One Simple Question: Recent Episodes
Abhishek Lahoti
It’s easy to have a basic conversation with someone. About whatever is easiest to talk about at that moment. Sometimes you’ll find that the person you’re speaking to has an incredible story, a secret they’ve never really shared broadly, or just something you’d never heard. Suddenly they’ve spent 20min regaling you with the tale and all you can do is wonder how amazing it was to hear. This show is an endeavour to capture those moments.
