The Best Time Of The Day Show, with Lester's and the Listeners' Library features, Record and Album of the Week and Pause for Thought. Take a walk on the daft side.
Alex brings his own combination of music and conversation to early weekday mornings, making this The Best Time Of The Day Show. This morning, disaster hits the show: there is no text system running! Will Alex squirm? Will he be lost for words? Nope! He turns it into a thread called "The Show Must Go On". National Trash Week continues and there are more acronyms on offer to make life easier in the thread L.U.M.A.F.A.B.L.E. - Let's Use More Acronyms For A Better Life, Eh? There is another stampede of newcomers into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and more Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
Lester's Library this morning features tracks from 2 new artists: 24 Pesos and The Agitator, while the Listener's Library goes back to 1961 for a track from Jimmy Dean. Hear another track from Album of the Week by Sheryl Crow, and another chance to hear Record of the Week from I Am Arrows.
