Bucket list, dream guest Kate Kennedy joined me for a discussion of one of my favorite 2024 reads, One In A Millenial. If I could summarize my nostalgia and feelings in a book, this is it. Just trust me. It is a celebration pop culture moments in the 90's, 00's and today woven with the most perfect cultural commentary that only Kennedy can do. You will laugh, you will cry, you will find yourself reaching out to your oldest friends. Kate and I chatted, Taylor, Jessie Spano, sleepovers, motherhood, school supplies and everything else. I could have talked to her for hours. She has a way in her podcast, Be There In Five, of making you feel like she is sitting right beside you, a friend right there with you and that is how this book feels. A fun convo with your bestest friend and I am jealous for anyone who gets to read it for the first time.
It's more than side parts, skinny jeans, and the way you make a heart symbol with your hands—"millennial cringe" is the breed of shame exclusive to a generation that had about .0001 seconds of glory in between their status as entitled babies and out-of-touch olds. But is the cross-generational roast of adults who suck at #adulting, those born roughly between 1982 and 1997, just garden-variety ageism, or is the millennial plight more profound than that? Host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) is joined by the brilliant high priestess of millennial culture, Kate Kennedy (@katekennedy)—host of the Be There In Five podcast and author of "One in a Millennial"—to unpack these Lisa Frank-tinted thought spirals.

We've actually already talked about today's book and author before on the show—back in January, when the book came out, we mentioned it on the show as it was my first #ReadwithMC book club pick. And now, how lucky are we today to have Kate Kennedy on I'd Rather Be Reading discussing her book One in a Millennial: On Friendships, Feelings, Fangirls, and Fitting In, which came out January 23. This book put into words everything I wish I could have said about being a millennial and perfectly nails down the millennial experience into 336 pages. Some of it is nostalgic and fun—stick around for our lightning round at the end of the episode—but some of it, quite frankly, isn't pretty. In this book and in this conversation Kate introduces us to the millennial paradox, what a lost millennial is, and so much more. In this book and in her work, Kate Kennedy has become the voice of a generation. She is a podcast host of the wildly popular show “Be There In Five,” a New York Times bestselling author—in addition to One in a Millennial, she also wrote a book about her love/hate relationship with social media called Twinkle, Twinkle, Social Media Star, and is a pop culture commentator. She also invented the “remindoormat” in 2014, which she created as a hobby after she decided to paint “turn off your curling iron” on her doormat in an attempt to not burn down her apartment. She then took it to a wider scale to much success, and called it Be There in Five (which later became the name of her podcast), which launched a line of reminder, affirmation, and custom doormats for people on the go. The doormats took off, and Kate left her corporate marketing job to run the business full-time. Kate is still writing her story—as are all millennials—and she's here to talk about her book with us today. I want to make a special dedication to my dear friend Mary, who loves Kate as much as I do and is a fellow millennial and just about the best friend, cheerleader, and hype woman a girl can have. I love you Mary, and I hope all of you love this episode. One in a Millennial: On Friendships, Feelings, Fangirls, and Fitting In by Kate Kennedy
This week, Kate explores the Ballerina Farm article heard ‘round the World Wide Web and reacts to the Times UK profile of homesteaders Hannah Neeleman and her husband Daniel, who run a picturesque farm in Utah with their eight children. Kate high-level examines Neeleman's portrayal of farm life, the influence of their Mormon faith on gender roles, how that lack of context likely made the article more inflammatory to a secular audience, and discusses the complexities of claimed empowerment in our choices when they're from a finite set of options. She also goes on a gratuitous Juilliard tangent (the Troy Bolton of it all), but not before a predictable plea to her audience to not marry someone after three weeks and a rant about bearing children being left up to God's will. Kate also touches on her confusion about the label of “trad wife,” wonders if she is one while her son is on her lap while she records, and attempts to explore the nuances of active versus passive harm when promoting a certain traditional (or regressive) lifestyle on the internet.

This week, Kate is solo and snorkeling through some of the latest and oldest of topics, like time. She warms up by wandering through things like grandfather clocks, the true crime history of the Magdalene Laundries (aka "Maggies") in Ireland, Harrison Butker's speech, lyrics where people quote Taylor Swift but don't realize she's quoting someone else, and ponders why we treat punctuality like it's an inherent virtue to the human condition when people had no way of knowing the precise time until the 18th century. Then, she crowdsources on IG in real time people's thoughts about having heirlooms as millennials in an era of fast fashion and furniture, highlighting the statement pieces of yesteryear that are incredibly pricey to maintain and whose experts are dying off. Then Kate goes off on a tangent about lucrative niche trade careers, like fixing grandfather clocks and elevator technicians, in case anyone's in the mood for a career pivot.

