Early life
[edit]Stapleton grew up in the suburbs of Adelaide.[1] As a child he attended Kumon due to his "genuine" learning difficulties.[2]
Career
[edit]Stapleton began his radio career aged 14 years old at the Adelaide community radio station Fresh 92.7, where he met Ben Harvey.[3] As a duo, "Ben & Liam" went on to present the breakfast show for Fresh 92.7, compete in the state finals of Raw Comedy, and host a comedy show at the Adelaide Fringe Festival.[1]
In late 2016, Harvey and Stapleton were confirmed to take over from Matt Okine and Alex Dyson as co-hosts of the nationwide Triple J Breakfast show in 2017.[4] They were signed on for another year in the role in 2018.[5] In October 2019, it was announced that Ben and Liam will leave Triple J after three years at the station to return to Adelaide.
In January 2020, Nova Entertainment announced that Stapleton and Harvey will join Nova 91.9 to host breakfast.
In January 2023, the show moved to Nova 100 in Melbourne with producer Belle Jackson joining them and the show will be titled Ben, Liam & Belle.
In February 2024, Nova Entertainment announced that Jase & Lauren will host Nova 100’s new Melbourne breakfast show, replacing Ben, Liam & Belle who will move to a national drive show across the Nova Network.
