It is really funny when its going, but only really the Thursday ep is worth listening to. The episodes have an abnormally high number of long ads. His mum's advice is also, almost always, awful to the point where I'm not sure if that's on purpose?
I initially got hooked by Ramesh’s relationship with his lovely mum, but I’ve ended up absolutely loving the interviews on a Monday. Funny, warm and genuinely interesting. And I love every expletive too — don’t ever stop! Such a breath of fresh air. Keep it up!
Such a funny show! Wholesome and inappropriate all at the same time.
It’s such a funny and needed antidote to everything going on in the world at the moment. Please tour Oz!
Romesh and crew are fantastic, but his mom blasting Idris Elba in 2026 because she thought he snubbed Romesh eleven years ago had our household laughing tears!!! Tom Hiddleston better watch out! Fantastic show!