This week we are sharing advice for graduates from some of our friends. Today, Kate Kennedy from the Be There In Five podcast shares a piece of wisdom that is hard to grasp when you're in school: grades don't always matter, what teachers tell you is success isn't always right, and you should spend your adult life defining your own definition of success. _ If you have anxiety, depression or any sense of the world around you, you know that not *everything* is going to be okay. In fact, many things aren't okay and never will be! But instead of falling into the pit of despair, we're bringing you a little OK for your day. Every weekday, we'll bring you one okay thing to help you start, end or endure your day with the opposite of a doom scroll. Created and hosted by Nora McInerny. Find Nora's weekly newsletter here. _ “It's Going To Be OK” is brought to you by The Hartford. The Hartford is a leading insurance provider that's helping to simplify employee benefits by making them more personal and easier to understand. _ Share your OK thing at 612.568.4441 or by emailing IGTBO@feelingsand.co. _ The IGTBO team is Nora McInerny, Claire McInerny, Marcel Malekebu, Amanda Romani and Grace Barry. _ The transcript for this episode can be found here.

Have you ever gotten a parking spot, right up front, at the busy grocery store? Or maybe you've been running late for an appointment and you hit every green light. Kate Kennedy, host of the Be There In Five podcast, calls those magical moments.

Order some Thai food, get your feminist prose, and throw on your angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion because this week we're rewatching the breakout hit 10 Things I Hate About You! From the halls of Padua High to the troubling dynamics of its Shakespearian source material, we'll break it all down with our guest Kate Kennedy, host of the Be There In Five podcast.
This week, Kate muses aloud about several topics adjacent to studying abroad and crowdsources stories from fellow millennials' good, bad, and cringy “cultural” experiences. Recently an article went viral about a Gen Z'er not enjoying her time in Florence, and it got Kate thinking about her time trying to cosplay a more sophisticated, European version of herself that genuinely thought she came back a changed woman due to her collection of street pashmina and her ability to navigate the Eurrail train system. In hindsight, she ponders bigger themes like feeling ashamed of our interests, not realizing what about us was obviously “American” and realizing that we were embarrassing to other cultures, discusses the ridiculousness of the things we “loved” about Europe (long meals? open container laws?) but argues for there being a deeper layer of identifying with cultural elements of places that legitimately do prioritize quality of life in a different way. A classic, highly tangential, partially crowdsourced ep sharing both Kate and BTI5 listeners' perspectives.

This week, Kate shares her hopes and dreams for the Eras tour before it's spoiled this week, e.g., some thoughts she has on theme/structure/flow, her favorite F bombs she hopes to sing, plays a sampling of her setlist draft, and also shares insights from her snorkel into TS tour footwear over the years. She also makes a detailed plea for a YOYOK/Long Live finale, among other must-hear songs. Then, Kate interviews Sarah from the original TS style blog, Taylor Swift Style, and they discuss Taylor's street and red carpet style, stylists, iconic tour looks, tour predictions, outfit hits and misses, their “big 3” albums, and more. Kate also finds out Sarah went to a secret session and briefly spirals. Overall, a fun convo approaching Eras predictions from a different angle with a fellow superfan!

I'm not a book podcast, we know this. But I have gotten back into reading in a big way this year, so I figured it'd be fun to attempt a Book of the Month situation on the podcast. Unclear if we'll do it again, but hey—can't say we didn't attempt it. Besides reviewing Carrie Soto Is Back with my mom at the end of the episode, I speak to going "paid" with my newsletter last week and the "why" behind it all, tell you what the hell I've been doing lately, talk about some shows we're loving and finishing up, and essentially perform a spoken word love letter to Kate Kennedy of the Be There In Five podcast.

Topics include discussing the trend of having style “words,” personal style evolution, the Tiktok trend of dressing your mom, top internet sleuthing tips, Kate's thoughts about internet detectives going too far, the evolution of celeb paparazzi shots, Taylor Swift being driven by accolades/success metrics and guessing her Enneagram, some thoughts on how vanity metrics drive people in general after we no longer have grades for institutional validation, she also talks about “nice guy” syndrome in response to a listener being treated transactionally on a date, among other things.

This week, Kate answers three questions and made it into one episode after having an epiphany about 3-in-1 products and their correlation to the patriarchy, consumerism, and religion in line at a Walgreens (where she has all her best thoughts). This turducken of an episode snorkels the irony of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty being executed alongside Axe Body Spray's incredibly sexist mid-aughts advertising and details some thoughts on her own struggles with body image over the past year that she was surprised came back up to the surface (TW: diets, EDs). Then, she does a mini deep dive of the D.A.R.E. program, including “Cartoon All-Stars,” the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip of cartoons and cereal box characters who didn't want you to smoke dope, discusses the program's efficacy, then answers a listener's astute question about the role of “Just Say No” culture contributing to the boundary setting many of our elders find undesirable. Kate also discusses some nuances that may exist between Boomers and Millennials as it relates to employment, the pendulum swinging from purpose-driven employment back to not needing to find identity in employment, and how it should be okay to meet (not *exceed* your employer's expectations). Then, she goes through a lot of different topics upon being prompted about musical/lyrical pet peeves, from the Pitbull Kodak/Kodak paradigm to her FYP that's fully comprised of Gaylor Swift theories, to a controversial “Hey Soul Sister” roast that may just leave a stain on the front lobe of your left side brain.

