People Inspiring People, a podcast which uses questions from Proust's questionnaire to gain an insight into ordinary, yet extraordinary and inspiring people who I, Pip, have met and will meet in the future.
The Podcast was inspired by Minnie Driver in her Podcast "Minnie Questions". I wanted to use a similar format to interview people who are inspirational but not famous. Later episodes will use random Proust questions as conversation starters, instead of Minnie's 7 as I began, to allow more variety and to give interviewees a level of control.

Welcome to People Inspiring People, a podcast which uses questions from Proust's questionnaire to gain an insight into ordinary, yet extraordinary and inspiring people who I, Pip, have met and will meet in the future.
This first few episodes will use the same 7 questions picked out by Minnie Driver in her Podcast Minnie Questions. Later episodes go on to use random Proust questions as conversation starters, to allow more variety and to give interviewees a level of control.
