Alex Lester - 19/10/2010

It's the only way to keep yourself entertained throughout the night with laugh-out-loud chat and playlist crammed with classic tracks, old and new. Tuesdays just got a whole odder thanks to Alex on The Best Time of the Day Show. There's the usual guarentee of fine music, old and new muddled in between the surreal chat-chat, which includes tales of you seeing someone you know in an enexpected place in "Rela-telly-tives" and stories of when you finally got around to doing something, in "Was It Worth The Wait?" From Lester's Library there's a lost track by Magna Carta and a punk classic from Sham 69. The Listener's Library track is by Elvis Costello. The Record of the Week is from the acclaimed Hurts, and you can hear a track from the new Album of the Week by Elton John & Leon Russell. The 4.15 One-Off Canteen opens for business as usual, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am is with Rabbi Y.Y.Rubenstein. Expect the unexpected with Alex, and you will still be in for a surprise.
