The ‘ROAD 10’ is a bonus segment featuring a curated set of 10 questions inspired by the ‘Proust Questionnaire.’ These consistent, reflective, and often revealing questions are asked to every guest at the end of their appearance on the Road Podcast (Reflections of a DJ). True to its name, the ‘ROAD 10’ offers a unique glimpse into each guest’s personality, values, and preferences, blending humor, introspection, and candid moments. Originally exclusive to Road Podcast Patreon subscribers, these interviews are now available on YouTube after a one-month debut on Patreon. The ‘ROAD 10’ is designed to offer viewers a memorable and intimate connection with each guest.
