Be There in Five

This week, Kate finally digs into the Duggar world after finding the Prime Video documentary Shiny Happy People particularly riveting/alarming, and explores topics adjacent to the crimes, controversy, and cultural relevance of the family, along with the connections of the IBLP to homeschooling and extensive political pipelines designed to infiltrate positions of power with individuals groomed with fundamentalist beliefs. Kate discusses her taste in reality tv, her history with TLC programming, researches a little more about wisdom booklet teachings, briefly spirals about the "He Gets Us" Super Bowl campaign/Hobby Lobby CEO, and shares some of her own POV regarding the glorifying of religious authority and how it mimics abusive dynamics.

TWs: SA, CSAM, religious trauma, among other horrifying topics. Please only listen if you've watched the doc and are familiar with the subject matter.

This week, Kate reviews the Bama Rush doc on (HBO) Max and discusses why she thinks the doc fell short of our expectations as viewers and voyeurs of this Tiktok phenomenon. First, she reviews her initial reaction, the director's role in it, why she realized it would be impossible for cameras to get on the inside, and reviews some of the core themes that were touched on but not explored. She also speculates about the important things, like sticker gate with Holiday. Then, Kate is joined by another Kate (from Reality Life with Kate Casey), and they pick up where the convo left off on her podcast (link below) and discuss more sorority lore, questions the doc left unanswered, and even do a role-playing exercise where one Kate asks the other if certain behaviors would get PNMs the boot from recruitment. She also provides a detailed list of what's on this week's must-watch list. Enjoy!

This week, Kate muses aloud about her feeling like influencer and affiliate marketing has pyramid scheme vibes, then goes off on a tangent about vague marketing jobs in the context of being "pink collar" jobs that aren't treated the same as more technical roles, then eventually gets back on topic an interviews Emily Lynn Paulson (author of Hey Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing) about the good, the bad, and the cringy of her time bossbabing as a top earner in an MLM. Enjoy!
