Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball! Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter give us the world exclusive of their brand new single, Happiness.

Quiz master Jay is back to test the team's general knowledge with his Virtual Radio Quiz. Pens at the ready, if you want to play along!

Plus we hear your wonderful messages and dedications on International Friendship day, as part of Friendship Season on Radio 2. After months of separation from our friends and communities, Friendship Season will celebrate the great mates that we cherish, whilst also walking with those who feel more alone. We’ll explore why friendships are so valuable, how to keep them strong and importantly how to make more.

Along with Tina Daheley on news and Jules Lang on travel, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners and more music than you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a Pause For Thought from writer Sheridan Voysey and listeners on the line as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

ΜύFrom Sheridan Voysey, Writer:

β€œWho can you call at 2am when everything has gone wrong?” This question shook me to the core when I was asked it a decade ago. I had recently moved cities and wasn’t sure who I could call in my hour of need. That’s when I realised I needed to get intentional about making friends.Μύ

Life has been described as a series of daring adventures from a secure base. I’ve come to believe that friends are that secure base. When we try out for a marathon or risk a new career, it’s friends who cheer us on. When the romance ends or family bonds break, it’s to friends that we turn. So I find concerning the recent YouGov survey result that more than one in ten of us have no close friends and another one in ten have no friends at allβ€”millions of us lack this secure foundation to thrive.

Μύ

After forty years studying friendship at Ohio University, William Rawlins describes a friend simply as someone we can talk to, depend on and enjoy. This all starts with contact, and part of my getting intentional about friendship involved making a list of current and potential friends, and scheduling in a regular drink or phone call with them. Biblical proverbs describe a friend as someone who keeps confidences, which got me thinking about vulnerability and trust. And the words we hear each Remembrance Day gave me another ingredient for friendship. β€œThere is no greater love,” Jesus says: β€œthan laying down one’s life for one’s friends.” What begins with contact and builds through trust is made strong by sacrifice.Μύ

A couple of years after hearing that β€œ2am” question, my wife and I suffered a significant loss. A friend named DJ travelled two hours to see me, and hear my anger and pain. DJ is a busy man with a family and plenty of things to do with his day. But he came. I did have someone in my hour of need.

A secure base to live from. Someone to talk to and depend on. The question now is whether DJ and others have a β€œ2am friend” in me. For there are few better ways to make more mates than to be one.
