Do you love speech radio? Would you like to lead our team on BBC Radio Scotland's biggest reaching radio programme - Mornings with Kaye Adams / Stephen Jardine. This live weekday show includes an hour's phone-in, delves into the topical stories behind the news, profiles interesting Scots and aims to bring a sense of fun and entertainment to our listeners' mornings.
