Alex will entertain you through the night with his offbeat conversation topics and an eclectic playlist featuring 2 songs from Lester's Library and one from the Listener's Library.

More of Alex's unique brand of entertainment on The Best Time of the Day Show. The Lexicon of Lester continues to grow, find out which new words are posing no threat whatsoever to the English language, but are causing a good old laugh in Buffoon Town. The topic of Inappropriate Laughing has moved onto Inappropriate Anything But Laughing: sneezing, stomach growling and knocking yourself out on the door-frame. Courtesy of Fred Slippage yesterday, we are also talking Offspring in the Office; it always seems like a nice idea to bring the kids into work....

From Lester's Library there are tracks from rockers Airbourne and classic gospel from Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and from the Listener's Library there is a forgotten gem from The Seekers. Hear another track from our Album of the Week by Amy MacDonald, our Record of the Week from Paul's son, Harper Simon, and Pause for Thought with Becky Lively. Nobody else, nowhere else.
