Summary
This week, Kate attempts to reclaim the nostalgic magic of fall by detailing her feelings about dystopian Instagram-backdrop businesses and resurrects the fauxliage phenomenon to chat about manufactured coziness and the art of photo taking. She then reminisces about some of her back to school and fall-related longings, like the lore of school supply shopping, how not all spiral notebook manufacturers are created equal, the scholastic book fair, among other things. She discusses her theory about misplaced disdain for early spirited fall decor and PSLs and hypothesizes Millennials’ obsession with cosplaying the coziness of yesteryear and perhaps we’re chasing a time when the seasons were valued for their beauty and not resented for their role in the passage of time. She then answers listener voicemails about sexist college theme parties, talks about when she met her husband at some point, discusses Trisha Paytas naming her kid Malibu Barbie (??) and her issues with modern naming conventions, does some royals & QEII coverage and the misinformation of Nostradamus’ predictions, only to be too long-winded (as usual) and need to go into a part 2 bc of all the great questions this week. Enjoy and call Kate-lilah if you ever have a question or comment (312) 379-9676

| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody, welcome back to the Be There and Fight Podcast. I'm Kate Kennedy, your host. |
| 0:17.0 | Today I want to answer some listener voice mails. Some were recorded during my books sabbatical |
| 0:25.0 | because I was trying to stay off the internet to focus a bit on finishing up my book, |
| 0:32.0 | which I had to do in the next month or so. They did not disappoint. Thank you so much for keeping me in the loop. |
| 0:39.0 | Kate Lila is a name that does not roll nicely off the tongue that I started using a long time ago |
| 0:45.0 | because my dream is to be late night radio host Delilah. She's so soothing. |
| 0:52.0 | She plays love songs and has no credentials and just talks people through their dilemmas in a soothing tone |
| 0:59.0 | and I used to love listening to her on light 98 Richmond Virginia where I grew up. |
| 1:04.0 | It's just like a podcast inside joke for when I answer your voice mails on episodes. |
| 1:12.0 | One of my absolute favorite things to do while my nightmare is you was associating me with some sort of vague self-help |
| 1:18.0 | or a person that earnestly wants you to take advice from my narrow experience. |
| 1:25.0 | It's still fun to answer casual questions or provide some of my input in the event I have wisdom |
| 1:32.0 | on the particular category or don't. Sometimes they're light, sometimes they're more in depth, |
| 1:36.0 | don't take me that seriously. I just love hearing from you guys and it's fun to have you be a part of the podcast. |
| 1:43.0 | In terms of what's new with me, I again have been in a cave writing. |
| 1:50.0 | I feel like the past two weeks things are finally clicking. I have hundreds of thousands of words I'm trying to sift through |
| 1:57.0 | and it's exciting. It's exciting that it's coming together and I am also ready to be done with a long term project. |
| 2:07.0 | I don't do well with like looming things that you chip away at and the type of person that writes a term paper |
| 2:13.0 | that I before it's due but you can't do that with a project like this. |
| 2:17.0 | So my creativity is greatly stunted by a lack of urgency so I think everything's flowing to me now because it's almost due. |
| 2:25.0 | But other than that, the first I mean the first time I had really, I went and wrote in a like a nearby line bar in my neighborhood a couple nights ago |
| 2:35.0 | which was nice. That was my first time out since I had been to Vegas. |
