How to be Curious

ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗

How to Be Curious is a podcast about what happens when you lean into life’s questions instead of dodging them. Hosted by Alan Rose, whose own year of fifty curiosity fuelled challenges became a book, this series dives into the minds of people who’ve said yes — to big adventures, bold experiments, and surprising new chapters.

From Channel swimmers in their seventies to people who’ve changed careers, countries, or long held beliefs, each guest offers a different answer to the same question:
What might happen if you just got curious?

Whether you're looking for inspiration, insight, or just a nudge out of your rut, these stories will make you think differently — about courage, ageing, growth, and what’s still possible.
