Dig It with Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball

It’s Happy Birthday Dig It – the show turns one today and what a year it’s been. This week, Jo and Zoe celebrate that momentous milestone, as well as England getting through to the semi-finals of the World Cup, asking whether VAR in your day-to-day life could actually be a lifesaver? They also reflect on their incredible time on stage at Crossed Wires Festival for the first Dig It Live, give their take on the new Katie Price documentary ‘Nothing To Hide’, and hear Mike the Gardener’s expert advice on gardening in a heatwave.
Watch or listen now to join the celebrations.  It’s coming home… hopefully!

Congratulations are in order as Zoe has some big job news to share; Jo tells us how she got on with her much-anticipated wedding reading, why the bride and groom buried a sausage before their Big Day and how she really felt walking on stage to 20,000 fans at the Isle of Wight Festival.  
Plus, after Zoe had the time of her life at Harry Styles' concert, we're asking where you stand on this Digger dilemma: Should gigs have a 'no phone' policy?
