Matt Lucas sits in for Zoe and chats to musical theatre star Marisha Wallace. From being born and raised in North Carolina, to tap dancing at the Tony’s, to working as a nanny for Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisha Wallace has now gone on to conquer Broadway and the West End, star in a Netflix series, perform for the Queen at the Royal Variety Show and release a chart topping single to raise money for Covid-hit performers. She's just released a new EP, Soul of the Stage, and this September is heading off on a UK tour.

Plus entomologist and explorer George McGavin is popping up on the latest series of Radio 2's Bees in a Pod podcast, and has lots of brilliant bee facts as part of this summer's Big Bee Challenge.

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Matt 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 artist and philanthropist Manika Kaur and listeners on the line as Matt entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
