Be There in Five

Latest Episodes:

Under the Influencer (with Blogilates, Cassey Ho) Mar 31, 2024

Show notes

This week, Kate is joined by Cassey Ho, best known for her blog/brand/YouTube channel Blogilates and also for being CEO and lead designer behind her apparel line POPFLEX. As the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Cassey's non-negotiable, pre-destined career path was medicine. Despite her dream of becoming a fashion designer being severely suppressed, she found her way out of biology and into design and fitness influencing in the heyday of YouTube and now has amassed millions of subscribers and followers, billions of views, and a wildly successful activewear line (that Kate wears constantly). She also happens to be a Beth, so this combines two series: Under the Influencer & Beths in Show. They dive into her background, her YouTube days, diet culture and body positivity, internet trolls who comment on your body, Popflex crowdsourced product development and design, and Kate even provides her two cents about what she needs in an elusive black one-piece bathing suit and Cassey just might be up for the task. Enjoy!

Show notes

This week, we head back to Plathville because Kate has a very special guest on the podcast: Olivia Plath. Kate and Olivia talk more about her background and upbringing outside of the Plath family, deconstructing fundamentalist Christianity, more about the "courting" phase with Ethan, their political differences that weren't aired, and expands on the MLM/credit card story, among other topics related to the show and Olivia's personal faith journey. Kate also floats her theories about the Barry/Kim dynamic and Olivia reveals more context that happened off-screen that contributed to the tension with her in-laws. Enjoy!

y = mx + bti5 (katelilah) Mar 03, 2024

Show notes

This week, Kate's solo and back to answering listener voicemails, and each tangent makes less sense than the next. From useless things we learned in school, to mute models and mouth tape, to Wilma Flintstone pioneering statement jewelry, to her journey with tummy time, to an ethical dilemma about using other people's numbers at the grocery store for discounts, to TS album leaks, some midcentury litterbug lore, and more, this episode is a weird one. She had a great time. Enjoy! Call 312.379.9676 to be featured on a future Katelilah.

Women be shoppin' (feat. Money with Katie) Feb 18, 2024

Show notes

This week, Kate is joined by Katie Gatti Tassin from the podcast beloved by many Beths, @moneywithkatie. This isn't a money episode in terms of how you spend or invest it, but a broader conversation about the weirdness of money, our fascination with it, Kate's personal anxiety about it, the conflicting ways they both feel about capitalism, the ways they've evolved since Girlbossing too close to the sun, while also acknowledging that the way we all were too delighted to watch the Girlboss burn was a problem. Kate airs her grievances about how exploitative online financial content can be or how out of touch the Dave Ramseys of the world can be with their audience, and Katie explains the "hot girl hamster wheel," aka the immense cost of ongoing maintenance to uphold beauty standards, among other things. Enjoy!

Pookie & the Jetts (feat. Kelly, Caroline, Rachel, Claire and Ally) Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

This week, Kate's on the road for her book tour and her recording technology is lacking (and her episode posting is lagging) but she figured she'd tell you what she's up to! This episode is a hodgepodge of Kate & friends reporting live from various moments on the road, from backstage at House of Blues with Caroline Moss talking about Jett & Pookie to an after-show with her sister Kelly to a rainy poolside gab session with her sisters in law in Orange County. Deeply sorry again for sound quality; Kate is going to invest in travel tech going forward, but we didn't want to skip another week, so better something than nothing? Tbd. Loveya

You've Got Male (Audiobook Preview!) Jan 21, 2024

Show notes

This week, Kate's sharing a full chapter from her book coming out Tuesday (1.23!), One in a Millennial. This is an excerpt from the audiobook, chapter 3: You've Got Male, which details Kate's first experiences developing an online identity in the 90s via AIM, and discusses the lore of dial-up, the art of building a screenname, finding a vacation boyfriend, mastering the art of going idle, and the realization that boys who wouldn't talk to her in person seemed to really like her behind a screen. But first, Kate also talks about getting the opportunity to go on GMA and talks about some of the book's core themes. After the audiobook clip, she shares some thoughts about how this is a book the Beths built and shares some high-level summaries of what you can expect before you read it! Thanks for being patient with the promo; this week has been years in the making, and Kate is excited for it to be out in the world :)

Enjoy and if you want basically a 9.5 hour podcast, listen to the full audiobook Tuesday when it comes out! https://amzn.to/47BS7GJ
