David Sheppard
Originally from Berkshire, David has an obsession with his new home county that stems way back.
A self-confessed lover of all things on wheels, he owns a vintage Devon bus, as well as what he describes as "various lumps of the county's transport history".
All legitimately acquired, of course.
Since joining the BBC in 2002, David's voice has been bounced off transmitters in most corners of southern England and at most times of the day and night.
David's also appeared in some unlikely places, or at least his voice has.
For example as the invisible compere for Timmy Mallett's UK roadshow, as well as the voice of Richard Hammond's car radio on BBC Television's Top Gear.
His utter dependence on coffee was exposed and decaffeinated in BBC2's The Truth About Food in 2006. -
Jo Loosemore
Jo grew up in Torquay so has always had a fascination with the bright coloured lights that sparkle along the English Riviera.
Although Jo's first jobs were theatrical - dressing up as Robbie the Rabbit and appearing and disappearing with a local magician - they didn't quite offer the glamour of BBC Radio Devon.
You may well have seen Jo on stage in South Devon.
She's appreared as a series of summery Shakespearean heroines in Dartington, as well as a flying, but non-singing, Peter Pan in Torquay.
Rumour has it that the scenery has yet to recover from the impact - and it's rare to see her wearing green these days.
"I remember being swung what seemed like hundreds of feet above the stage - never again," said Jo.
"Although I loved the stage fighting I'm not sure I could kill a crocodile - or a pirate for that matter - but Captain Hook certainly met his match." -
