Tune in for Alex's unique take on life interspersed with a great selection of tunes including Record and Album of the Week plus Lester's and Listener's Library features.
If you are looking for a reason not to go to sleep, then look no further; the Best Time of the Day show is here to keep you entertained through the night with a great selection of music and Alex's witty chat. This morning, Alex asks 'When Have You Pulled the Wool Over the Eyes of the Young', have you seen someone take a funny photo in "Snap, Cackle and What?" and there's Fred Slippage in "Your Native American Name". It's all about the bright side on the dark side of the day. There's a chance to get inducted into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am. From Lester's Library there's some country noodling from Asleep At The Wheel and some rock thanks to Twisted Sister. The Listener's Library track is an underplayed Steely Dan track courtesy of Julia Davey from Lincolnshire. There is another song from the Album of the Week by Lindisfarne, plus a play for the Record of the Week from Bryan Ferry. Buffoons are go!
