It's Half-Time Hooter time on The Best Time of the Day Show with Alex which means even more stupidity and top tunes to take you through the night. Album and Record of the Week also.

It's Wednesday which means it is time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week; even more inspired daftness and brilliant music from the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. This morning his mind is filled with school play traumas and wimpy fairgrounds. There is more from Album and Record of the Week from Alan Pownall and Rumer, 2 more selections - an Acid Jazz revival and a new artist covering a classic from Alex's personal CD collection, Lester's Library, and some Terrorvision from the Listener's Library belonging to Geoff from Holmes, plus Pause for Thought at 3.20am. Nobody else, nowhere else.
