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 MisMatch of the Day, Emma’s weekly dating slot with a twist, she chats to listeners about their worst first dates. Today, Naomi from South Yorkshire shares a painfully awkward mix-up where she spent an entire evening calling her date by the wrong name. Got a worst first date story you’d like to share? Email Emma@bbc.co.uk now. 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, Emma chats to Liz, a care professional by day and rock diva by night, performing in not one but two bands. Ask your smart speaker to 'Play Radio 2'. Produced by Biscuit Jim Ltd for BBC Radio 2.
