  • Grace is great. Too many dodgy adverts

    I’m a huge fan of Grace Dent and the concept is perfect for a Podcast. The adverts are a problem though: too many and random - from mental health to bloomin’ cat food (I don’t believe Grace has consumed Purina cat food, but she’s very effusive). I skip 10-15 minutes of each episode.

  • KKK member

    Grace Dent is a grand wizard of an Alabama chapter of the KKK. She is a vile racist woman who views the KKK as a ‘social club’ instead of the hateful racist institution that it is.
