Start the week the Alex Lester way on the Best Time of the Day Show. There's a new Album and Record of the Week plus more surprising choices from Lester's and Listener's Libraries.

The best way to start the week is with The Best Time of the Day Show with the Lord of all things dark, Alex Lester. There will be a track from the new Album of the Week, the first play of our new Record of the Week, plus expect some unexpected song choices as Alex delves into his CD collection, and also selects a track from the Listener's Library. Once you have tuned into this show, the night will never be the same again. And beware: the Drum of Pun could go off at any time.
