Manatomy with Danny Wallace & Phil Hilton Manatomy with Danny Wallace & Phil Hilton

Novelist Mike Gayle has forged a career in industries largely populated by women. He’s a former agony uncle, responding for dispensing advice to worried teenage girls, and his bestselling books like Turning 30 and My Legendary Girlfriend explore relationships and manhood in really accessible ways.
Here he talks men, women, pole vaulting, great calves, stallion thighs, lovely fingernails and the day he realised he absolutely definitely needed glasses.

It’s one year of Manatomy! Today, the hugely affable Martin Roberts joins Danny & Phil with an urgent message. Martin is one of daytime TV’s most familiar faces, thanks not just to Homes Under the Hammer, but also his appearances on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and for stripping off for The Real Full Monty.
But what he thought was Long-COVID and took him to the doctor’s turned out to be something else incredibly dangerous, and if he hadn’t sought help he was told he’d have had only minutes to live. What on earth is that like, and where’s he at now?

This guy is an absolute dude. A pop-artist who took up the game after leaving Tesco at 40, he quickly became a favourite of the Gallagher brothers, Arctic Monkeys and more. He can sum up the life of a body with just a few of his brushstrokes - despair, delight, love, angst. But his own body - raised on Sheffield stodge - has given him a few surprises, and in this episode, he tells Danny & Phil about the shock his body one day surprised him with - but which led to more than a little enlightenment.
Talking music, surprise organ transplants, fear, mortality, and the guilt of a total stranger giving you life… it’s the thoughtful and brilliant Pete McKee.
