  • Unique in all the right ways

    Kate brings her real self to the microphone and brings the best out of her guests. By showing real interest in people from all different backgrounds, she sparks some really worthwhile conversations that never feel canned. There’s a reason she’s had such a long run in the pod scene, as you’ll discover if you give it a listen.

  • Change of heart

    I’ve just twigged that the host is on the autism spectrum, as is my husband. Please accept my apologies for judgment and my humble praise for being so brave.

  • Episode 50

    2 women talking incessantly about things that have nothing to do with the story. Also, many facts wrong, and the “f” word overused. When putting a podcast out there about something like this, please confirm your facts. This is coming from someone who knew and was close with Dave. Kudos for wanting to remember him, and acknowledging he was a real person who’s life was cut short.

  • We've guested on Kate's show and for good reason. She's intelligent, informed and inspirational, not to mention a hell of a conversationalist. Every single episode is engaging and you can't go wrong by listening.

  • I don't catch every episode (simply because I don't have time), but when I *do* listen it's worth it. The variety of guests, topics, and subjects means there's always something interesting to be discovered. For those who like to learn new things and be exposed to new perspectives, it's a great choice.
