Synopsis

Handle homework without humiliation with help from Simon Mayo and his popular Radio 2 Drivetime segment, ‘Homework Sucks.'
 
It's the moment every parent dreads. Lovely little Jonny or Jenny returns from school with the world's most complicated piece of homework and who do they turn to for help? You. Trouble is, you haven't the foggiest idea what they're on about. That's where Homework Sucks comes to the rescue. Stumped by stats? Confused by chemistry? Baffled by biology? Simon Mayo can solve your ongoing conundrums.
 
Originally open for children to phone in with their homework issues, this part of the Drivetime show now invites all listeners to send in questions they've always wanted to ask. Answers to these questions are sent in by other listeners making Homework Sucks a really fun, interactive part of the show.
 
How do you make the toughest conker? How much ground below my house do I actually own? At what point away from the Earth does gravity stop? For answers to all of these questions and more, Simon Mayo and his Homework Sucks team of experts are here to help.
