Be There in Five

This week, we have a classic BTI5 deep dive about two cult documentaries Kate watched this week, Escaping Twin Flames and Love Has Won. She feels confusion and rage galore as she explores each organization’s core values, quirks, tactics, scandals, and leaders to try and understand what it means to be a believer in someone who, despite having objectively zero charisma or appeal, manages to gain control of your entire existence. She also examines details she felt were left out of Love Has Won, such as the contents of their curriculum, untold stories of people left out in the desert to die, and why she feels like it makes no sense that Miguel/Michael put the money in the bag and he stole the keys, and no one’s asking questions.Be on the lookout for a bonus episode about a third cult that was cut from the broadcast at patreon.com/bethereinfivePre order my book, One in a Millennial here!Get your first book for $5 with code BETHEREINFIVE at bookofthemonth.com.Right now we have a special discount just for our listeners.

This week, Kate is joined by Allison Horrocks and Mary Mahoney, self-identified Mollys and hosts of the Dolls of our Lives Podcast (FKA American Girls), to talk about their newly released book, Dolls of our Lives. They discuss the origin story of American Girl dolls and why they were vital to so many of our girlhoods, Pleasant Rowland’s brand of feminism, their tie to Colonial Williamsburg, reexamining historical plot lines, hot takes about Uncle Gard, and so much more AG lore, e.g., the doll hospital, catalog culture, best/worst fashions and furniture, and niche drama in Aurora, NY. Randomly, there are plenty of Saved by the Bell tangents, too.

This week, Kate starts by raging about people who say watching TV is a waste of time and/or is the lowest form of intimacy one can achieve with their partner. After pontificating about why TV matters, Kate then discusses how heartwarming it was seeing footage of Friends revived online this week following the tragic news of Matthew Perry’s passing and enlists her sister Kelly to join her in talking about a variety of topics and moo points surrounding the iconic TV show, e.g., how shows like Friends can serve as our friends in trying times, what did and didn’t age well, favorite characters, seasons, bits, episodes, paper, snow, a ghost, among other topics.

This week, in preparation for the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version), Kate deep dives the making of 1989. Since Kate wasn’t podcasting in 2014, she never got to do a proper review of one of her favorite TS albums, so she’s taking this opportunity to talk through the timeline of how/when it was written, her favorite songs/lyrics, and revisiting some of the voice notes and live performances. Unsurprisingly, she ends up mostly talking too much about Out of the Woods and New Romantics, but hopefully, when she goes crashing down, she comes back every time. Review of the vault tracks will be on patreon.com/bethereinfive once they come out.

This week, Kate welcomes back listener favorite Danny Pellegrino (host of Everything Iconic) to talk about holiday magic in honor of his latest book (out October 24th) called The Jolliest Bunch: Unhinged Holiday Stories. They talk through all sorts of October-December related topics, like favorite seasonal music, movies, and family memories, along with shocking revelations from his book, like the hottest place to rent chairs in greater metro Cleveland, a new way to frame the Twelve Days of Christmas, and some hot takes about the 1995 Devon Sawa classic, Casper (among other things).

This week, Kate has on a highly requested guest co-host (Jamie Golden from The Popcast) and like true Yearbook Camp queens, they lay out a dynamic collection of topics for your enjoyment. Such as meeting over chicken tenders, thinking about getting fringe bangs, exploring differences and common enemies between Gen X and Millennials, finding comedy in religious conversations, Jamie and Kate’s days as narc-y evangelical teens, the NOs of summer camp, the ruse of high school clubs, and the misery of monetizing your hobbies. From cake pops to cake toppers to predictions for pop culture, this episode has something for everyone, except maybe Sean and Seth.
