Time for the first Half Time Hooter of the Week. Expect to be surprised with song choices from Lester's Library and prepare yourself for a night of oddball hilarity with Alex.

It's Wednesday so that means it is time to sound the first Half Time Hooter of the Week. Hear what happened to Alex in the train station toilet, which led to the topic, The Last Bargain on Earth. There are more tales of Inappropriate Anything But Laughing, and we talk Coffee Couture.
Alex delves into his CD library and plays a track from a rare Frank Zappa album, and a new John Butler Trio tune. From the Listener's Library there is 80s rock from Magnum, plus another track from our Album of the Week by Amy MacDonald and Record of the Week from Harper Simon. Pause for Thought is at 3.20am with Becky Lively.
