Hi everyone, welcome back to the Be There In 5 Podcast.

I'm Kate Kennedy, your host.

I am a Chicago-based entrepreneur, author, top culture commentator, turned

podcaster, freelancer of all the creative things.

I don't know.

Honestly, today I'm just a person that takes out my grievances with my days

and youth group out on my public platform.

But we'll still have a good time today.

I know this is kind of an unconventional topic.

I know it's a bit of a, what some might think is a risky topic, though I'd argue.

While religion is taboo, I do think that for a lot of us, it's actually kind of quite

an interesting shared experience that whether you're still involved or not, I think the way

you perceive it when you're younger is quite fascinating and quite different from when

you're older.

But I do think a lot of it is kind of strangely pop culture adjacent, whether it's true love

weights and the Joe Bros. or just kind of how we used to jam out to murder see me.

On this podcast, I want to talk about what's going on in the world and the zeitgeist.

I talk a lot about nostalgia.

The small things throughout life that are quite sensory and take you back and make you

remember a simple or time in your formative years.

I think Lailia has been thinking a lot too about what are the other influences for better

or for worse that made you into who you are.
