We're getting experimental for the next episode: It will be a Q&A, but instead of the usual "anything goes" vibe of these shows we are going to find out what happens when we tighten the focus of the inquiry down to one specific topic. You will vote for the topic of your choosing, then once a winner is decided the Platinum Posse will submit the questions. Let's have some fun experimenting, like college all over again. Here are your choices of topic:

Unfortunately by the last option I don’t think he means politics ….unless he does

Adam Dugger

I just want to hear him talk about movies or quality shows. And writing too.

John

Do the "Anything goes" Format, but also solicit advice questions. Maybe cordon off some time for those specific questions within the original format.

Richard MacManus

I'd happily hear an entire show about his writing theories and thoughts on other authors and books...so I guess I have to choose anarchy to get a chance at that :)

Brian Rooney

Cooking with Bret? Y’all are nuts if you don’t choose that one. Come on now. Remember the anecdotes about Bret cooking for friends and throwing parties!!! Come on now!

A B

All you dudes are f’n mental if you don’t want to hear his opinions on Erika Jayne, Bethenny, and Eboni K. Williams. Let’s gooooooo.

Emily B

Bret some of us are 24 year old women who want the dating advice anyway

Nikki Ferrari

The fact that you heifers all want the original format is pathetic.

Alexander Quattlander

Im okay with this idea but the topics are weak. Should have topics like the Tom Cruise pod. Or Kubrick. Or classic literature. Or celebrity encounters. Or fav tv shows.

Daniel

I need to know his favorite Housewives

Nikki Ferrari

Oh i deleted twitter last july. Hmm. Fuck it you can email me personally laur.grabowski@gmail I’m a dating and single life expert

J Sopp

Great choice on the Roadtrip photo. Film connoisseurs like myself rank it higher than Citizen Kane.

Michael Bronspigel

Now I know you're a Renaissance man, cooking is an art form.

Emily Bayer

Bret is a pro at writing about sex, so I imagine he might have some insights on the topic. Sex please.

Ashley

Doesn’t Bret always answer questions about anything and everything? Why is that even an option? 🧐 people just aren’t asking that interesting of questions

what happened to “All four seasons we taped long ago on Maple Drive will be available here on Patreon starting next week for your ears to behold. The first season (2013-14) will be accessible to ALL listeners subscribed to our GOLD and PLATINUM tiers.” -Feb2022

Shawn Adams

My favorite episodes are conversations around the creative process, the business, opinions/criticism. It's a great podcast. Thanks!

Holly GS

I need to know if he watches Vanderpump Rules

Clare O'Brien

Sad to see reality tv polling so terribly here. So much I’d love to hear from Bret on Bravo.

Patrick

Chaos as always please (and that means any of the the top 3 options will be answered in the 4th option). It’s not like he doesn’t answer every single question all of the time (even my dopey ones). 🥂

Katie

I'm pretty sure he does. A few years ago in an ama I asked him if one of his glamorama characters was like Sandoval and he said no and elaborated a bit.

Claire Ginocchio

from one claire to another (clare)... i agree wholeheartedly

Dave Carlson

Love the spontaneous nature of the current format.

Dave Carlson

bret is so candid and genuine it suits the show well

Alexander Quattlander

Why do you think we listen genius. And it would be diff because youd get a whole show instead of jumping round topics...
