The Half-Time Hooter's here on the Best Time of the Day Show, which means even more stupidity and top tunes to take you through the night. With Album and Record of the Week.

It's Wednesday, which means it is time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week; even more inspired daftness and brilliant music from the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. There is more from Album and Record of the Week, two more selections from Alex's personal CD collection, Lester's Library, and one of your chosen tracks from the Listener's Library, plus Pause for Thought at 3.20am. Nobody else, nowhere else.
