With Lester's and Listeners' Libraries, the first Half-Time Hooter of the week, Record and Album of the Week and Pause for Thought, all on the Best Time Of The Day Show.

An early morning mix of music & conversation, including the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week. National Failed Attempt Week rolls on with even more tales of shameful and disastrous failures. Our superhero, Butter Man, is back to save the world from The Dreaded Hot Knife and Dr. Dry Toast. Toast is popular on the show today as we also try to find a use for burnt toast: soundless wind chimes and pumice stone substitute are among the winning suggestions. Plus, hear who has been granted admission into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen and Pause for Thought is at 3.20am.

From Lester's Library this morning there are new tracks from We Are Scientists and Alejandro Escovedo, and your choice comes from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, for Listener's Library. Hear another track from Album of the Week by Drizabone Soul Family, and there is another spin of Record of the Week by Lady Antebellum. Miss this show at your peril!
