The Art of Asking Everything sees Palmer chat to people from all corners of society.
Amanda Palmer has just launched her new weekly podcast The Art of Asking Everything, which takes its inspiration from her hugely-popular book and TED Talk.
On The Art of Asking Everything, the musician, author, TED speaker and community leader welcomes guests from all corners of life, picking the brains of everyone from porn stars, climate scientists, cartoonists and beyond. Throughout the series, Palmer uncovers fascinating findings from intriguing figures wired differently to the acclaimed artistic chameleon.
Notable guests of the pod include Tim Minchin, Laura Jane Grace, KT Tunstall, Clare Bowditch, Lenny Henry, Tim Ferriss, Nadya Tolokonnikova (Pussy Riot), Susan Cain and Tim Flannery.
“When I began recording these conversations, I realised that I’d accidentally created what I’ve always yearned for: an excuse to randomly call up really creative and compassionate people, dispense with the superficial chat, and get to the core heart-to-heart discussion about what’s important in this life,” Palmer says.
With no corporate sponsors the podcast is 100% fan supported – exclusive content is only available for Patrons who join her community. For episode one, Palmer is be joined by revered author and community leader Elizabeth Lesser.
