Simple Questions Podcast

Simple Questions Podcast is a monthly interview podcast created and hosted by Dylan Carnahan. Each episode poses a single deceptively simple question — such as how to tell a good story or where the original cowboy boot came from — and puts it to a guest with deep expertise in a relevant field. The show's premise is that plain, everyday questions can open up rich, specialized knowledge when the right person answers them. The podcast has covered a deliberately wide range of topics, including behavioral economics, voice acting, law enforcement and the FBI, exonerees and reentry, memory techniques, Linux and open source, stop-motion animation, baking, speedcubing, mixed martial arts, Major League Eating, and entrepreneurship. Guests have included behavioral economist and New York Times bestselling author Dan Ariely; voice actor Billy West, known for Bugs Bunny, Futurama, and Ren & Stimpy; UFC contender Angela "Overkill" Hill; Major League Eating competitor George "The Smorgasbord" Chiger; entrepreneur and exoneree Dr. Marvin Cotton Jr.; five-time USA Memory Champion Nelson Dellis; retired FBI Section Chief Tom Nunemaker; New York Times bestselling authors Erin Jeanne McDowell and Susan Piver; and Emmy Award–winning stop-motion animators Alexis Deprey and Scott DaRos. Episodes are distributed through the show's website and major podcast platforms, with each episode page offering links to watch on YouTube and listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The show is independently produced and is not tied to a larger media conglomerate. Its branding is built around curiosity and accessibility: the title itself signals that no question is too basic, and the format keeps the focus on the guest's expertise rather than on the host's commentary. Because the podcast is a small, independent production, detailed corporate information such as a founding year, headquarters, or formal company structure is not publicly documented in the available sources. What is clear is that Dylan Carnahan is the creator, owner, and host, and that the show continues to release new episodes featuring expert guests.
