In a perfect world, Mr. Daniels would have his own drive-time radio program, 
playing pop music between lively banter with guests and callers. But in the 
rapidly consolidating realm of American radio, there are fewer opportunities 
for on-air personalities, especially for disc jockeys with unmistakably 
Scottish accents. 

Mr. Daniels, who was born and raised in Glasgow, can approximate 
Brooklynese, à la Ralph Kramden, but he cannot vanquish his brogue entirely 
for more than a few sentences.
