Society & Culture

Frequency: 1 episode/9d. Total Eps: 331

Be There in Five is a pop culture and millennial zeitgeist-focused podcast by Kate Kennedy (entrepreneur, author, pop culture commentator). Long-form and solo hosted, Be There in Five explores different facets of popular culture in a comedic, thoughtful, and analytical way, covering entertainment, social media, bloggers/influencers, and celebrities, in addition to focusing on the humor found in reexamining the 90s/00s as an adult (from AIM to Zenon). As one listener described it, "come for the relatable humor and lighthearted topics, stay for the surprising levels of depth and thoughtfulness injected into them."

Total Request Five (Addison Rae and the New Pop Machine)

Season 2 · Episode 30

Sunday, June 8, 2025 • Duration 01:52:34

This week, Kate tries a tri-deep dive connecting Addison Rae's evolution, Y2K's one-hit wonders, and the overlap of both TRL and Tiktok's pop generations. Through Addison's candid interviews about stepping away from constant content creation, Kate explores how the machine that once discarded the forgotten pop girls of the early 2000s is long gone... or is it? Kate argues that while social media promised to democratize fame, it's actually created a more insidious system where creators internalize the disposability that labels and entertainment gatekeepers used to impose, making the case that Addison Rae represents a new model of how to game the system back.

Plus: Relax, Hailey Bieber isn't a billionaire (yet), Kylie's boob job transparency, S Club 7's tragic economics, YM magazine archaeology, and why we need to stop treating one-hit wonders like cautionary tales when they were actually victims of an assembly line designed to churn through young women for profit. Enjoy!

Women's Bufferage

Season 1 · Episode 255

Friday, April 7, 2023 • Duration 01:55:18

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!

Study Abroadcast

Season 1 · Episode 254

Thursday, March 30, 2023 • Duration 02:20:43

This week, Kate muses aloud about several topics adjacent to studying abroad and crowdsources stories from fellow millennials' good, bad, and cringy "cultural" experiences. Recently an article went viral about a Gen Z'er not enjoying her time in Florence, and it got Kate thinking about her time trying to cosplay a more sophisticated, European version of herself that genuinely thought she came back a changed woman due to her collection of street pashmina and her ability to navigate the Eurrail train system. In hindsight, she ponders bigger themes like feeling ashamed of our interests, not realizing what about us was obviously "American" and realizing that we were embarrassing to other cultures, discusses the ridiculousness of the things we "loved" about Europe (long meals? open container laws?) but argues for there being a deeper layer of identifying with cultural elements of places that legitimately do prioritize quality of life in a different way. A classic, highly tangential, partially crowdsourced ep sharing both Kate and BTI5 listeners' perspectives. Enjoy!
