Simon Le Bon has a World Exclusive new song from Duran Duran and The Why Workshop returns.

Simon Le Bon has a World Exclusive new song from Duran Duran for Zoe. Richie Anderson continues with his Eurovision Challenge and it's The Why Workshop with the QI Elves.

Simon Le Bon, from the iconic Duran Duran, is on the show with a brand new World Exclusive for Zoe. British music icons, Duran Duran have sold over 100 million records, had 18 American hit singles, 21 UK Top 20 tunes and have continued to perform to huge concert audiences around the world since the band first formed in 1980. Singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor have proven themselves timeless, always innovating and reinventing, to remain ahead of the curve. Their last album, 2015’s Paper Gods, was the band’s highest-charting release in 22 years and was hailed by critics and fans alike as their best body of work in more than two decades. Produced by Mark Ronson and Nile Rodgers, alongside Mr Hudson and Josh Blair, the record features collaborations with Janelle Monáe and John Frusciante.  A global, three year, sold-out arena tour followed.

Richie Anderson continues with his Eurovision Challenge to get James Newman's song 'Embers' played on as many radio stations taking part in the contest as possible.

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

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Hugh Ferris 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!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
