Barbra Streisand, the internationally acclaimed singer, actor and director chats to Zoe about her brand new album.

Barbra Streisand, the legendary singer, actor and director chats to Zoe about her brand new album. Release Me 2 features 10 previously unheard songs from her private vault with dates ranging from 1962-2020. It is the first new Barbra album title since 2018's Walls, and is a sequel to 2012's Release Me. The album includes songs by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Barry Gibb, Paul Williams, Randy Newman and Carole King. It will also feature the duets: I’d Want It To Be You with country legend Willie Nelson and Rainbow Connection with Muppet superstar Kermit the Frog.
Throughout her recording career, Barbra Streisand has topped the US Billboard 200 chart with 11 albums. In the UK, she has topped the UK album charts four times (twice with compilations) and Woman In Love is her only No1 hit (out of six Top 10s and 16 Top 40 songs). With sales of over 150 million records worldwide, she is one of the best-selling recording artists of all time. Her accolades include two Oscars, 10 Grammys (including the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Legend Award), five Emmys, three Peabodys, eleven Golden Globes and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Zoe crosses live to Tokyo to speak to double gold medal-winning swimmer Tom Dean and his 4x200m freestyle relay partner, 18 year old Matt Richards, who reflect on an incredible last 24 hours in the pool after their win at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre. Plus GB diver Matty Lee calls Zoe after arriving back in the UK after his gold medal alongside partner Tom Daley in the Men's synchronized 10m platform.

Plus former Winter Olympian Aimee Fuller tells Zoe about her brilliant new podcast The Olympic Mile, out now on BBC Sounds, where she takes a walk some of Team GB's finest athletes to delve into their training plans, diet, mindset, hype music, Olympic goals and much more.

And finally, Jay Flynn returns with a quickfire round of his Virtual Radio Quiz where he tests the team on their general knowledge to see who comes out on top.

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, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners and more music than you can shake a glitterball at!

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