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!
Bring back loyale carner pls romesh
Romesh. Shanti Auntie and the whole team knock it out the park every week
Funny and interesting guests and non stop laughs - esp the football episode
I genuinely laugh out loud on public and it can be awks but wouldn’t want it any other way
I came across this in the comedy section. Must have been put there by mistake, as there is nothing funny about it.
The Thursday episodes are much more genuine than the Monday episodes in my opinion,Romesh using his over exaggerated laugh at anything a Monday guest says is quite annoying tbh but 5 stars for Thursdays episodes

The show features candid conversations with world-famous actors, comedians, and musicians, often paired with humor and surprising depth. Episodes cover career trajectories, creative processes, touring realities, and the pressures of fame, frequently balanced by warm family banter when the Thursday format with a well-known host's mother adds intimate, relatable moments. Notable is the mix of high-profile interviews and down-to-earth family storytelling, plus a strong brand-partner presence that folds into the narrative. This combination makes it compelling for listeners who want entertaining insights, actionable career takeaways, and a human, humorous angle on celebrity life.
