Dame Sarah Storey

Dame Sarah Storey, the most successful British female Paralympian of all time, joins Zoe. And it's Maximum Music Monday, so there's three disco classics in Zoe's Disco Ball.

Dame Sarah Storey, the most successful British female Paralympian of all time, joins Zoe to talk about The Game Changers Podcast. She was due to compete at Tokyo 2020. The Paralympic games have been rescheduled to 24th August 鈥� 5th September 2021. Sarah competed as a swimmer at four Paralympic Games before switching to cycling in 2005, and is now the owner of 14 Paralympic gold medals. Since making the career move, Sarah added to her swimming golds with a further nine cycling titles at the Paralympics of 2008, 2012 and 2016, bettering the record of Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and Dave Roberts among modern British para-athletes who won 11 golds.

Zoe also plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball, and along with Tina Daheley on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning with 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!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Dave Tomlinson, writer and vicar at large:听
There are certain people (I find) whose warmth, generosity and sheer humanity make me want to be a better person 鈥� I don鈥檛 mean more successful, I mean better鈥ore alive on the inside. Maurice Smith was such a person. It鈥檚 exactly a year since I last saw him and sadly, he passed away at the end of April, aged 93, still sporting his marvellous crop of red hair. Maurice was a Christian speaker and writer who never really found a comfortable place in church and organised religion; he was at odds with systems, institutions and inflexible ideas about God. He never used highfalutin religious jargon; he even disliked being labelled 鈥楥hristian鈥�.听
鈥業鈥檓 simply Maurice鈥�, he would say; 鈥榮omeone trying to find his way.鈥� He was what I鈥檇 call an everyday mystic 鈥� someone whose knowledge of God stemmed not from books, traditions and doctrines but from personal experience in the school of life. For him, faith was something felt, something rooted in goodness. 鈥業f we can love and be kind to fellow humans and animals鈥�, he said, 鈥榯hen, all the rest is window-dressing.鈥� Among his many writings, the book I love best describes the 鈥榓rt of going nowhere鈥� 鈥� it鈥檚 not a manual for couch potatoes, more a guide to inner contentment: release from the frenzied need to acquire and achieve. By nature, I鈥檓 a manic kind of person. I find it hard to sit still, to still my mind, to stop planning the next venture.听
The habit traces back to childhood; my dad always said I had ants in my pants. Then as a teenager I always needed to be going somewhere, doing something, starting something up. And to be honest, I鈥檓 still a bit like that. But Maurice reminded me of what I miss when I forget to stand and stare, to sit still and breathe, to notice the precious people and things I take for granted. Visiting Maurice last year, observing his joyous contentment in caring for his wife with Alzheimer鈥檚 despite the obvious effects of his four strokes, I reflected on his mantra: 鈥楽top waiting for life to happen鈥his is it!
