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.

Thoughtful and erudite comic Mark Watson has put his body through a lot over the years. Whether it’s adrenaline, stress, panic or literally ending up near-starving on a desert island eating snails.
Here he talks with Danny & Phil about booze, self-criticism, fear, losing control, anxiety, confidence, doubt and so much more. It’s a great chat with a man who, like a lot of men and women, maybe needs to forgive himself more.

The brilliant journalist and author Sam Delaney is also the brains behind the excellent The Reset podcast and newsletter. Why The Reset? Because Sam had to do just that.
In this episode, he talks just as frankly but always as entertainingly as he writes, about booze, drugs, addiction, anxiety, hair loss, and the trip to IKEA that went very wrong indeed.
It all sounds like A Lot, but Sam is such great company that it flies by. Our thanks to him.
Check out The Reset at https://samdelaney.substack.com/ if you feel like any of the issues raised need a friend to help you talk it through.

We talk about things we’ve never talked about on the show before, thanks to record-setting LBC broadcaster and journalist James O’Brien, whose article on the shock of realising you may be close to infertile has helped very many men.
Elsewhere, he talks his own adoption and the strange feeling of not knowing who you’re growing up to look like, the toxic men so many ‘posh’ schools pump out, hair loss, bad knees, and shaking hands with the men at the sperm place.

Not many male models are known by name, but David Gandy is definitely one of the few. Britain’s highest-earning male model is globally recognised and constantly in demand - ever since *that* Dolce & Gabbana shoot that saw every single inch of him take over Times Square.

He made it to Britain in 2004, and is now Associate Fellow at the Human Security Centre. He also likes his fish and chips.

In one of our favourite episodes, the critically-acclaimed writer Tony Schumacher talks honestly and hilariously of the thousand lives he’s lived. From growing up as an initially non-speaking, non-cute kid - “I looked like a Kinder egg with long arms” - to the decade of long nights he spent driving around Liverpool as a police first responder, Tony’s experiences are visceral, exciting, traumatic - but delivered with an easy, laid-back wit you’ll love.
The former council tip worker and roofer - now creator of hit BBC show The Responder - talks long limbs, third nipples, and physical fights with men in their underwear. But also the absolute exhaustion so many on the frontline must eventually feel.
