Sunday Presenters

Sean Styles and Willie Miller, both local comedians, brighten up your Sunday mornings with fun and laughter.

From the Curly Quiz to Staying Alive the phone lines to Radio Merseyside are jammed every Sunday with callers attempting to answer the quizzes or asking for dedications.

Sean and Willie both feel that their comedic backgrounds are a great grounding for radio, for them the best part of the show is the feedback they get from their listeners. Sean Styles says “You just couldn’t script some of the things listeners come up with when they ring in. Some of the guesses for Celebrity Crooner are so off the wall you often wonder how some people’s minds work.”

Sean Styles

Sean says comedy has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. He reckons his first audience was probably at the Doctors when he did ‘the twist’ in the waiting room. This continued through his schooldays when he’d entertain classmates with impressions of teachers an attitude to authority figures that continued well into his working life in numerous factories.

Sean’s passions in life are varied some of which clash with his partner Willie’s “I hate spiders, I love chocolate ice cream, red shoes and Everton FC.”

“I love reading, but not fiction. I once tried to read ‘The Thirty Nine Steps’ but got fed up after the first two flights!”

Willie Miller

Willie is a big Liverpool FC fan with a passion for ‘pound shops’ – he loves to mooch around for hours and buy lots of useless junk he’ll never use.

Willie insists that Sean and himself really do make each other laugh and that nothing in the programme is scripted, even the parts that aren’t broadcast. He admits to being terrified of leaving the mic on when it shouldn’t be, “We would be sacked!” he laughs. “We do have a laugh in between records, I once did a whole show in my underpants just to wind Sean up.”

Willie would like to continue presenting as long as the listeners want him to “I enjoy the atmosphere at the station.” he says “And it’s great to say that you work for the BBC.”
