Elton John, Charlie Puth, Stanley Tucci and Peter Sawkins

Elton John and Charlie Puth chat to Zoe about their new single. Hollywood star Stanley Tucci discusses his memoir and Bake Off winner Peter Sawkins has a brand new cookbook.

Elton John and Charlie Puth chat to Zoe about their new single, After All. The track is taken from Elton's upcoming album, The Lockdown Sessions, which is full of collaborations with some of the biggest artists in the world right now, including Charlie, Dua Lipa, Eddie Vedder, Gorillaz, Lil Nas X, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder and Years & Years.

Hollywood actor Stanley Tucci has published his new mouth-watering memoir, Taste: My Life Through Food. Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada and The Hunger Games, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them.

Plus, Bake Off winner Peter Sawkins has published his first cookbook, Peter Bakes. When Peter became the youngest ever winner of the Great British Bake Off in 2020, it was a landmark moment on a journey that began when he started baking flapjacks and shortbread aged five. In his debut cookbook, Peter reveals his trademark tricks to baking success. With easy-to-follow recipes, he shares everything from bakes for beginners to celebratory showstoppers, all with a gluten-free option.

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, 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 Jahnavi Harrison and listeners on the line as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

In two days, one of the most popular Hindu festivals of the year begins, called Navaratri. It means, β€˜nine nights’ – well named, because it is indeed celebrated over that many consecutive nights, with lots of singing, dancing, prayer and feasting. Although Hindus from different regions and traditions relate to it in different ways, most commonly it’s a celebration of the divine feminine in her many different aspects.Μύ

Μύ

The ninth and final night is commonly dedicated to Saraswati Devi, the Goddess of wisdom, art and music. I remember how at my Saturday morning dance and music school in the local arts centre, we would dress neatly and bring offerings of fruit and flowers to class. Our teachers stood in a row next to a beautiful altar. Along with offering our bouquets and bags of apples and oranges to the Goddess, we would present our dancing bells – thick rows of brass jingling bells which were always tied around each ankle when performing on stage. Coming before our teachers we would offer our respect with a deep bow and receive their blessing for another year of learning.ΜύΜύLastly the whole school would offer our respects to the Goddess of the earth, and then dance and sing something simple in unison, offering the movements of our bodies, and our life breath in the form of song.

Μύ

I remember I used to get goosebumps and feel an inspiration stir inside. Our sometimes sluggish Saturday morning class felt transformed into a temple with this simple ritual. I don’t study dance formally anymore, but every year I remember this ceremony. It’s a day to honour all teachers, who bring wisdom, and insight into my life, often at a considerable personal sacrifice – like my mum, a headteacher for the last 27 years. And it’s a day to honour the tools and instruments I use to perform my work, and acknowledge that to have them, is a divine blessing. Most of all it’s a day to remember that even without all the light, colour, beauty and sacred ritual, the most ordinary day can transform into something profound when I try to see everything I have as a blessing, and perform every action, no matter how small, as an offering.Μύ
