David Cooper is a human train wreck and Canadian living in New York City. His extensive broadcasting credentials include having his interview requests denied by celebrities, world leaders, and restroom attendants.

After growing up in Toronto, David fled to San Francisco where he was introduced to radio almost by accident: While dabbling in stand-up comedy, David wandered into a radio station to promote one of his shows. Something terrible clicked that day and there was no turning back.

Since 2016, David has hosted various radio shows on independent stations around San Francisco, including a wacky call-in program (visible from a coffee shop window). His experiment with a phone booth in the desert was showcased in an NPR episode (long story). And at the end of 2020, David quit his lucrative career as a software engineer to pursue radio opportunities full-time “like an idiot” (a direct quote from his overbearing Jewish mother). Addressing David's mother directly in a 2022 interview, the former mayor of Toronto stated that he's proud of David for his minor contributions to overnight radio.

David's on-air style oscillates between frenzied comedy and confession-booth sincerity, blurring the lines between his personal relationships and on-air ones in a way both intimate and (arguably) intrusive. David can be heard on his nationally syndicated radio show, The Last Show with David Cooper that airs on Corus Entertainment's talk radio network; doing the occasional guest spot on WFMU in New York/New Jersey; and every year in the Nevada Desert on Burning Man Information Radio (BMIR) 94.5 FM, where he has interviewed everyone from stripper-clowns to George Stroumboulopoulos.
