Manatomy with Danny Wallace & Phil Hilton

Radio star Stephanie Hirst joins Danny and Phil to talk about body image, double lives - and the trip she took to South Korea to literally find her voice.
TW: There is talk of a very dark period in her life in which she contemplated the worst. But this is also a fun and funny chat with someone very happy to be where they are.

JOHN AMAECHI OBE: “My mother told me: People will be scared of you.”

This guy. John Amaechi is fantastic. The psychologist and former NBA star sits down with Danny & Phil to discuss what it is to be a broad, powerful, 6’9” Black man in a world of tiny people. He talks with great care about the responsibilities his body brings with it, standing out, and having incredible physical power but being careful never to use it. As the first openly gay player in the NBA, he’s a man who can talk openly and wisely about almost anything - and we certainly learned a lot.

JON RONSON: “Crouching, fearful perverts.”

The peerless journalist and author Jon Ronson’s distinctive voice has caused him more problems than you might think, particularly when it comes to calling out loud for his cat. He also tells Danny and Phil about teenage angst, weight gain, the beauty of youth, wearing hats to remain invisible as a man who wants to blend in, and the self-confidence of the American porn stars he spent three years studying (for work).
