Dame Julie Andrews and The Why Workshop
Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball! Sound of Music and Mary Poppins’ Dame Julie Andrews chats to Zoe about her memoir of her Hollywood years called Homework, which she has written with her daughter.
It’s The Why Workshop, and Zoe quizzes the QI Elves with more of your wonders and ponders. This week, Anne and Alice Elf answer: when does a ‘Sea’ become an ‘Ocean’, and does all the Earth’s water – whatever they are called – meet up somewhere, why is glass transparent, and who is faster, Usain Bolt or a fly?
Along with Tina Daheley on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!
There’s also weather with Carol Kirkwood and a daily Pause For Thought from broadcaster Rae Duke. Following his first Formula E Championship victory, Mike chats to driver Alexander Sims and in celebration of Lancashire Day, we speak to The Lancashire Hotpots lead singer Bernard Thresher, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
