Unquestionable Podcast
Two British creatives interview authors, experts, and thought leaders about mental health, psychology, and navigating the pressures of modern life.
A British podcast that alternates between two distinct formats: long-form interviews with authors and experts (like Johann Hari and John Edward) and shorter, more intimate conversations between the two hosts. Both formats tackle themes of mental health, societal pressure, and self-development, but the interviews focus on an expert's thesis while the co-host chats explore the topics from a personal, everyday perspective.
“The show's unique blend of deep-dive expert interviews and candid, personal co-host chats on the same set of themes is a key differentiator. The hosts' backgrounds in the creative arts, rather than journalism or science, lend a different, often more empathetic, lens to their questioning.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The hosts begin interviews with a broad, welcoming question about the guest's origin story to establish their background and credibility. They build rapport by sharing their own personal connections to the topic, such as being a parent or former teacher. Questions are generally thematic and open-ended (e.g., "Why are we so disconnected?"), allowing guests to deliver long, narrative answers from their area of expertise. The style is a supportive conversation aimed at exploring the guest's ideas, rather than a critical interrogation designed to challenge them.
The show is hosted by a male (Giles) and female (Sophie) duo. Interview episodes are warm and open-ended, designed to let guests speak at length. Other episodes feature just the two hosts in a casual, relatable discussion about a specific feeling or societal pressure, like feeling 'behind in life'.
