Welcome to the first episode of Culture Check! I'm your host Kate, and I'm so excited to start this journey with you. In this episode, I talk about how and why I started doing this podcast, what I actually mean by "culture," and why it is more than just trends or hot takes.

Whether you’re passionate about politics, pop culture, or just want deeper conversations that don’t shy away from hard topics, this space is for you.
