About this episode

Romesh and Tom discuss parenting, tough love, and the Marvel Universe while navigating personal challenges.

Is Romesh really the weakest link? In this episode of Wolf & Owl, Romesh questions whether he's the "dud" in his various projects, but Tom is having absolutely none of it. The pair discuss Romesh's success, behind the scenes at BBC Radio 2, and whether he's giving himself enough credit. Elsewhere, Romesh and the boys get into parenting, tough love and pets, while Tom finds himself struggling with household duties while his wife recovers from surgery. But it wouldn't be Wolf & Owl without a tangent. The boys digress into a big debate on The Marvel Universe. Plus, there's a discussion on the power of having a growth mindset and chat of haircuts, plugs, and a surprising AI French crop moment. Another week, another collection of questionable decisions from Wolf & Owl. A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform Media.
