Summary
Coming November 12, The Questlove Show builds on the award-winning Questlove Supreme podcast, bringing listeners into intimate, one-on-one conversations with peers, influences, and friends. Hosted by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, each episode uncovers the unexpected — from morning rituals and hidden talents to the art and experiences that shaped a guest’s journey. Sometimes playful, sometimes profound, always curious, QLS offers rare insight into leaders in music, film, television, comedy, literature, mental health, and beyond. It’s a fresh, unpredictable spin from a trusted source — a place where randomness is encouraged, tangents are welcomed, and conversations are anything but ordinary.

| 0:47.3 | In recent years, I started doing interviews this way. |
| 0:51.3 | And it allowed me to get to know people I always wanted to know and see in a |
| 0:56.1 | different light. So at its core, QLS has, and will always be driven by this nerdy curiosity |
| 1:02.8 | and a passion for uncovering the makeup and journey of the people I sit down with. And of course, yes, |
| 1:09.6 | there will still be rabbit holes and tangents |

| 1:18.8 | But just like with my music, I like to mix it up a bit. So you heard it here first. We are |
| 1:24.9 | officially back starting this week and coming to you every Wednesday. |
| 1:30.2 | New conversations are on the way with some incredible guests like journalist-term filmmaker Cameron Crow. |
| 1:36.4 | It's like the Barry Gordy thing. |
| 1:38.1 | You know, if you send me a letter and it's B-A-R-R-R-Y, you didn't take the time to know how my name was spelled, and I can't take the time |
