Summary

This week, Kate discusses a topic adjacent to her newly released book cover: early 2000s burned CDs, where a generation of baby pirates took on the music industry with a stack of CD-Rs, a sharpie, and a dream. She goes through some brief history of peer-to-peer sharing sites, talks through the millennial version of 'walking miles in the snow' aka buffering, discusses changing her entire personality to impress boys via music, then reads some listener anecdotes about their favorite memories, soundtracks, song orders, and themes resulting from this period of time where teens casually committed a federal crime in the name of curating a vibe. Enjoy!

I guess if it's a full episode, it's a deep dive.

Speaking of, though, I do feel like I can finally come up for air this week with several announcements.

0:49.2

I did a live show for Be There In 5's, 5-year anniversary, which is so crazy that the show

0:54.2

has been on air for five years.

0:56.2

I'm so grateful to those of you that are still here.

0:58.6

If you went to Be There In 5's live show last week, I spent a lot of the time going through

1:04.1

my flop eras because I think if we're going to celebrate a win like this podcast, ultimately

1:09.7

was the thing that worked.

1:10.7

I wanted to be clear about how many things absolutely did not work prior to that point.

1:17.8

And a lot of my ideas, like a lot of my episodes, still this day, aren't great ideas.

1:25.6

But I think it's important to kind of normalize that it's in misses and to, like Taylor Swift

1:30.4

said in her I Heart Radio Innovator speech last week, that you're going to have a lot of

1:35.4

bad ideas before you have good ones.

1:36.9

And I was like, we need receipts.

1:39.6

What bad ideas have you had Taylor?
