Alternator fqd?

Last coupla times Ive went to get my car out the battery has been dead. When I take it a good spin and switch the car off, it'll start again, but one time I sat with the radio on for an hour and it wouldnt start again, and if the car sits a few days it wont start either.

Normally Id just change the battery, but seeing as theirs been a few 'nator failures here, is there any other signs / ways of checking?
