Martin and Shirlie Kemp chat to Zoe about their new memoir 'It's A Love Story'. The book tells their incredible story from the moment they set eyes on each other, through their stellar careers, to raising a family together. Martin Kemp is best known for playing in Spandau Ballet, as well as his role in EastEnders. Shirlie Kemp found fame as a Wham! backing singer, going on to form her own band as Pepsi & Shirlie.

Radio 1 and 6Music Presenter Huw Stephens calls in to share all the details of this year's ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Music Introducing Live. The event is for aspiring artists and anyone looking to get into the music industry, held online from 24th - 31st October with the likes of HAIM, Ray BLK, Tom Misch, Jack Garratt, Arlo Parks and Moses Boyd and more giving a series of exclusive live performances, masterclasses and panel talks.

...plus, as part of Radio 2's Grief Conversations, Richie meets Vick, a dad who lost his newborn son in 2016. He uses football as a way of coping with his feelings of loss, and says that being in an environment where there is no pressure to talk about what you've been through really helps.

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 than you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought from Steve Chalke and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Steve Chalke, minister, speaker and social entrepreneur:Μύ
It was a Thursday morning - before the lockdown. The charity I work for had become responsible for a secondary school in a community where an old church building had recently been closed because it was no longer viable due to declining attendance. This, however, was very definitely against the will of the small group of elderly people who regularly attended it. So, with their help, we’d negotiated to use it to create a calm environment for students who, because of the trauma – the neglect or abuse – they have suffered, find themselves unable to settle in a conventional classroom. And, I’d dropped in to see how things were going.Μύ
Jack arrived - a 12 year old with an extremely difficult and complex family background, who struggled with sudden mood swings. I couldn’t even get him to say hello. But, a few minutes later Philp – one of the elderly church members - appeared. He’d popped into to spend an hour or so, as he did a couple of times a week, with Jack. I watched as he made Jack a cup of tea. They sat and chatted. Then they wandered across to the pool table. Philip was good. It was obvious he was going to win. But Jack had often proved that he was quite capable of lashing out when he felt humiliated. Soon, all that remained for Philip was to sink the black for victory. It gently rolled into a corner pocket. But, to my surprise, instead of flying into a temper, Jack smiled. Philip smiled back. And together they headed off to a computer to work on a β€˜catchup’ literacy programme.Μύ
That’s when the penny dropped. Jesus taught β€œWhenever you do it for the least of these, you do it for me”, and over the years, Philip had got the message! I suddenly realised that the only people who ever gave Jack their time were professionals; those who were paid to be with him. Teachers, social workers, counsellors, therapists. But, Philip was different. Philip was there simply because he chose to be. And that was what had such a huge impact on Jack. Someone wanted to spend time with him – just for the sake of it. Philip’s commitment to him was quite literally rewiring Jack’s brain; restructuring his thinking and transforming his future.
