This podcast is a lovely combination of talking about issues associated with shame in a candid way, whilst having great guests and lots of laughs too. Read more about the condition Very Good: A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition.

This is a podcast about all the things that we are made to feel ashamed of, but should instead be embracing, and no one knows that better than Grace. The Seattle Times: "The vainglorious Gerald is a wonderfully cranky narrator and the book's satirical-outrage factor sometimes reaches Borat-like heights. Following on from this, Grace launched The Disgraceful Club, a stand-up night in Soho for female and LGBTQ+ comedians which has one mission: to encourage people to own their shame.On top of that, she’s at a point in her life where she just doesn’t give a shit anymore about playing up to other people’s expectations at the expense of her mental health. Hamilton-Paterson, one of our finest prose stylists, is a national treasure; and Amazing Disgrace [.
