Sports presenter Sue Barker joins Zoe to talk about Wimbledon 2021 and what we can expect from the grass court championships. Plus there's a Disco Ball for you to groove to.

Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball! Between 8am and 9am Zoe keeps the tunes rolling on Maximum Music Monday. And Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30!

Sue Barker joins Zoe after 8.30 to look ahead to Wimbledon 2021. The tournament was cancelled last year for the first time since the Second World War due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but it is expected to be business as usual this time around. Today marks the Day One of the grass court championships down in SW17 and you can watch all the action on 成人快手 Two. Sue Barker is a former professional tennis player. During her tennis career, she won fifteen WTA Tour singles titles, including one Grand Slam singles title at the 1976 French Open. She reached a career-high singles ranking of World No. 3. She joined the presenting team at Wimbledon in 1993. She took over as host of Today at Wimbledon in 1994 and since 2000 has anchored the two-week-long broadcast.

Zoe also talks to Travis Ludlow, an 18 year old from Buckinghamshire who is attempting to break the world record to be the youngest person ever to fly around the world solo. Travis talks to Zoe live from his current location in Florida about how his trip is going so far and how he got into flying in the first place.

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, 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

It probably shouldn鈥檛 come as a surprise to anyone that if you make a film about a place, loads of people then want to go there to see with their own eyes. 鈥楾he Dig鈥� is a case in point. I watched the film the day it came out and was captivated. If you haven鈥檛 seen it, it鈥檚 about the discovery of an Anglo-Saxon burial ground at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk in 1939, and movie - with Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes - explores how it nearly didn鈥檛 happen at all.

I do understand the draw to see the place - visitor numbers have shot up since the film was launched. When I was a vicar in Leicestershire we had the shaft of a Saxon cross in the churchyard, dating back to the mid-800s. I baptised in a Norman font that had been there for a thousand years (Norman was the period, not its name). We drank wine out of an Elizabethan chalice. People through the ages in that village had seen and touched these objects as the world changed around them.

I guess there is something powerful about a physical connection with people in the past that makes us realise that Now is transient, and one day we will all be someone else鈥檚 past.

Next Saturday I鈥檒l be ordaining 23 new clergy at Ripon Cathedral. I have encouraged them all to go down into the Saxon crypt, reputed to be the oldest stone-built place of Christian worship in England. The people who brought Christianity to these islands were brave and radical, giving up their lives for the sake of love and rejecting the brutal plays for power through violence that characterised much of life then. And they were here.

The past might be a foreign country in many ways, but we need physical things that connect us, that remind us of where we have come from, of who we are and what has shaped us. This should not come as a surprise to me: Christian faith is rooted in the conviction that God once took flesh, opting into the material world of stuff.

So, what is spiritual always needs a touching place.
