About

Hello! We are Grace Krause and Marie Bates, two lovers of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. We host the podcast Pints With Chesterton which you can subscribe to via iTunes, Spotify, or manually subscribe to our RSS feed.

Grace Krause is seeking to marry a man with the last name Chesterton. The odds of this just happening to work out are… unlikely, but the joke would be worth it, no?

In the meantime, Grace lives in South Louisiana, basking in the beauty of its vibrantly unique culture while attempting to spring the beauty of Catholic theology and Church history onto unsuspecting high school students. She also loves sunshine, British detective fiction, poetry, Guinness, bar trivia (which she is endlessly bad at), symphonies, Irish fiddle circles, and spending her summers gallivanting across the country, discovering the endless natural beauty of these United States…which, incidentally, is how she met Marie.

Marie Bates is the assistant producer for Catholic Answers. She is a San Diego native. She attended the University of Dallas in Texas, where she earned a degree in English. In her free time, Marie enjoys reading, hiking, cooking for her husband, David, and spending time with her family.
