Shanequa Paris and Pete Allison get in touch with their analogue selves!

Shanequa Paris and Pete Allison help keep in touch with your analogue self!

With the release of Toy Story 5, we're thinking about the parts of ourselves that exist beyond our phones, endless notifications, group chats and doomscrolling. Maybe it's the hobby you forgot you loved. The notebook you used to fill. The camera gathering dust. The version of you that was curious, creative, offline and a little less overwhelmed.

We want to hear, what do you secretly miss most away from your phone?

Plus this Father's Day weekend, we're talking about the men who showed up for us - the ones who taught us something lasting, offered support when we needed it, or quietly helped shape who we are.

Not everyone has a close relationship with their dad. For some people, the most important male figure in their life was a grandad, older brother, teacher, neighbour, a family friend or even a character from their favourite TV show.

We're joined by Britain's Got Talent finalist Sonny Green, whose moving piece "Cuddle From Your Dad" has resonated with so many people. Sonny will be talking about the inspiration behind his poem, how he's being what he wants his kids to see, and why healthy masculinity is something worth celebrating.

We want to hear about the father figures in your life. Who helped shape the person you've become? What lesson, piece of advice or act of kindness has stayed with you over the years.

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
