Gillian Anderson chats to Zoe about starring in the latest series of The Crown on Netflix. Gillian’s role as the political figure will see her star alongside Olivia Colman, Helena Bonham-Carter, Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor. Written and created by Peter Morgan, The Crown has enjoyed huge success since its debut in 2016. From Gillian’s legendary role as Scully in The X-Files to starring as Blanche DuBois in Benedict Andrews’ A Streetcar Named Desire, Gillian Anderson’s iconic career has established her as a globally lauded actress. Most recently, Gillian was seen starring as sex therapist Dr Jean Milburn in Netflix’s award winning comedy Sex Education.

YolanDa Brown, the saxophonist and presenter, chats to Zoe about her new music. YolanDa Brown is the double MOBO Award winning premier female saxophonist in the UK, known for her delicious fusion of reggae, jazz and soul. Having toured the world with the likes of The Temptations, Billy Ocean and Beverley Knight, YolanDa is now stepping out on her own by releasing her own music from the debut album ‘YolanDa’s Band Jam’. She also presents the award-winning CBeebies show of the same name. As Chair of Youth Music and patron of the London Music Fund, she is a figurehead for campaigning for the lack of music in primary education and the way it is taught in schools. 

There's also another round of the Virtual Radio Quiz with Jay testing the team on their general knowledge. 

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson 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 with Muneera Pilgrim and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
