About this listen

Grits and a Brit is a transatlantic comedy of errors. She grew up saying “y’all” and frying anything that didn’t run away; he swears a cup of tea fixes nearly everything—except Mondays, which demand two. She says cookie, he insists it’s a biscuit. Chips or fries? Somehow they’re both right and very wrong. It's a podcast where a Southern-born GRITS (Girl Raised In The South) and her British co-host unravel the absurd, endearing, and endlessly confusing quirks of US and UK culture—expect sass, mistranslations, and spirited arguments over everything from colour with a U to gravy on biscuits.Grits and a Brit Podcast

    Feb 3 2026

    It’s Super Bowl time… and the Brit is deeply unprepared. In this episode, our Southern GRITS attempts to explain America’s biggest sporting event to a man who thinks a “quarter” is a coin, a “down” is a mood, and isn’t entirely sure why the game stops every five seconds. From baffling rules and team names to halftime shows and snack strategy, this is Super Bowl week through very confused British eyes. Expect wrong assumptions, confident nonsense, and plenty of laughs as American football meets British bewilderment.
