About
About the show
One host, one table, two microphones and a lot of chai.
The host
From radio to a spare room.
I'm Rohan Mehta. I produced radio shows for eight years, mostly late at night, mostly about other people's music. I started Chai Talk because the best conversations I heard happened off-air, over tea, after the microphones were switched off.
So I switched them back on. The show is recorded in a small studio in Your City, and on the road whenever a guest can't come to us.
