What do you get Shanthi Ranganathan for her birthday when she already has it all?
It’s a special birthday episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show, as Romesh and the team celebrate Shanthi with gifts, an unexpected charity donation, and a chaotic game of Would You Rather?
From Shanthi’s thoughts on dating later in life, to questions about drug use, and heated debates over Titanic, cats and parrots, this birthday special goes exactly where you’d expect and absolutely nowhere you’d predict...
Plus, Romesh and Shanthi tackle your listener dilemmas with their usual mix of questionable advice, honesty and chaos.
A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform.
