About this deal

From the first encounter, when Grace pleasures herself, to the wild drug and drink fuelled nights of one night stands, as well as her journey learning to love herself, vagina included. 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.

An outpouring of truth, wit, and beautiful comedic wisdom from the hilarious and laudably liberated Grace Campbell. As I am also in my 20s, she speaks about things that are crazily relatable, and the feminist angle to her comedy is on point. Set both in Tuscany and in the trendy haunts of London, this is the hilarious sequel to Cooking with Fernet Branca.

The only part that I found dragged a bit was around the opening chapters when she talks about her childhood hatred for Tony Blair a lot, which feels a bit aimless and isn't something many people (nobody? At only 26, Grace has got a lot to learn about being an adult, but she’s already got a lot to share about being a disgrace, and how she came to be utterly, disgustingly, disgracefully proud of it.

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. Amelia Dimoldenberg For as long as she can remember, Grace Campbell has been told that she doesn't suit her name. Like Grace, and many other women, I had a complicated relationship with my body growing up and I fell foul to many social pressures. I absolutely love Grace, but I put off reading this for a little while because I was apprehensive that it would scream privilege and be vastly unrelatable.A really enjoyable read overall though, exactly what I needed as a break from some of the other heavier political / thriller genres I am reading alongside. Ummmm, I don't wanna say I didn't enjoy it because there were plenty of moments that really resonated with me and also I laughed out loud at, but I duno. Things like her right to privacy or her relationships with her parents, which were inevitably strained by the bucktoothed allure of Blair. But I now think that's because I had a harder time relating to (dis)Grace in her younger teenage years (be it because of difference in personal experiences, societal, cultural.

Grace breaks that barrier by speaking openly about her shame of her own body, how her sexual experiences helped shaped her as well as covering topics such as STD's, sex education, porn and consent.She is a chaotic force of nature and a committed over-sharer who is on a constant, often hilarious, mission to undermine the patriarchy. Just because I know there are people out there with more privilege than me doesn’t mean I don’t have to acknowledge the power structures that I’ve benefited from… Checking your privilege is a good first step, but saying that isn’t enough. Amazing Disgrace is the fourth album by the Seattle alternative rock band the Posies, released in 1996.
