Sandra Bullock and Jay's Quiz

Sandra chats to Zoe about her new film, The Lost City, plus Jay Flynn returns with another Virtual Quiz.

Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball!

Sandra Bullock is on the show chatting about her latest film 'The Lost City', in which she plays reclusive author Loretta Sage, whose adventure novels are extremely popular and feature a handsome cover model named Alan (played by Channing Tatum). While on tour promoting her new book with Alan, Loretta gets kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire Abigail Fairfax (played by Daniel Radcliffe) who hopes she can lead him to an ancient city's lost treasure from her latest story. Her book鈥檚 cover model is determined to prove he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages of her books, and so Alan sets off to rescue her.

Jay Flynn is also on the show and back with another 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.

There's also a daily Pause For Thought from Jahnavi Harrison, plus texts, emails and voice notes, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

Come the 1st听of April, every year, creatives around the world make a commitment to something called the 鈥100 day project鈥. It鈥檚 100 days of doing whatever curious or creative thing you want鈥 think technically they鈥檙e ideally consecutive days鈥 cause it does take some of the momentum out of it if you spread 100 days over an entire year as I did once鈥!听But the point is to choose something creative that you want to explore and keep going at it. The first time I did it, I chose 100 days of 鈥榩en on paper鈥 鈥 reviving my love of exploring line drawing with a biro and a fresh notebook page each day.听

I was surprised at how much resistance I felt after the first week. 鈥渨hat鈥檚 the point, I鈥檓 not an artist, everything I do looks childish, I鈥檓 bored鈥︹澨齀 pushed through that fog of lethargy and discovered on the other side, the most fun and freeing journey that filled me with life. My drawing improved exponentially鈥 was shocked, but I shouldn鈥檛 have been鈥t was the power of practice. This year I鈥檓 doing 100 days of songs. Predictably, after day three I wanted to give up and thought the whole thing was stupid, and especially where social media is involved, attention seeking. But I鈥檓 still at it. For me the beauty of it is in committing to a practice, however free flowing. I know I have to put that five or ten minutes aside to learn or practice a song. It might even become half an hour, as it did the other day.听

Of course it鈥檚 motivating knowing other people are also burrowing into their 100 day projects too. It鈥檚 harder with things like my daily spiritual practise that I鈥檝e been doing for the last 14 years. Sometimes the inspiration is as stale as an old cracker and the struggle is real鈥 But if it鈥檚 a choice between practise or not鈥 know I鈥檇 rather spend hours of my life that way, not scrolling on a screen, or numbing my mind in some other way. I want to practice, practice, practice 鈥 I think that is becoming my word of the year, and maybe of life. For me, practice is meditation, practice is prayer, practice is an expression of love. To practise is to be alive!听
