Maximum Music Monday

Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball and the team. Zoe is joined by Horrible Histories' Greg Jenner and Kaiser Chiefs front man Ricky Wilson to chat isolation.

Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball! Between 8 am and 9 am Zoe keeps the tunes rolling on Maximum Music Monday.

Greg Jenner from Horrible Histories talks about his new 大象传媒 Radio 4 show and sets us as diary writing challenge inspired by Samuel Pepys.

Ricky Wilson drops Zoe a line to fill us in on Kaiser Chiefs self isolation re-work of 'Oh My God'.

Plus there's more of your Corona Kindness stories, with Zoe finding out the inner workings of The Bodmin Bikers! They're a group from cornwall who deliver essential supplies to those who can't get out themselves.

With the usual team of Tina Daheley and Richie Anderson, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

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

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Dave Tomlinson,听writer and vicar at large:

听

Last week I heard the wonderful news that a couple I married three years ago had given birth to twin boys 鈥� Nico & Leon. Apart from anything else, the sheer joy of these little ones鈥� entrance into the world reminded me that life goes on despite the pandemic. It made me reach for a glass of bubbly and cry 鈥楬urrah!鈥�

听

Covid-19 may take away many things, but we must surely never allow it to deprive us of joyful imagination 鈥� our glorious human capacity to envisage a better, loving, welcoming world for the likes of Nico & Leon and then to help create it.

听

I find it exciting that a survey published on Friday revealed that only 9% of Britons want life to return to 鈥榥ormal鈥� once the coronavirus outbreak is over. We have apparently noticed significant changes during the lockdown including cleaner air, more wildlife, and stronger communities, and most of us don鈥檛 want to lose these changes.

听

I can鈥檛 imagine anyone not wanting the present cloud hanging over us to lift but it seems as if these days of confinement are offering a glimpse of a different approach to life that we find appealing: an approach that recognises that 鈥榯he health of people and planet are inseparable鈥� 鈥� that we are a global family.

听

On a more personal level, I think the lockdown is helping us to look more clearly at our priorities. I recently stumbled on a quote from Lin Yutang, the Chinese philosopher who wrote that 鈥榖esides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials.鈥�

听

While I certainly didn鈥檛 choose to eliminate nonessentials, it was forced upon me, I am indeed discovering more vividly things which are essential 鈥� frequent contact with family, friends and neighbours, the sound of birds, a good book, a meal around the table. I鈥檓 also aware of essentials I鈥檓 missing 鈥� hugs from friends, freedom to get around鈥nd watching Liverpool march toward the title!

听

I look forward to baptising Nico & Leon once this is over and being part of their world which I hope we will help to create as a place of global sustainability, of friendship, hospitality and justice for all.
