Goodbye Winter

Spend Saturday lunchtime with Emma. Whether you’re out and about or chilling at home; Emma is standing by to speak to you and hit shuffle on all your favourite music.

There's no better feeling than a Saturday afternoon, right? Whether you’re out and about, or preparing for a glorious night in, Emma Willis is standing by to speak to you and hit shuffle on all your favourite music.

On Match of the Day, Emma's weekly dating slot, she chats to listeners about their love lives; the good, the bad and the unforgettable! Today she chats to Debbie about her first date with Bren on Southwold Pier in 1998, later marrying in the same place and celebrating 20 years of marriage this year.

After 2pm, it's the Saturday Matinee, and you are the stars of the show! As theatres across the UK welcome their afternoon audiences, Emma checks in with all the performers out there. Today we meet Alice, a young actor who has just secured a part in a musical following a recent audition.
