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 Libraries.
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 there are more tales of grooms in leather kilts and brides on stilts in Wacky Wedding Wishes, more pongs of the past in Scent of the Century and, new for today, we are re-branding something very horrid as a desirable creature to be embraced with open arms; we are Spinning Slugs. Yes. Slugs. By the end of the show you won't be able to stop yourself from adopting a family of them as pets. Plus, more Pause for Thought at 3.20am and the doors for the 4.15 One-Off Canteen are open once more.
There are two new tracks from Lester's Library, one from Lucinda Williams and one from Asa, while your selection from the Listener's Library comes from Muse. There is another track from Album of the Week by Sugarland, and there's another chance to hear Record of the Week by brilliant new group, Wonderland. Nobody else, nowhere else.
