Manatomy with Danny Wallace & Phil Hilton

PETE MCKEE: “I’m aware I’ve had the full benefit of someone passing.”

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 &amp; Phil about the shock his body one day surprised him with - but which led to more than a little enlightenment.<br/>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.<br/>Get in touch and have a great day. And please do consider leaving a review!<br/>Don’t forget you can subscribe to our twice-weekly newsletter, packed with stories and useful stuff, at manatomy.co.uk.

Manatomy is a place where well-known men talk honestly about their bodies. It’s not about getting thinner or fitter or putting on muscle – it’s about being funny and honest. We cover secret vanities, bizarre insecurities, muscle, fat, broken bones, damaged pride and the magnetic appeal of cheese. You will laugh, gasp and feel part of a warm awkward, human family.
