This week, Kate's sharing a full chapter from her book coming out Tuesday (1.23!), One in a Millennial. This is an excerpt from the audiobook, chapter 3: You've Got Male, which details Kate's first experiences developing an online identity in the 90s via AIM, and discusses the lore of dial-up, the art of building a screenname, finding a vacation boyfriend, mastering the art of going idle, and the realization that boys who wouldn't talk to her in person seemed to really like her behind a screen. But first, Kate also talks about getting the opportunity to go on GMA and talks about some of the book's core themes. After the audiobook clip, she shares some thoughts about how this is a book the Beths built and shares some high-level summaries of what you can expect before you read it! Thanks for being patient with the promo; this week has been years in the making, and Kate is excited for it to be out in the world :)

Enjoy and if you want basically a 9.5 hour podcast, listen to the full audiobook Tuesday when it comes out! https://amzn.to/47BS7GJ
