I assume I come in a long line of David Coopers, right?
A union rep.
Rep.
Student.
I mean, it's not a bad assessment of it.
Yeah, we play lots of really uplifting music that's, you know, sort of championed by or aimed at or even by music.
the LGBTQ plus community I've got guests on there I've got my lovely producer Bella who keeps me vaguely in check and yeah it's all just about reflecting back the world as it is at the moment which can be quite a challenge sometimes for LGBTQ plus people you know there's a lot of people who are going to
come for our rights and you know sort of dim our light and what have you so for a lot of what I do it's about finding the joy in the morning and I've just got honestly I know a lot of people in radio say this but I really do have the best listeners in the world I absolutely adore them
No, I have the best listeners.
I'll be honest with you.
I didn't really ever set out to be a radio presenter, much to the dismay of a lot of people who have been plugging away for years and make it their whole life.
I'm a DJ by trade.
So I've always been a DJ since about the age of 18, 19 in the clubs around the UK.
I've traveled a fair bit as well.
And then I ended up getting involved with Gadeo on like a volunteer basis just because they needed somebody to produce some music shows.
So as a DJ and a music producer, I knew how to do that and, you know, sort of make stuff sound cool.
And they said after a little bit, oh, you should maybe like try presenting.
And I said, no, I'm not really interested.
I'm not really too fussed about that.
I think I tried doing a demo.
