The Best Time of the Day show with Alex, more laughs and top tunes than you can poke a stick at. Including Record and Album of the Week, and Listener's and Lester's Library tracks.

Tune in for another serving of the show that will simply refuse to let you sleep. On The Best Time of the Day Show this morning's threads; "Rela-telly-tives" - your tales of seeing someone you know in an unexpected place, "Was It Worth The Wait?" - your stories of when you finally got around to doing something, and the debut of "I Christened And You Listened" - inanimate objects you renamed to make them easier to use. There's another track from the Album of the Week courtesy of Elton John & Leon Russell, another spin of Record of the Week from Hurts, plays both for Eels and Drive-By Truckers on Lester's Library, Mark Walters picks a Beatles cover for Listener's Library. Pause for Thought is from Rabbi Y.Y.Rubenstein and more of you are inducted into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen. Plus, great tunes and unpredictable chat to take you through the night or day.
Nobody else, nowhere else.
