Chapter 1: What is the email special about?

0.031 - 19.35 Romesh Ranganathan

Welcome, motherfuckers. It's time for the Romesh Ranganathan episode, Thursday episode of the podcast. It says here, Romesh uses a cool keyboard to make typing sounds audible. And then do I carry on typing as I read? Up to you, really. Well, it's not up to me, is it? Because I'm following instructions on the thing.

Chapter 7: How does Shanthi get duped by AI and TikTok?

75.296 - 93.314 Romesh Ranganathan

I didn't fucking log into anything. Now I know why this has been scripted like this. We logged into the correct inbox. We logged into the correct inbox. I didn't, by the way. It was the team. It has nothing to do with me. And it turns out our email is still alive and well. We appreciate you and all your emails.
