Shepherdess Amanda Owen chats to Zoe about the new series of Our Yorkshire Farm. The series, which first aired in 2018, has garnered immense popularity over the years for its heart-warming and refreshingly honest portrayal of family life in the countryside. Viewers and critics have praised Amanda and Clive Owen’s unique parenting style as they raise their nine ‘free-range’ children on their 2,000-acre remote hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales. 

Amy Macdonald performs live from the BBC's Maida Vale studios with music from her latest album The Human Demands. Amy's success is incredible, with six million album sales, four top five studio albums, two of which hit the UK number one. She's also done world tours in front of 3.3 million people, achieved over 200 million Spotify streams. Her 2007 single, This Is The Life, went to number one in ten countries. Over fifteen years of continued international success, Amy has resolutely and unfailingly gone her own way. The Human Demands, produced by Jim Abbiss of Arctic Monkeys / Kasabian fame, reconnects Amy with her alternative roots, and her ability to write classic songs that sound like they have always existed, albeit with a new, Bruce Springsteen-like widescreen grandeur and ambition.

Joel Corry, the London based DJ and producer, has created an exclusive Friday Feeling Mix for the show and chats to Zoe about his latest music. Joel’s Platinum-selling breakthrough single ‘Sorry’ spent 10 weeks in the UK Top 10 back in 2019 and broke Shazam’s all-time daily record in the UK after receiving over 41,000 tags in one 24-hour period during the summer. He  followed it up with further platinum-selling hit singles ‘Lonely’, which spend 11 weeks inside the top 10, and year-defining anthem,  ‘Head & Heart’ featuring MNEK. It was officially the longest-running, consecutive number 1 record of 2020 after spending six weeks in top spot.

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Zoe 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!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought with Reverend Richard Coles as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
