Shanthi’s Love Languages & Philosophical Questions

What should Shanthi learn next?

In this week's episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show we talk love languages, getting Shanthi on Raya and we even get a bit philosophical, plus Shanthi always wants to learn something new so send in your suggestions.

We also answer more of your emails and voicenotes (as well as some roasting of Romesh) discussing career changes, age gaps and communication between sons and mothers.

Plus, will Shanthi be seeing the Wayan brothers new movie, Scary Movie? And is Romesh going to buy her a Rolex for Christmas? Speaking of Christmas, THAT Christmas list pops up again…
