Wake up and embrace the day with Alan Carr and the team! 

18-year-old ornithologist Dr Mya-Rose Craig, AKA "Birdgirl", talks to Alan about his new favourite hobby - birdwatching - and her brand new podcast, Get Birding. In this new podcast, people up and down the UK will be encouraged to venture into their gardens and local parks to get to know Britain’s birds, find out how and where to see them and start to understand their behaviour. Environmentalist Dr Mya-Rose Craig has been birding since she was just 9 days old. She is the youngest ever member of the RSPB advisory committee and at the age of 17, she became the youngest Brit to be awarded an honorary doctorate in for her work fighting for equal access to nature and for ethnic diversity in the environmental sector.

Between 8 am and 9 am Alan keeps the tunes rolling on Maximum Music Monday and plays three classic power ballads from his personal collection in his Power Ballad Playlist at 8.30!

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Alan and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a Pause For Thought from Jahnavi Harrison and listeners on the line as Alan entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
