BBC Asian Network announces new chat show ‘One More Chai’

BBC Asian Network has today announced the launch of new chat show in a podcast format, ‘One More Chai’.

The show will air on the station on Wednesdays (22:00 – 23:00) from 17th April, it will be hosted by SMASHBengali and Guranisha Randhawa.

The show will chat through various trending topics each week and deliver content from the Asian Network Birmingham hub. The show is a tongue in cheek look at what’s happening across socials, and spaces where the Asian Network audience are living and breathing.

SMASHBengali says: “Mate, I’ve always wanted to have a show that sits on a platform with the ability to reach people just like me. Me and Gura are over the moon to know we’re going to be able to create a space for much needed conversations within our communities. It’s going to be a laugh, it might get emotional and we might even get an earful from our parents for some of the boundaries we push…but we’re excited for the ride. This is going to be iconic, and we hope you’ll join us on our journey with your own cup of chai.”

Guranisha Randhawa says: “I am over the moon that I’ve landed myself a show with Asian Network. I can’t wait to get into all the juicy topics with Smash. I’m super grateful for the opportunity and I promise to be unapologetically my authentic self, hopefully it doesn’t offend anyone too much…!”

Ahmed Hussain, Head of Asian Network, says: “I can’t wait for listeners to hear what SMASHBengali and Gura have in store for One More Chai. It’s been a while in the making and these two are the perfect pair to bring those belly laughs. Imagine the conversations you have from your living room to the chicken shop, from the shisha lounge to the dessert bars, to those long journeys on the motorways – this is the show where it all lives, and of course – there’s always time for One More Chai!”
