Great Excuses

Jaz Singh

Available for 28 days

With the World Cup late nights messing up everyone's schedules, Jaz Singh wants to hear your greatest excuses for missing work the next morning! If you've been up late to catch the kick-off and ended up sleeping through your alarm, Jaz wants to know what you've told the boss. Whether you've feigned illness, used your kid as an excuse, or even ended up bumping off a pet, what's the greatest excuse out there? Bonus points if you used it this morning after last night's match! While you’re getting ready to spill the tea, he’s keeping the vibes high with Bollywood Sing-Along Anthems, from today’s carpool karaoke hits to the ’90s dance classics that raised you. And don't forget, it's the Asian Network Big Summer of Prizes! Stay tuned to Jaz, Nikita and Haroon for your chance to call in and win big- and tomorrow, it's Nikita giving one lucky listener an amazing prize! So warm up those vocals and let your smart speaker keep the fun going. Just say 'play BBC Asian Network'. Produced in Birmingham by Glenvale Media for BBC Asian Network.
