148 – Grace Petrie

Grace Petrie is a socialist, feminist, lesbian singer-songwriter whose political songs place a fire in my heart and whose love songs break my heart. She’s brilliant and I feel very lucky to have her on this show.

In this chat I ask Grace about being labelled a “protest singer”, her agenda when it comes to her music, the importance of representation, Hannah Gadsby, trans rights, battling with TERFs and Jeremy Corbyn.

Plus at the end she bloody sings a song for us! It is great!
