Be There in Five

A deep dive into the world of MK&A including two hours of meandering through Full House, DualStar, My First Video, direct to VHS, and some of the greats: Billboard Dad, Passport to Paris, Holiday in the Sun, etc. The 20 min intro contains Kate's recent thoughts, but the rest of this was recorded last year and Kate was lucky enough to be joined by a fellow MKA-obsessed listener, Kelly Bare. This week, instead of new episodes, Kate is releasing some of her niche bonus episodes from Patreon that have been behind a paywall for people to enjoy on the regular feed. Next up, Gilmore Girls fanfic. Enjoy!

This week, Kate shares her own musings along with listener stories about all things nostalgic summertime. Primarily focused on suburban pool culture and summer camp tales, these stories made her laugh, cry, gasp, and long for simpler times when her only agenda was to eat snack bar chicken tenders, scope for megahotties, and wait for a hot summer's day to melt into a thunderstormy afternoon complete with sandwiches, dry clothes, and the Disney channel. Fair warning, a lot of the camp stories are quite religious and intense, but would you expect a Beth's version of a hot girl summer from yesteryear to be any different? Enjoy!

In part 2 of this quarter's series where Kate answers listener voicemails, she covers a lot of ground with a wide range of topical depth. This episode covers: -A discussion of the 'Troubled Teen' industry and the under the radar abuse of boot camps/wilderness therapy camps/conversion therapy programs that con parents into thinking that legitimate therapeutic treatment is being provided to their children. -An overview of what happened with Chrissy Teigen & Courtney Stoddard and a diatribe about the complexities and propaganda of cancel culture vs. general accountability -A nostalgic detour through official hot girl shoes at different points in Kate's life (remember when Sambas were like Loubs?) -Lauren Conrad: Mob boss or BFF? A thinkpiece on the term 'loyalty' on reality television -True Life: A listener called into the real Delilah. This is her story. -Then, an answer that is so long, half is (already recorded) and needs to be put on Patreon, where Kate responds to a 2 part voicemail from a listener struggling with purpose, contentment, comparison, job satisfaction, and ongoing disappointment due to deviating from their original goals in life.

A two part episode! This week, Kate had so many interesting voicemails, she broke it up into two parts. In part 1, she answers some of the lighter fare, such as: How would she define a Hot Girl Summer? and other musings about the pursuit of hotness in our youth, feat. yet another country music tangent. How does she feel about Swifties calling Olivia Rodrigo a snake because she sent a PR package to Kim K? Where the hell do you make real friends as an adult? How does she feel about shopping dates? feat. an unsolicited dressing room soliloquy What's her dream fictional tv/movie location for a dinner party and the corresponding dream fictional cast? feat. an inevitable Gilmore Girls tangent What's the deal with women who with public platforms being accused of attention-seeking behavior? Does Kate know she's perpetuated Country Apple erasure in the context of B&BW scents? Tune in for part 2 as she tackles heavier topics, e.g. the troubled teen industry, MOH drama, feelings of failure, Chrissy Teigen, managing parental expectations, and more!

This week, Kate discusses a topic that combines her interests in both weddings and purity culture by reading listener-submitted stories about church-mandated pre-marital counseling, something she had a particularly interesting experience doing. This counseling is often done not by clergy members but by random married couples at the church. Without curriculum regulation, married couples teach engaged couples how to be married based on their personal anecdotal best practices, and the results range from quite troubling to absolutely hilarious, depending on who you get. Not meant to be offensive, just to share experiences about something that is mandatory for many couples, and has potential, but often underdelivers with archaic recommendations for gender roles, birth control, finances, etc. Enjoy!
