Def prefer the episodes with Shanthi, rather than Romesh’s celeb interviews. They are much funnier, informal and more light hearted.

I started off listening to the podcast and loved it; I then realised I could watch it on Spotify - even better! Great guests, great questions, always a great laugh. What’s not to love? I feel like I’m among friends. Keep it coming - I absolutely love the show 🥰

I’ve loved all episodes that I’ve listened to, but the latest was intolerable. I didn’t even finish it. It’s immensely boring just listening to semi-famous guys talking about being semi-famous. Getting stopped for photos, how you once had normal jobs blah blah etc. Not exactly relatable. I’ll keep listening though.

Too many ads and the same ads repeated. Infuriating and dull.

Absolutely loved watching and listening Romesh Ranganathan and his wonderful mum Shanthi together. What a joyful, funny and genuinely heartwarming duo. Their conversations flow so naturally - full of humour, honesty, warmth and those little family moments everyone can relate to. Romesh is such a skilled interviewer too; curious, intelligent and able to make people feel completely at ease, which leads to such interesting and meaningful conversations. But it’s the relationship between him and Shanthi that really shines - hilarious one moment and deeply touching the next. Pure comfort viewing/listening with so much heart. ❤️

Ben and the crew have literally the best job in the world! It makes me laugh so much when they laugh… keep up the amazing work and send shanti a big hello from me! She is fantastic xx

I love this podcast but the interview with Miriam was just the best and made my year! The only thing missing was Shanti - imagine the hilarity of her and Miriam in a room together. Ramesh - make it happen!!!

Great, exactly what’s needed, another podcast churning through the same old guests with same old format. How about you do a true crime one next, not many of them either.

I love this podcast, it’s funny and entertaining but I struggle a bit with the Sunday brunch style laughter and crowd in the background. It’s annoying and distracting to me, but this may very be a me problem!

Thanks for everything you both do. My white husband understands my mum so much better after listening to you & your mum 🤣. He also understands our complex culture so much better. So thanks to adding humour to it all. Please do more impersonations of your mum, they are so great.

Great guests, funny chat and the chemistry’s with Shanti is special. Felt that the response to negative feedback all felt a bit entitled and petulant . You are so much better than that Romesh !

Feel like we need a Ranganathan only show every few weeks,the way shanti talks to Dinesh compared to Romesh is hilarious 😆 oh shut up Romesh
Bisonn99 · GB
Funny guy, let himself down equivocating about whether or not Jordan Peterson was ok or not. How much of his audience does he need to tip toe around on this subject? Let’s steer clear of Gaza, Iran, Zionism, apartheid and genocide too and that way we wont upset the apple cart. He was great in Last one laughing, although and he was cheated out of winning by Jimmy (another comedian sitting on the fence)

As the title implies, I was highly amused.

This truly is the BEST podcast out there on every level. Utterly hilarious. Has me laughing out loud on every episode. A must listen to! From the guest episodes on a Monday to Romesh (“Shut up Romesh”) and Shanti episodes on Thursdays this show brings the greatest joy! Thank you both!
