About this episode

Tom and Romesh humorously explore various podcast formats while sharing parenting advice and audition scenarios.

What would happen if Tom and Romesh started their own Diary of a CEO? On this week's Wolf & Owl, the boys settle into their brand new studio before taking the mickey out of some of the biggest podcasts around. From The Diary of a CEO to The Rest Is Entertainment (and even a cycling podcast nobody asked for), no podcast is safe. Elsewhere, Tom gives Romesh some questionable dad advice, and the pair role play some bizarre audition scenarios. As always, expect complete nonsense, the odd surprisingly wholesome moment and plenty of reasons to email us your questions, dilemmas and ideas for future episodes at wolfowlpod@gmail.com A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform Media.
