Second day of a radio story themed week in which Alex recounts an early public relations disaster.

This week we're dipping back into Alex's illustrious radio career to dig out some high and lowlights, starting with the unfortunate story of a lost soul at sea on a listener trip.

Being 'slightly in the public eye,' as Alex muses, requires a thick skin. You'll always find someone who's keen to share their truth about you.

Today Alex wonders whether it's time to embark upon a little body art. The pros and cons of tattoos and what messages people dare ink upon their bodies.

Really, how difficult is it to get a regular flight from Munich to Manchester? Apparently not on Alex's pay grade.

Alex had this genius idea of the classic nobbly knees contest, but would it work on radio. Well, the BBC said yes, but no, but yes, but no. Fortunately the late great Terry Wogan came to the rescue.

What have we unleashed? An Alex Lester who can tell you the things he was never permitted to at the BBC! A free spirited episode today, just make sure you don't listen in front of kids, grandmothers and cute pug puppies.

Today it's a kind of recipe episode. Anyone for Tuna flakes?

If you don't want to be ripped to shreds by your local Grizzly Bear, then you need Troy Hurtubise. What ever happened to Troy and for that matter his suits?

It's incredible what Alex is happy to share. A tale of honesty, the truth at last.
