Romesh Ranganathan: I Help Others Because I Couldn't Help My Friend

TW: This episode contains discussion of suicideRomesh Ranganathan is known for his BAFTA Award winning show, Rob & Romesh, presenting across TV and radio and his hallmark cynical comedy - but really, what shines through is his generosity, openness and vulnerability, particularly around the subject of mental health. We talk about how hard it is to tell when someone’s really struggling with their mental health, talking therapy with your children, what it’s really like going to Centre Parcs when you’re in the public eye and Romesh makes a big, BAD confession. Plus – Romesh’s Mum, Shanthi pops by for a chat with me and my mum, Pam; we talk all about Shanthi’s incredible sacrifices, the impact of Romesh’s relationship with his Dad on his mental health – and Romesh and I bond over what it’s like having Mums that will fight for you on social media comments but also humble you more than anyone. Hope you all enjoy xIf you would like support on any of the issues mentioned in the episode, please head to CALM - www.thecalmzone.net#ROMESHRANGANATHAN #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Exec Producer: Jemima RathboneProducer: Magda CassidyVideo: Josh Bennett & Lizzie McCarthySound: Shane O'BryneMix: Shane O'BryneOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.
