Been here since 2019 after Kate’s “Mormon mommy blogger” series. Kate is a master at word play, is quick-witted, and always finds a way to explore the dichotomy of both joyful reminiscence and the cultural misogyny we were swimming in as millennial women. Kate feels like an old friend at this point and I enjoy hearing her more current takes on motherhood as well as further revisiting the world in which we grew up.
I don’t know how you still have sponsors when you yawn through the commercial you record
Love Kate, love the show. But I can’t anymore with Nora McInerney, who has become so vapid over the last several years. Thinks she’s so clever, loves the sound of her own voice. I hate-listen to the episodes with Nora (and Caroline). 🤮
Kate the Earl Tupper episode was a banger! I missed you while you were off writing your 100k word manuscript! Break a leg with the new book. I am looking forward to it and am hoping for a Boston visit for the book tour.
