Good News Wednesday

Available for 28 days

Vernon hears about what's making you smile on Good News Wednesday, plus more from singer-songwriter Myles Smith, who is our guest all this week on Tracks Of My Years, and two more listeners take on Ten To The Top. Born in 1998 in Luton, Myles Smith grew up listening to a mixture of church music, motown and R&B, starting to play music at school during his lunch breaks. He went to Nottingham University to study sociology, also working in a supermarket and performing music in his spare time. In 2022, his TikTok videos were spotted by music manager Eric Parker, who went on to sign Myles. He released the global hit Stargazing in 2024, which has hit over a billion streams, and in 2025, he was nominated for three BRIT Awards, including winning the Rising Star Award. He has played live across the world, including huge tours with Ed Sheeran, and next month releases his highly anticipated debut album My Mess, My Heart, My Life, followed by a headline arena tour in the autumn. You can find Vernon's full chat with Myles in Tracks Of My Years on BBC Sounds, and watch the conversation on BBC iPlayer, just search for 'Tracks Of My Years'. A BBC Audio production for BBC Radio 2.
