What’s the best way to cure a fear of flying? According to Shanthi, pray...or fly to Portsmouth.

It’s Thursday, which means Romesh’s mum Shanthi is back to answer your questions and family dilemmas on The Romesh Ranganathan Show.

There’s a lottery win dream purchase, a trigonometry refresher with a questionable acronym, a garden centre saga that Shanthi has been waiting to tell, and a flight attendant role play that goes completely off the rails.

A Ranga Bee Production.
