If I like Ken Bruce on Radio 2, who else will I like?

I’ve always listened to Radio 1 but I might have to finally admit I’m getting old (in my 40’s) as I’ve finally progressed to Radio 2! I like Ken Bruce, I don’t like the other regular daytime presenters that I’ve tried, but is there anyone else I might like? I like Ken’s soothing Scottish tones, there’s not too much chat and there’s a good mix of music. Any other less regular presenters I might like or other station segments?

I loved Shaun Keavney in the morning on radio 6. Never listen to him much now since he moved to afternoon. Sad to read he's leaving 😩

@GoddamReylos Fellow popmaster fan here. I was in a couple of years ago and won a digital radio.

OP, probably not very popular in here but I love Gary Davies' Sounds of the 80s.

@xsquared I’m not a fan of Gary D but I love the music he plays on Sounds of the 80’s.
I remember coming back home late a while ago (around midnight) and Ana Matronic was on. The music she played was awesome

Oh and congrats on winning the popmaster- have been dithering for about 5 years whether to send my details!

@MeanMrMustardSeed thanks I knew I’d get validation here Wink

@xsquared amazing! I’m not brave enough to enter. My 70’s knowledge is dire. I either answer “1973” for the year or “T-Rex”!

This morning I’ve been listening to yesterday’s Radio Scotland with Bryan Burnett, thanks for that rec PP seems just the right amount of chat to music for me!

Loads more to try thanks for all the suggestions. Johnnie Walker and Tony Blackburn I’ve been meaning to try. Frank Skinner I love, lots more chat though so that’s more one I listen to when I can listen rather than background while I’m working which I’ve found Ken is perfect for (stop for Popmaster obv, well done PP on 24!) I love Vanessa but again more chat than I want for background, would Robert Elms be the same? Jason Manford I’m not keen on, will give the other suggestions a try though!
