It's Feelgood Friday with Alex on the Best Time of the Day Show, the best way to start the weekend with brilliant music and hilarious chat. Including Album and Record of the Week.

It's the best way to start your weekend, tune into Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. Keeping you away from the land of nod, expect Alex to play only the best selection of music interspersed with hilarious conversation. This morning, Alex takes suggestions on how to modernise sport to attract younger people; extra time for updating statuses and hangovers, perhaps? More Pause for Thought with Tim Turvey, and the final opening for the week for the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
From Lester's Library there are new tracks from Jeff Beck and Patrick Wolf, while the Listener's Library track selected by you comes from Ace of Base. There is also another track from Album of the Week by Clare Maguire and Record of the Week from Emin. All of this and more daftness than you can shake something daft at. Buffoons are go!
