Gary Barlow, the hugely successful singer songwriter best known for being part of the global sensation Take That, is on the phone chatting Zoe about his brand new music. Plus Zoe has the World Exclusive first play of his new single 'Elita', which he's recorded with Michael Buble and Sebastian Yatra. As well as being part of one of the biggest bands in popular music, he's also one of the most successful songwriters in the UK, having won six Ivor Novello Awards and sold over 50 million records.

Dawn O'Porter, writer and broadcaster, talks to Zoe about her new book 'Life In Pieces', which follows her daily diaries and experiences in grief, identity, bad hair and parenting. Dawn lives in Los Angeles with her husband Chris O'Dowd, her two boys Art and Valentine, and her cat Lilu and dog Potato. Dawn started out in TV production but quickly landed in front of the camera, making numerous documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4, the most famous being her immersive investigations of polygamy, size zero, childbirth, free love, breast cancer and the movie Dirty Dancing.

It’s the 'Why Workshop', and Zoe quizzes the QI Elves with more wonders and ponders, including your questions.

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 headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought with Nick Baines, the Bishop of Leeds, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
