Spend the night with Alex on the Best Time of the Day Show for hilarious converastion and an eclectic mix of tunes. Album & Record of the Week and Pause for Thought included also.

It's time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week on The Best Time of the Day Show with the one and only Dark Lord, Alex Lester. This morning, we are exploring the possibilities of taking our work tools home with us: a Lollipop lady could toss pancakes from a distance with her worktool! We are still talking to vegetables in the thread, Interview with the Vegetable, and Alex opens the doors to the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
On the music front, the Lester's Library tracks come from new rock band, Airbourne, and a track from Sharon Shannon and Carol Keogh. The Listener's Library track comes from Eels. There is another track from Album of the Week by Oasis and Record of the Week from I Am Kloot. Pause for Though is at 3.20am.
