Liverpool Mural Project invited on to the BBC Radio Merseyside Roger Phillips show

Never far from controversey, invariably compassionate, frequently infuriating, arguably intelligent and above all unique... and that's just 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 phone-in presenter, tackling issues that matter to Merseysiders, Roger's abilities have been recognized on many occaisions. 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. In July 2001 Roger was honoured by both of Liverpool's universites. He was made an honorary doctor of laws by Liverpool University and recieved an honorary fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University.

"It's such an imaginative idea"

"If something like this could happen, that's culture, real culture, it's nothing to do with companies, it's to do with the people."

Roger Phillips, BBC Radio Merseyside
