Description

It’s the very first Thursday edition of The Romesh Ranganathan Show! Romesh is joined by his mum, Shanthi, as they launch their new weekly catch-up. They look back at the week’s big moments, share your funniest family stories, and Shanthi sets the tone with her very first topic. Warm, sharp, and brutally honest — this is Shanthi as you’ve never heard her before.
