Start the weekend here on The Best Time of the Day Show. Hilarious conversation and brilliant music to entertain you through the small hours. Album & Record of the Week included.

Let Alex kick-start your weekend with Feelgood Friday on The Best Time of the Day Show. There are more Hollywood classics reduced to low-budget Brit-flicks in Alex's studio, From Hollywood to Holyhead; more ridiculous rating systems in the thread, "Funella Scales"; more radio-friendly pretend expletives in the final day of National Curse Week; more Pause for Thought at 3.20am; more newcomers into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen. It's the show which keeps on giving more.
From Lester's Library there is a track from new band, Pull in Emergency, and one from Creedence Clearwater Revival, while the Listener's Library track is a funky gospel track from Sounds of Blackness. You can also hear one more track from the Album of the Week by Goo Goo Dolls and Record of the Week from KT Tunstall. Nobody else, nowhere else.
