Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball!

It's Wednesday, so it’s The Why Workshop, where Zoe quizzes the QI Elves with more wonders and ponders, including your questions. If you ever find yourself confused about who, what, where, when or WHY something happens, email us... zoeball@bbc.co.uk is the address you need!

Plus, Zoe has highlights from the Radio 2 In Concert with Blur last night... and a couple of bonus ENCORE tracks... recorded exclusively for the Breakfast Show.

Ahead of the Women's World Cup which starts tomorrow... Mike has booked a football legend to give us all the gossip. The Lioness's record goalscorer Ellen White is on the show!

And as ever, you choose the tunes... in Pick Your Own Playlist and the Seven Thirty Three.

Along with Tina Daheley on news, Ellie Brennan on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning.

There's also a daily Pause For Thought from Miriam Lorie, and your calls, voice notes and messages, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
