Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball!

It's Wednesday, so it’s The Why Workshop, where Zoe quizzes the QI Elves with more wonders and ponders, including your questions. If you ever find yourself confused about who, what, where, when or WHY something happens, email us... zoeball@bbc.co.uk is the address you need!

Plus, you choose the tunes... in Pick Your Own Playlist and the Seven Thirty Three.

Along with Tina Daheley on news and Richie Anderson on travel, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning.

There's also the latest sport, a Pause For Thought and your calls, voice notes and messages, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for all the family!
