2012 to focus on running his Wisebuddah company. Goodier was a frequent stand-in on BBC Radio 2 when regular presenters are on leave. From 27 February to 2 July 2016 he presented Pick of the Pops on a temporary basis following the dismissal of Tony Blackburn, before Paul Gambaccini took over as the permanent presenter. In addition, he still is a voiceover artist for television adverts which promote new compact disc-formatted albums, in particular the Now That's What I Call Music! UK series, of which he has been "the voice" since Now 21 in early 1992, along with the exception of Now 95 in November 2016, where he was temporarily replaced by television presenter Matt Edmondson due to Goodier having suffered a stroke around that time. Goodier has also hosted the annual Blackpool Illuminations Switch on Concert for two years on Real Radio and Smooth Radio. In June 2012, Goodier joined Spectrum FM, the English language music station in the Costa del Sol, Spain, to present a weekly Saturday morning show. He is a Fellow of The Radio Academy. On 17 November 2016, Goodier suffered a stroke aged 55, which prevented him from voicing the official television adverts for Now That's What I Call Music! 95 (UK), which were instead voiced by Matt Edmondson. As of November 2020, he has made "an incredible" recovery and is currently broadcasting on Greatest Hits Radio Monday to Friday as well as Sunday.
