Be There in Five

I Just Believe in Parties!

This week, Kate couldn’t help but wonder if an influencer who refuses to acknowledge issues important to their following is perhaps still hung up on that time Samantha Jones (RIP) said she doesn't care about the Republican or Democratic party, she just likes parties!!! This episode (outside of comparing influencers that are unwilling to engage in substantive discussions to decorative cocktail napkins) is a mostly serious stream of consciousness about the discussion surrounding influencers' responses to the attempted coup that took place at the US Capitol January 6th. Similar to previous episodes surrounding COVID and social injustice, Kate details how she approaches politically adjacent topics as both an influencer and observer, talks about what she (and other listeners) have said they think are non-negotiables, explores the nuance of how and why people choose not to engage, the implications of not doing so, and the importance of consistency in values-driven content going forward. There's probably an Emily in Paris or Turtle Freak Lane rant in there somewhere too? She can't help herself. Enjoy!

Neighborhoods trying the hardest to sound rich Turtle Creek Lane's new Mercedes Kim & Kanye's divorce Freckled Fox's separation A mini deep dive of SimplySuzys' Instagram bait-and-switch Are Instagram growth coaches the new MLM? A review of Meghan & Harry's new podcast A Portrait of The Artist of a Young Woman in 2011 A snorkel about money laundering via fine art donation A Pinterest tangent that's cut short when she finds out about DC and then abruptly ends the episode.

Enjoy-- and hang in there.

A fireside heart to heart via a double episode to keep you company through the end of 2020! In this episode, Kate recorded a holiday heart to heart, asking listeners what questions/topics they'd want to discuss if they were sitting down for dinner together. From wine selection at a dinner party, to what her experience has been like with other podcasters, what she'd say if she met TS, advice for those who are single, to hearing more about her husband and family, what she'd teach her younger self, Christmas traditions, and more, Kate opens up about a variety of new topics. Here's to Better Days in 2021!

In this bonus episode, Kate was trying to do a "quick recap" of all of the discussion and mystery surrounding Taylor Swift's 9th studio album's surprise release. However, it is not quick and recap might be a generous word since she felt like she hasn't listened enough to go song-by-song. Yet she still manages to talk about it for like, evermore, and shares her observations surrounding this album, e.g. the comparisons to folklore, the theories leading up to (and the theories following) the sister album's release, the potential trilogy, the Woodvale of it all, the easter eggs, the weird TikTok theories, literary references, some of her favorite lyrics/themes/callbacks, her general interest in mystical witchlike subcultures, and then talks about Champagne Problems for way too long. Enjoy?

In this nostalgic deep dive, Kate details her "main character" moments throughout life, AKA moments her hyper sensitive nature and her obsession with pop culture perfectly intersected to produce fake emo song scored movie scenes in her head. Join her as she reviews memories from her recently discovered journals when she was dramatically, if not disproportionately, reacting to very normal adolescent situations, from youth group, to celeb sightings, hook up culture, a Twilight phase, frat parties, study abroad, getting ready culture, all the way to ultimately culminating with an earth-shattering heartbreak at a certain fast casual eatery. She then reads from her journals from her religious phase and explores how her emotional and spiritual evolution led her to this very moment. Enjoy!
