| 0:38.3 | Oh, sorry, that is... Don't worry, I love the sirens. It's New York. Well, I'm very happy that you're here answering these questions, because you're a player. Thanks. I'm happy to be asked. We're both sounding very dulcet. I know. Did you notice that? So good. Oh, I'm being soothed, because I haven't had a very soothing morning and you're right there. Good. I'm so glad. It's also the microphone. It's a really good mic. Oh, yeah, I love it. But I've got a voice for radio. You've got a voice for radio and a bod percent. No, I've also got a body for radio as well. Okay, here we are. |
| 0:49.5 | Hello, I'm Minnie Driver. Welcome to Mini Questions Season 2. I've always loved Proust's questionnaire. It was originally an 19th century parlor game where players would ask each other 35 questions |
| 0:56.5 | aimed at revealing the other player's true nature. It's just the scientific method, really. |
| 1:03.0 | In asking different people the same set of questions, you can make observations about which |

| 1:32.1 | They are. |
| 1:33.0 | When and where were you happiest? |
| 1:34.7 | What is the quality you like least about yourself? |
| 1:37.4 | What relationship real or fictionalized defines love for you? |
| 1:41.3 | What question would you most like answered? |
| 1:43.9 | What person, place or experience has |
| 1:46.2 | shaped you the most? What would be your last meal? And can you tell me something in your life that's |
| 1:51.6 | grown out of a personal disaster? And I've gathered a group of really remarkable people, |
| 1:58.4 | ones that I am honoured and humbled to have had the chance to engage |
| 2:01.9 | with. You may not hear their answers to all seven of these questions. We've whittled it down |
