The '''Monday Night Album Club''' is a regular, recurring feature on the [[Community Garden Radio Discord]] server and [[Community Garden Radio]]. It is hosted and produced by [[Tuftii]], with co-production from Moo the Cat. The show is broadcasted live from 'Tuftii Towers'. Listeners are invited to listen along in the Discord server and on Patreon. The show is uploaded to Patreon for catch-up.


The club ran from 7pm GMT/BST until the 26th September 2022 when it was moved an hour later as part of a trial run.

[[File:Albumclub.jpg|thumb|Tuftii Towers, where the show is broadcasted from every week.]]
During [[episode 022]], [[Shaun Keaveny|Shaun]] invited listeners to listen to Innervisions by Stevie Wonder. Inspired by [[Tim Burgess]] and his listening parties on Twitter, Tuftii set up a channel on the Discord server and invited to listen along with the album. Its popularity led to the creation of the Album Club, playing an album every week.

On January 2, 2023, the album club made its broadcasting debut on [[Community Garden Radio]], broadcasting live at 7pm GMT as part of the expansion of the Garden. The [[Monday Night Album Club 038|38th episode]] saw the introduction of People's Penultimate Pick where listeners were given the opportunity to suggest the second to last track to be broadcasted, with the host choosing the best suggestion. [[Monday Night Album Club 039|Episode 039]] introduced Tuftii's Tail End Track officially, a track which the host chooses to finish the show with.
