The Best Time of the Day show with Alex, more laughs and top tunes than you can poke a stick at. Record and Album of the Week, as well as Listener's and Lester's Libraries.

Tune in for another serving of the show that will simply refuse to let you sleep. On the Best Time of the Day Show this morning we are thinking of ways in which we can make sport more appealing to youngsters: extra time for updating statuses and chatting on mobiles is an option. Plus, more ridiculous daily routines in "System Addict", Pause for Thought at 3.20 with Tim Turvey and more inductees into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen. Brace yourselves!
From Lester's Library there is a new track from Amos Lee, and smoe vintage jazz from Lee Ritenour, while your Listener's Library selection comes from Waylon Jennings. There is also another track from Album of the Week by Clare Maguire and Record of the Week from Emin. Nobody else, nowhere else.
