Episode Description

Who would direct Shanthi's documentary about her life?


Romesh and Shanthi are back in the studio, discussing Miriam Margolyes, documentaries and whether Shanthi would make her own all about arriving in the UK in 1975 to navigating culture shock, kindness from strangers, and the realities of starting over.


They also tackle your listener dilemmas with some sound advice, from issues dealing with mother-in-laws, parenting and superstitions. And for once Rom and Shanthi agree!


Plus: We ask the team who is better to work with Karl Pilkington or Romesh?


A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform.
