BBC Radio 5 Live BBC Sounds

Might reflect a bit of this tomorrow. #PremierLeague BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast

Days like this on BBC 5 Live Sport are just the best. Doing very boring household jobs but everything easier with Steve Crossman following me around (he is EXCELLENT at busy sports days like this)

📻 BBC Sounds

Really happy to have passed level 3 - but don’t feel ready for next level 😬😬😬 Samantha Jane Brooks #BrainTraining

Friends… this is not what I said, but hey ho. Probs best to listen to the whole pod for context. (See earlier post)

‼️ In My Opinion: 'I don't think the Olympics is the place for prize money for gold medallists'.

Gold medallists in athletics at this summer's Olympics will get $50,000 prize money.

Five-time Olympian Jo Pavey says support should go to struggling athletes.

What do you think?

Really enjoyed talking to Gabby Logan on her Midpoint pod - she's one of the warmest and most open broadcasters, it just felt like having a catch up with a friend for an hour.

Also on the show tomorrow...

More #ChampionsLeague , reaction to #CassReport , new migraine treatment, dental bus, a new theme park for Bedford, and Rick Edwards interviews Ronda Rousey

Plus #IMO - it's a mistake to pay Olympians for winning medals - do you agree? BBC Radio 5 Live

Are you fed up of the wet Spring weather? ☔️

Spare a thought for farmers and construction workers - two vital industries facing huge financial challenges because of the rain.

We'll discuss tomorrow BBC Radio 5 Live - and let us know how it's affecting you BBC Sounds

👇

I think the God Particle might take it a *little* too far, but we like to make the most of the whole team's expertise.

For clarity - this morning on the #CassReport

We'll be hearing from Hilary Cass who's spoken to the BBC

We'll be talking to trans woman about her experience on puberty blockers, and to a journalist who's been critical of these medical interventions on children

Also on the show tomorrow..

. #ChampionsLeague
. Post Office inquiry
. THC vapes

BBC Radio 5 Live BBC Sounds

Tomorrow - the #CassReport into gender identity services for children in England. A highly sensitive and often polarising subject. We’ll talk to a young trans woman, as well as someone who argues for sex-based rights to be protected. BBC Radio 5 Live BBC Sounds

Tomorrow we’ll talk to Kimberley Wilson CPsychol about this project - our conversation last year on BBC Radio 5 Live sparked the whole thing off 🧠

OK, not quite as impressive as the total #SolarEclipse but seeing as it was mostly cloudy to see the partial in the UK, these two Weather Watchers did very well.

Just a nibble of the Sun obscured at sunset. Fabulous...🤩

Available to listen to on BBC Sounds with new episodes every Monday. Guaranteed to brighten your day. 🌞

Our #InMyOpinion tomorrow - is it time to bring back conscription in the UK?

Some politicians have been calling for it and a third of European countries still have it.

Would it work here? Is it essential for UK security?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

The #PostOffice inquiry resumes tomorrow - Alan Bates speaks tomorrow. Still so much to learn about who knew what when.

Well also talk about #ChampionsLeague , speak to Tom Dean, and hear from Henry Zeffman who got caught up in the Westminster honey trap
