Keeping you laughing through the night and playing the best selection of tunes, it's Alex. Album & Record of the Week and Lester's & Listener's Library features included also.

Alex is here to keep you entertained with his unique brand of witty chat accompanied by a great selection of tunes. It is Day 4 of National Hidden Talents Week, more ideas for our TV show 'How Can Shania Twain Entertain', and we are discussing ways in which we can extend our recycling habits: waste no more your belly-button fluff, ear-wax, tea-bag foil pouches etc. There is more Pause for Thought at 3.20 and the doors are open again for the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
From Listener's Library there is a new track from Beth Nielsen Chpaman and some vintage Wizzard, while the Listener's Library track is from Ian Hunter. There is another track from Album of the Week by Manic Street Preachers and Record of the Week by Elton John and Leon Russell.
