Paddy McGuiness and Freddie Flintoff are on the show telling Zoe about the brand new series of Top Gear on BBC One. Freddie Flintoff, Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness hit the road again in a series of challenges designed to push them and their cars to the limit.  Series highlights see the trio tackling the thorny issue of ‘mid-life crisis’ cars, heading to the Scottish Highlands on a punishing off-road adventure, celebrating and driving some of the most iconic cars from the James Bond films, and taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane as they drive their dads’ old cars. Plus reviews of the new Toyota GR Yaris, Lamborghini Sian, Ferrari Roma and more.

Thomas Rhett is on the line chatting to Zoe live from Nashville, the home of country music, as part of Radio 2 Celebrates Country. Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. professionally known as Thomas Rhett is an American country music singer-songwriter and the son of singer Rhett Akins. Thomas has released four studio albums for Big Machine Records' Valory Music imprint: It Goes Like This (2013), Tangled Up (2015), Life Changes (2017), and Center Point Road (2019). He will release his brand new album, Country Again: Side A, in April. His four albums have produced nineteen singles, with fifteen reaching the No. 1 position.  One of his biggest hits was "Die a Happy Man" and was written about his wife Lauren Akins who is a NY Times best-selling author with "Live In Love".  Thomas and Lauren co-hosted the CMA Christmas Special in 2020.

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