Nathan Cooper

A co-founder of Bucks Radio, Nathan has been the voice of Bucks for over 20 years, first getting behind a mic in Aylesbury in 1997. 

During that time, he's moved twice on Watermead, and then to Bierton, where he now lives with "Mini-Cooper" (although with teenage years looming, we're not sure we can call her that anymore!). Regular listeners to a previous radio station in Aylesbury may well remember that his wife, and Mini-Coopers mother, Becky, died of cancer in 2013. Since then Nathan has been a regular supporter of the Florence Nightingale Hospice, and was honoured to host their 30th Anniversary Gala at Waddesdon Manor in 2019.

He is also patron of Animal Antiks, a North Bucks charity that provides opportunities young people to achieve and learn new skills, depending on their needs.

Away from radio he relaxes by travelling the length and breadth of the country every weekend working on...radio, in his role as football commentator, and he's also the tannoy announcer at Oxford United, a job he's been doing since even before he starting broadcasting in Bucks (yes, he was still at school when he started at the football club!)

Join Nathan each weekday from 10 for the latest news across Bucks. There's also Friars Friday every week, where he showcases an artist who played in Aylesbury during the Friars years. If you've got any memories of Friars, or anything else you want to tell Nathan about, you can drop him a line using the form below.
