  • I want Kate to be my best friend

    I love this podcast so much. I adore the way she interviews, which sounds like poetry to me. I used to interview people in my career as a journalist and I could never master it as the art form that she does. I also sort of lost my faith when my sister died a few years ago, and Kate is showing me a different gentle way to have faith, even though she claims to be very « Jesusy. » I listen to ALOT of podcasts, and this is one I save for my « treat » podcasts. Thank you Kate. Keep it up.

  • Episode with Liz Gilbert

    I have listened to all of the podcasts with Liz released in the last few days about her new book, but this one was, by a long stretch, the best one! I had so many laugh-out-loud moments, will definitely listen to it again. Thank you Kate and Liz
