Celebrating One Year Of The Romesh Ranganathan Show

Who does Shanthi want next on the podcast?

In this special, one-year anniversary episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show, Romesh and Shanthi celebrate a whole year of the podcast with a little help from the team and a surprise message from none other than our first guest, Michael Sheen.

The pair look back at some of their favourite moments from the show, reflect on how far the podcast has come, and discuss what they’d like to do next, including a potential trip to Los Angeles and a team yacht holiday.

They also tackle a listener dilemma about dogs at parties, pet boundaries, parent and child tattoos, and discuss Romesh’s ambition to get on Below Deck.

Plus, Shanthi has some very sweet words about Romesh and the team behind the podcast.

It’s a special anniversary episode celebrating one year of The Romesh Ranganathan Show.
