Even though Scott often names his team on-air in passing, the full picture of who actually builds the Radio 2 Breakfast Show is rarely laid out anywhere. Based on what’s known publicly, here’s a rundown of the key people shaping the show every morning.
🎛️ Patrick Thomas – Producer
Patrick is one of the show’s main producers and has openly talked about being part of the launch team. In fact, he revealed that the very early stages of building the Radio 2 Breakfast Show happened “in a literal BBC cupboard” with colleague Ben Stones, starting with nothing but a blank sheet of paper. He’s heavily involved in shaping content, tone, and running the production backbone of the programme.
🎛️ Ben Stones – Producer
Ben is another key producer on the show, with a long BBC track record in station sound and creative production.
