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

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!

The guest episodes are generally very good but the Shanti episodes are priceless. My mum died many years ago but as I listen to Rommy dissing his mum i picture it as me and my mother. She’d have been outraged but have given back as much as she got.

They are both effortlessly funny. I didn’t want it to end. Thank you for making my cleaning less laborious

It’s good, I like his mum’s contribution but his other pod is better / more spontaneous

No other podcast has made me laugh as much as this one. Romesh and the team are so skilled at making his guests feel comfortable whilst managing to bring out the absolute best in them. The questions are often thought provoking and clearly well researched, and yet can also descend into complete comedy gold at a moments notice. Romesh’s laughter is contagious. The recent Louis Theroux ep ended with perhaps the funniest 5 minutes of a podcast I have ever heard. Seriously, I was actually late for work.

I genuinely look forward to every new episode. Romesh has such a wonderful way around every conversation he has. I laugh out loud at several points throughout episodes, but also massively appreciate his ability to approach different topics and engage the audience. Absolutely brilliant, here’s to many more!

I love this podcast but the volume of it is so low, makes it difficult to hear at times. Can be this increased for new episodes?

Was just thinking we need to hear more from Romesh.

Anything well made is always appreciated and a joy to invest time into. Every episode is comfort for the ears and Romesh has created something worth listening to. Love the guys laughing in the background and their participation works really well. Shanthi is a wonderful soul and did a good job raising her boys. Generous and fun. More please!

The Jack Thorne episode is my favourite so far.
