Keep yer hair on! Gahh!! What really gets your goat, grates on your nerves or makes you tear at your hair in frustration? Loads of things!! Well calm down dear, there’s no need to get all steamed up – not on your own at least. Whatever you views on the topics of the day, Roger Philips on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio Merseyside is the person to call. Never far from controversy, invariably compassionate, frequently infuriating, arguably intelligent and above all unique… that's Roger! With a reputation like this it's no wonder Roger's phone-in is essential daily listening for thousands of Merseysiders. Regarded by many as the country's top 'devil's advocate', Roger Phillips has the unenviable task of getting callers to defend their views. "Everyone has an opinion about everything and we're never short of people who want to express their views on the phone-in ... they are definitely never backward in coming forward on Merseyside!"
Roger has lived and worked on Merseyside since the early 1970's. Before he began presenting the Radio Merseyside Lunchtime Phone-in programme, he had a variety of jobs, from a salesman for a graphic designer, to an actor in the West End and Liverpool's Everyman Theatre.
Award winning......
Tackling issues that matter to Merseysiders, Roger's broadcasting abilities have been recognized on many occasions. He is the winner of countless awards, most notably the Gold Sony Award Winner for 'News And Talk Broadcaster Of The Year 2000', National Union Of Journalists Broadcaster Of The Year and BT's National Broadcaster Of the Year.
