Never
far from controversy, invariably compassionate, frequently
infuriating, arguably intelligent and above all unique.. and
that's just Roger! With a reputation like this it's no wonder

of Merseysiders.

Phillips listening to callers |
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.
