Tune in for Alex's unique take on life interspersed with a great selection of tunes including Record & Album of the Week and Lester's & Listener's Library features also.

If you are looking for a reason not to go to sleep, then look no further; The Best Time of the Day show is here to keep you entertained through the night with a great selection of music and Alex's witty chat. This morning there are more shameful tales of taking those forbidden 40 winks in, "I Fell Asleep While..." Relive those moments when everything you had ever known was operating in reverse, and Alex has a few suggestions on how to make long sports much more compact. The 4.15 One-Off Canteen opens its doors again and Pause for Thought is on at 3.20am.
From Lester's Library there are tracks from Elvin Bishop and Sandy Denny, and your choice from the Listener's Library is from The Marshall Tucker Band. There is another chance to hear Record of the Week from Tone Damli, and another track from Album of the Week by Rumer. Nobody else, nowhere else.
