With conversation and music. Alex delves into his own record collection to pick something new or obscure from Lester's Library and one listener picks a track in Listeners' Library.

Alex brings his own combination of music and conversation to early weekday mornings, making this The Best Time Of The Day Show. Popular features include the Listeners' Library, where you choose the music, and a double-selection from Alex's own collection in Lester's Library. Plus, you can download the "oddcast" - that's Alex's brand new podcast - by following the links at bbc.co.uk/radio 2.
