Taking over from Alex on The Best Time of the Day Show is the lovely Lynn Parsons who will be entertaining you with chat and great music. Pause for Thought at 3.20am.

While The Dark Lord is sunning himself in the USA, Lynn Parsons takes over The Best Time of the Day Show, and if anybody can keep you awake through the night, it is Lynn. This morning, Lynn is talking rediscovering lost loves, souvenirs and green hair! Songs from Lynn's Chalet this morning come from Incognito and Alice Watts, while the Listener's Library choice is a Neil Young classic. There is another track from Album of the Week by Renee Fleming and another spin of Record of the Week by new artist, Tiffany Page. All of this, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am from Y.Y. Rubinstein.