This week, Kate discusses Evangelical influencers, from more extreme transitions, e.g. a fashion influencer who now offers deliverance from abortion demons (?), to the reality-star-to-preacher-pipeline of young women of faith that are talented public speakers like Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson and The Bachelor's Madi Prewett that now use their platforms as ministries. Kate also plays clips from other mid-sized influencers, masochistically watches a couple videos from Girl Defined, and talks a bit about her experience analyzing the persuasive tactics of Evangelical preachers. Specifically, how she draws parallels to motivational speakers and MLMs that all talk in the same way, who do things like verbally paint big metaphors from tiny anecdotes, engineer emotional buildups that culminate with guilt and a scream-crying call to action, and then manufacture feelings of hopefulness after purposefully tearing you down. All in the context of wanting people to be mindful of the people that influence an incredibly influential voting bloc that has taken away our bodily autonomy, White Evangelical Christians.

Episode 190 is a historic moment for SSR because it explores a book series intended for truly younger readers: Peggy Parish's Amelia Bedelia. Alli and her guest deep dive into a five-book box set and reminisce about the moments of wordplay and miscommunication they most remember from their childhood reading experiences. They also discuss the moments they found less charming as adult readers! They touch on Amelia Bedelia reboots, a reframing of perceptions of domestic work, how cool they felt when they learned to write in cursive, Amelia's artful passive aggression, ageism, and what it really means to dress a chicken.Kate Kennedy is the host of the Be There In Five podcast. Follow her on Instagram (@bethereinfive). This episode is brought to you by Kensington's newest title, Picnic in Someday Valley by Jodi Thomas.
In this episode, Merritt chats with friend and fellow podcaster, Kate Kennedy, of Be There In Five! The conversation covers a wide range of topics (a hodge-podge, if you will) including the highs and lows of attending fashion week, the appeal of aspirational content vs relatability, internalized misogyny, criticism of Meghan Markle, a conspiracy theory about the Queen, and more! In the intro, Merritt gives a week/weekend recap, including her review of the new limited series inspired by Anna Delvey, Inventing Anna, on Netflix. Call into the Beck & Call hotline to get advice or ask Merritt anything! The number is 214-620-0473. Be sure to follow along on Instagram @beckandcallpodcast too!
Happy 2022! I am thinking about new things I can do with this podcast. Is it: more episodes? More mini episodes? A rotating small cast of recurring guest hosts? Call in episodes? Having listeners on the show? Weirdly, a lot of people said I should do some solo episodes talking about a product or two each week. I am super down for that, but it also makes me extremely nervous! So I called my friend Kate Kennedy of Be There In Five and asked her if she'd share some solo podcasting tips with me. I remain still overwhelmed but less overwhelmed than before!

Hey Geezers! I know what you're thinking — is it Friday already? No! It's Thursday! Sorry! but I wanted to update you guys on what's going on with our mini episodes. Jackie and I have had the best time recording these episodes -- in fact, we've had so much fun, we launched a Patreon together! But between our own shows, the minis, and the Patreon, we feared that something would get lost along the way and decided it was time to take a hiatus from doing the minis to focus on Season 1 of Just One Episode. Just One Episode is what happens when Jackie and I launch a brand new podcast...every week. Think new theme song, new cover art, and a new topic....every single Wednesday. Members of the Mountain Dew Producers Circle tier give us some of our best ideas (well they give us THEIR best ideas, and we just execute) — thanks Jessica and Christina for our last two episodes, by the way!Right now and for a limited time the $2 Palette Patrons level will give you access to one episode of Just One Episode: Our Spoiler Alert show. Come on in, check it out, and if you love it, you can upgrade to the Mountain Dew Producers Circle at any time. We're having so much fun doing this show and we hope you join us at Patreon.com/JustOneEpisode. Your money could be spent anywhere and we so appreciate that you are choosing to spend it with us to help us keep creating.I am so excited to meet you all back here tomorrow for a new ep of Gee Thanks, Just Bought It! with special guest Kate Kennedy of Be There In Five.

Super-wealthy motivational speaker Tony Robbins physically towers over his thousands of adoring acolytes, boasting a booming voice and omniscient life advice about everything from love to business to trauma, which he espouses at his world-famous conferences… but in light of recent abuse allegations, his cult status is starting to look a lot more predatory than inspiring. Special guest Kate Kennedy of the Be There In Five podcast joins us this week to unpack the cult of motivational speaking and Tony Robbins, discussing peer pressure and forced vulnerability, the connection between Robbins and disgraced self-improvement star Rachel Hollis, and so much more.
