3-in-1

This week, Kate answers three questions and made it into one episode after having an epiphany about 3-in-1 products and their correlation to the patriarchy, consumerism, and religion in line at a Walgreens (where she has all her best thoughts). This turducken of an episode snorkels the irony of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty being executed alongside Axe Body Spray’s incredibly sexist mid-aughts advertising and details some thoughts on her own struggles with body image over the past year that she was surprised came back up to the surface (TW: diets, EDs). Then, she does a mini deep dive of the D.A.R.E. program, including “Cartoon All-Stars,” the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip of cartoons and cereal box characters who didn’t want you to smoke dope, discusses the program’s efficacy, then answers a listener’s astute question about the role of “Just Say No” culture contributing to the boundary setting many of our elders find undesirable. Kate also discusses some nuances that may exist between Boomers and Millennials as it relates to employment, the pendulum swinging from purpose-driven employment back to not needing to find identity in employment, and how it should be okay to meet (not *exceed* your employer’s expectations). Then, she goes through a lot of different topics upon being prompted about musical/lyrical pet peeves, from the Pitbull Kodak/Kodak paradigm to her FYP that’s fully comprised of Gaylor Swift theories, to a controversial “Hey Soul Sister” roast that may just leave a stain on the front lobe of your left side brain. Enjoy!
