Can Romesh win the Chili Oil Mastermind quiz?

We're back with another Thursday episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show and Shanthi puts Romesh's chilli knowledge to the test in a fiery Mastermind-style quiz, before they share their thoughts on some tantalizing listener dilemmas from inappropriate chat-up lines to spicing up relationships.

Elsewhere, the pair discuss Shanthi's story and Romesh opens up about why he's protective of his family and the past.

From chili oil to the secret of a successful, long-lasting marriage, it's another classic Thursday episode with Shanthi and Rom.

A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform Media.
