Good News Wednesday

Vernon Kay

Available for 29 days

It’s Good News Wednesday so Vernon hears about what is making the nation smile today. Plus, two listeners take on Vernon's mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top, and Vernon delves into the BBC archives for Vernon's Vault. In Tracks Of My Years, we hear more from Owain Wyn Evans ahead of his Children in Need 4 Nations Cycle Challenge, with music from Divine Inspiration and Alphabeat. All amongst some great music to keep you smiling through the morning. Owain joins Vernon ahead of his 4 Nations Cycle Challenge this November in aid of BBC Children In Need. Owain will be taking on the greatest distance ever covered in a Radio 2 fundraising challenge - starting in Glasgow, Owain’s five-day cycle mission begins on Monday 9 November, and will see him pedal nearly 400 miles through Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and his home country of Wales, before his journey reaches its grand finale in central Cardiff on Friday 13 November. Listen to Vernon’s full conversations with his guests for Tracks Of My Years on BBC Sounds, and watch on BBC iPlayer and Radio 2's YouTube channel, just search for 'Tracks Of My Years'.
