Emma Bunton, the Spice Girl and presenter, tells Zoe about her new book on parenting. It's called, 'Mama You Got This: A Little Helping Hand For New Parents', and in it Emma uncovers all the highs and lows throughout the first year of having a baby. She looks at everything from post birth recovery to her baby's first smiles with lots of funny stories along the way. She was assisted by a team of UK and US experts including Yale鈥檚 paediatric sleep consultant Dr Craig Canapari, NCT breastfeeding expert Fran Bailey, mindfulness coach Heidi Fulton and midwife Marley Hall. Emma originally rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the girl group Spice Girls, and was nicknamed Baby Spice. During the Spice Girls hiatus, Emma released her debut solo album, 鈥楢 Girl Like Me鈥� in 2001. She released her second album, 鈥楩ree Me鈥� in 2004 and the third album 鈥楲ife In Mono鈥� followed in 2006. Emma reunited with the Spice Girls in 2007 for a one-off international tour and a greatest hits album.

Peter Crouch, the former England striker and hugely successful podcast host will be back this summer alongside Maya Jama and Alex Horne and The Horne Section with his new 成人快手 One TV show, Crouchy鈥檚 Year Late Euros: Live. Each episode will be broadcast live just a stone鈥檚 throw from Wembley Stadium, where the new champions of Europe will be crowned this summer. The series, originally announced in 2019, follows the biggest matches in the postponed Euro 2020 tournament, rescheduled to kick off in June 2021. In each episode, Peter, Maya and Alex will present their unique take on all the action and will be following all the qualified home nations of England, Scotland and Wales throughout the tournament.

It鈥檚 The Why Workshop, and Zoe quizzes the QI Elves with more wonders and ponders, including your questions.

Along with Clare Runacres on news and Richie Anderson on travel, she 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 and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

I was on the train for the first time in ages, hurrying to a meeting I really couldn鈥檛 miss. Wearing a mask, keeping my distance from strangers and - if I鈥檓 honest - more than a bit fearful of running into crowds.聽

I only had a few minutes to change trains but my belly was rumbling because I hadn鈥檛 had time for breakfast, so I risked dashing into the platform cafe for a coffee and a sandwich. And a bun. I like buns.聽

I was feeling pretty pleased with myself as the carriages rolled in until the cafe worker came running after me shouting: 鈥淐ome back! Come back!鈥澛�

The machine had not taken my payment and the screen went blank again as I stood in the cafe getting really anxious. Outside, I could see people boarding the train. 鈥淚鈥檝e got to go,鈥� I said, ready to run. What would you have done?聽

Then a voice came from behind. 鈥淚鈥檒l get this,鈥� said a lady in a mask, with kind eyes, who had seen my panic.聽

鈥淎re you sure?鈥�

鈥淵eah. Catch your train.鈥澛�

So I did. I ran. And I sat on it stunned at what had just happened, wondering if she鈥檇 realised it would be eight quid. Buns don鈥檛 come cheap on the railways.聽

Jesus tells his friends that whenever they feed someone who is hungry, give a drink to someone who is thirsty or welcome a stranger, it鈥檚 as if they鈥檙e doing it to him.聽

So many cultures, religions and traditions call us to be open and helpful to what my kids call randoms. But it comes as a complete shock when it happens to you and you can鈥檛 see their faces and you鈥檙e hurrying through a world of warnings.聽

Then I realised something really embarrassing: this was the wrong train. They鈥檇 slipped a late runner in before mine, one of many going to a popular destination. She must have thought: 鈥淗e鈥檚 just done a bunk!鈥� So I hid behind a pillar at the next station as I waited to change again, in case she came by.聽

But even as I did, her generosity cracked me open. I have to admit there were tears. She had liberated me a for moment, allowing love to break through all my fear and worry, just by doing something unexpectedly, randomly and gloriously kind.
