions and supports podcasters by handling podcast editing, growth and promotion. https://truemediasolutions.ca/

Join your host Danny Brown as he puts this week's 5 random questions to Frank Racioppi. Answers include a naked neighbour, a special use for lotion, and a life in one word. Let's jump in!

Answering the questions this week: Frank Racioppi

After 38 years as a speechwriter and editor for a Fortune 50 company, I retired and indulged my love of podcasting, starting and managing a successful podcast review online publication -- Ear Worthy. I started it in 2017 and have enjoyed connecting with indie podcasters and anyone who supports podcasting. My brother Paul and I had a podcast four years ago called False Facts, but it was difficult to keep a regular recording schedule. I loved writing my entire life and wrote for print magazines in the 80s from New Jersey Monthly, The Pet Dealer, American Health, The Sewing Circle, etc. I've also published five novels and four nonfiction books in the last four years. The novels range from a romance about two people bonding over the love of reading called For The Love Of Books to Least Best Employee, a novel about surviving as middle management in Corporate America. My most popular nonfiction book was called The COVID Hotel.
