Be There in Five

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. Enjoy!

This week, Kate welcomes back Sami Sage (co-founder of Betches) to the podcast to discuss a real grab bag of topics related to current and past pop culture events. They discuss lessons learned from a rewatch of early Southern Charm seasons, the shift in cultural conversation about age gaps, millennials dating to marry versus dating to date, Taylor Swift's recent pap walks, RHONY's new cast, the Tiktok phenomenon of "Tube girl" and the trend about the "female Roman Empire," among other topics. Spoiler alert: they spend the last half hour or so discussing the Roy Man Empire (if you will) since Kate just watched Succession during mat leave and needs Sami's thoughts about the show and the Roy family, and eventually, they close with a few thoughts about TS's newly released vault track titles.

This week, Kate starts with some classic BTIF tangents, namely the 8 Passengers/Ruby Franke/Jodi Hildebrandt arrests and their "mental health" organization/cult, then interviews two podcast listeners about topics of their choice. First, Shea opens up about her experience getting back an NPE (not parent expected) result from an Ancestry DNA kit and her search for the truth of her identity ever since. Then, she talks with Emily to dissect the 2000s "Twee" aesthetic in all its ModCloth manic-pixie glory. Enjoy! SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pre-order my book, One in a Millennial, here!

This week, Kate starts with a quick personal update (but is still on mat leave) and is sharing a pre-recorded episode with Ashley Spivey, an incredible influencer and women's advocate Kate has followed for over a decade ever since her stint on Brad Womack's season of The Bachelor. They reminisce about the early days when Bachelor Nation Twitter was fun, how she's maintained an audience ever since the show, her experience nannying full-time, challenges of finding childcare, meeting their husbands at bars in NYC, etc. Then they venture into the inception of Spivey's Book Club, her current book recommendations, their favorite childhood books, and thoughts on Colleen Hoover, followed by a discussion about navigating pregnancy after loss, Ashley's advocacy with the Stillbirth Prevention Act, her perspective on motherhood, and so much more.

This week, Kate's on mat leave and invited Claire and Emma (from Love To See It podcast, formerly Here to Make Friends) to review one of Kate's favorite semi-problematic romantic comedies: The Wedding Planner. They discuss the wedding romcom industrial complex, some of their favorite recent romantic recaps that did or didn't stand the test of time, and then dive into one of J. Lo's finest films, where the audience is made to root for a wedding vendor creeping behind their client's back to seduce the groom. They LOL at the tried-and-true tropes, eye-roll at the gender dynamics, talk about the unlucky-in-love career woman archetype, and reexamine Matthew McConaughey's character, wondering just how much ethically questionable behavior we're willing to overlook if you work at a children's hospital and save a Jimmy Choo from being steamrolled by a dumpster.
