SCOTTEE: “I got Fat Panic!”

Artist, writer and “big fat Mary on a bike” Scottee is our guest this week - and what a guest. He talks with wit and wisdom about weight, growing up in poverty and why his therapist should be paying him. It’s a fantastic and comfortably uncomfortable chat which opened Danny & Phil’s eyes. TW: In amongst the laughs, Scottee also talks about some pretty dark things that happened to him. Includes mentions of sexual abuse, homophobia and violent acts.
