On this week's 5 Random Questions, Bob LeDrew talks about why he'd be a great ambassador to welcome aliens, how slapstick shaped his outlook, a teenage event that changed his life, and much more.

Answering the questions this week: Bob LeDrew

Bob LeDrew is a recovering podcaster... and lots of other things. After a long career in the word game doing journalism, PR, and social media, he's now helping to manage a fair trade store and working on poetry and fiction projects. And he's known Danny Brown since before he was a rapper.
