The "Beth: A Week in the Life" series is a format where Kate records for 15-20 mins per day in a given week to discuss what she cares about in that moment, attempting to capture small pockets of her interests that get lost in the fast news cycle.

This episode covers a variety of topics, such as:

-Irrational childhood fears as developed by The Face on The Milk Carton

-Another unforeseen snorkel into the Cosmos, astrology, the book of Genesis, and the origin of time, feat. the ancient world's hottest literary device: antimetaboles!

-Early observations about Utah while Kate was on the road for Track 5

-A Halloween rant, KJP's autumn, introvert vs. extrovert holidays

-Kate's annoyance with religious people using the "start a riot" sound on Tiktok trend

-The Christian persecution complex Kate learned about via DC Talk's bible study about martyrdom

-A "Sharenting" snorkel about Mormon family bloggers exploiting their kids' embarrassing moments in puberty for clicks

-A brief chat about Fundie vloggers

-Some closing thoughts about conversations Kate had in Utah about faith journeys
