With Lester's and Listeners' Libraries, the first Half-Time Hooter of the week, Record and Album of the Week and Pause for Thought, all on the Best Time of the Day Show.

An early morning mix of music and conversation, including the first Half-Time Hooter of The Week. National Trash Week continues with even more horror stories of items mistakenly binned. We offer some more acronyms to help you make a point faster, and in the new thread, "My Heart Sank When..." there are some tales of gut-wrenching disappointment, shock and daftness. The 4.15 One-Off Canteen opens its doors once again and Pause for Thought comes in at 3.20am.
On the music front, Alex plays new tracks from The Jokers and Tinashe for Lester's Library, and there is a Belinda Carlisle ballad selected by you for the Listener's Library track. There is another track from Album of the Week by Sheryl Crow, plus another spin of Record of the Week by the brilliant I Am Arrows. Nobody else, nowhere else.
