Comedians Tom Davis (The Wolf) and Romesh Ranganathan (The Owl) shoot the breeze for an hour a week because they couldn’t work out a format. They also take on listener problems if they remember to ask for them before they record. Not enough podcasts are just people talking with no real purpose. We’ve come to change all that. It’s a huge waste of time, but an entertaining one. Contains swearing bec... more

  • Big love!!!!!

    Hello, the wolf & owl. My absolute favourite podcast, I’m still catching up but I have started to notice a third person getting called on for comments and can hear laughing, I hope this is not a regular thing as I have had to stop listening to other podcasts for this reason, I find it irritating to hear people other than the ones I have tuned in for.

    I do love you both, I started listening for Tom and have stayed for you both! I love the banter between you, you keep me company early in the morn... more

  • A few “two footed” too many for 5 stars

    A Chatabix (ugh) convert, I came for the Wolf and stayed for the Owl. It’s nice to genuinely love both guys equally, it’s clear they really are so close and the banter feels authentic and if it is rehearsed it’s not obvious to an obnoxious extent.

    I didn’t really follow Romesh much before listening to this, and now I’m loving going through his back catalogue and listening to him on BBCR2 when I can.

    The only thing stopping this from being perfect (it’s silly and deep in appropriate measures for ... more

  • Not the same

    I used to absolutely adore this podcast but since its update a couple of months ago it’s not the same. Previously Tom and Rom would engage in deep, but humorous adult conversation with a sprinkling of toilet humour. But since the update, it is now 80% toilet humour. I’m not sure if this is a strategic plan to appeal to older teenager boys or whether Rom and Tom are just playing it safe as their fame grows ? But either way it’s a shame to have lost the raw and deep reflections of old. Either way... more

  • Probably my favourite podcast

    Have loved this podcast since day one. 2 things though: when are we going to start call out ‘weatherall’ again and when are we going to stop hearing John cackling? Still like to pretend it’s just you two on a zoom, but John’s tittering makes it feel like a private gig. Otherwise flawless. Big love

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Best Friends, Burglaries and Weddings
Q: Do you think you can have a best friend when you're over 30?
Yes, you can, and it's okay to label someone as a very close friend without declaring a formal title to everyone; the depth of the bond matters more than the label.
In-Laws, FOMO and Thierry Henry
Q: What sort of guests would you have and how would you involve Thierry Henry in a future episode?
They discuss the fun idea of inviting Thierry Henry to the show for lighthearted, current-affairs-adjacent banter, acknowledging it would be entertaining even if they're not close friends, and joking about potential formats.
Weddings, Food Vans and King Prawn Purée
Q: What from your own weddings or other weddings you've attended were real standout moments that you think I could include in a celebration like mine?
They discuss personal moments that feel authentic and conversational, suggesting you aim for things that bring families together and reflect your personalities, like choosing a cake flavor that resonates with you or a food station that creates a memorable, relaxed vibe rather than sticking strictly to tradition.
S4 Ep 11: The Cat & An Asthmatic Grandma
Q: What should you do if your grandmother suffers from asthma and has a cat that makes her condition worse?
You should try to persuade her to find a new home for the cat while assuring her that you'll keep in touch regularly and provide her with companionship.
S4 Ep 5: Photo Shoots & Amazing Nurses
Q: What should I do about my girlfriend moving back to the US?
You should have an honest conversation about how you feel and lay your cards on the table about your relationship dynamics, and consider the implications of her potential move.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wolf & Owl

What is Wolf & Owl about and what kind of topics does it cover?

A breezy, freeform chat show hosted by two standup comedians who riff for about an hour each week, mixing personal stories, banter, and listener anecdotes with candid takes on everyday life, friendships, parenting, travel, and pop culture. The tone is playful, often self-deprecating, and audience-solicited questions or emails fuel many episodes, giving it a relatable, down-to-earth vibe. Sponsors and ads are woven into the dialogue, and the chemistry between the hosts—grounded in long-running friendship and mutual teasing—appears to be the core appeal. Noteworthy is the recurring balance between sharp banter and surprisingly earnest moments about friendship, family life, and navigating modern topics with warmth and humor.
