Let Alex guide you through the small hours with his blend of unique humour and fantastic music. Includes Record and Album of the Week, plus Lester's and Listener's Library tracks.

Spend the night with the Dark Lord, who will be keeping you laughing with his witty conversation interspersed with a great mix of music. This morning, Alex is searching for ideas for his dads' impending 84th birthday; last year, he got him a snorkel. There are more "Myths of the Mind"; all of those hideous things we were told as kids so that we did as we were told. More "Predictive Chat" and, new for today, "Is Your House a Soap?" Pause for Thought comes in at 3.20a.m. and there are more newcomers in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
From Lester's Library there is a new track from Lady Antebellum and some 90s indie-rock from The Dandy Warhols, while your Listener's Library choice comes from Me'shell Ndegeocello. There is another track from Album of the Week by Caro Emerald and you can also hear the Record of the Week from Jamiroquai. Nobody else, nowhere else.
