Be There in Five
Kate Kennedy
Be There in Five is a pop culture and millennial zeitgeist-focused podcast by Kate Kennedy (entrepreneur, author, pop culture commentator). Long-form and solo hosted, Be There in Five explores different facets of popular culture in a comedic, thoughtful, and analytical way, covering entertainment, social media, bloggers/influencers, and celebrities, in addition to focusing on the humor found in reexamining the 90s/00s as an adult (from AIM to Zenon). As one listener described it, "come for the relatable humor and lighthearted topics, stay for the surprising levels of depth and thoughtfulness injected into them."

BONUS: SARS Hollow (Gilmore Girls Quarantine Fanfic)
Continued from last year, when Kate wrote a rough, albeit spirited, partial script imagining how the characters of Stars Hollow would react to COVID-19. She posts niche content like this on Patreon (given it's a soul-baring indicator of her level of obsession in the series) but hopefully fellow Gilmore Girls fans will enjoy! If you've already heard the Patreon version, FYI this has both the original plus roughly 30 mins more of added commentary and personal fan fiction plot lines. Next week, we will be back to regular episodes! Listen to more Gilmore Girls deep dives on patreon.com/bethereinfive

BONUS: Mary-Kate & Ashley Deep Dive
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!

If you can't tone it, tangent! (Summer Stories)
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!
