Before his current run on the radio, Miller was offered a job at Channel 4's Big Breakfast,[1] but turned down the offer because of his love for the radio. Miller first appeared on BBC Radio Solent in 1994 as a traffic reporter on the station's morning slot. His late show is broadcast to six stations, reaching much of the South of England:
The Paul Miller Show is primarily phone-in based, with callers contributing to a number of topics each evening.
The show is produced from Monday to Friday by Bob Diggles. On Friday evenings, the show used to be known as the Friday Night Party and was produced by Talia Slack, who is no longer a presenter of the show.
Miller previously presented a special music request edition of his show called The Music Club on Sunday evenings and, in September 2003, presented an outside broadcast of this show from the BBC Music Library in London. The success of this show has led to an annual repeat.
He now also presents the Paul Miller Soul Show from 5:00pm on a Sunday through the BBC Surrey Station.
Miller attended Whitton School in Twickenham. Before working in a shop owned by his uncle, he worked as a croupier and as a nightclub DJ. He used to own a caravan near Bognor beach, and was often teased by listeners for his holidays in his caravan. He has also been teased about his Citroën 2CV which he previously drove, and he now jokes that he drives an "Allepri" (a cut-and-shut version of an Austin Allegro and a Ford Capri). His 2CV was featured in the opening sequence of the BBC television broadcast Antiques Road Show, and it was borrowed by the makers for this purpose.
Miller "does not 'do' ironing", and is highly skilled in aromatherapy – possessing an eclectic selection of oils. He once did an outside broadcast from his oils factory, and even gave some away to lucky listeners.
