With music and conversation. Includes Alex's personal choice of tracks in Lester's Library, your chance to get a tune played in the Listeners' Library feature and Pause for Thought.

Alex, Radio 2's Dark Lord of the early mornings, presents his interactive blend of music and unique wit. Also on the Best Time of the Day Show, Alex raids his record collection for something new, or downright surprising - from Lester's Library and there's one from you in the Listeners' Library.

There's also the second Half-Time Hooter of The Week and you can check out Alex's new "oddcast" by visiting bbc.co.uk/radio2.
