Summary

This week, Kate begins by recapping her experience seeing Wicked twice and shares her favorite Easter eggs, then answers listener voicemails that are a combination of nostalgic pop culture, millennial travel icons, and a witchy women’s studies lesson. In this episode, Kate reassures listeners that when America decides, it’s not always on our side, as evidenced by many years of questionable voting behavior from the majority that brought us the Soul Patrol on American Idol. Then she pilots something she’ll never do again called Bethtern Civ, where she explores the medieval demonizing of folk magic and pagan rituals later referred to as ‘witchcraft’ in the context of it being in opposition to the Christianization of the West. Lastly, she snorkels millennial queen/icon/legend, Samantha Brown: Travel Guide, and Kate shares how Sam's sensible haircut and can-do attitude at waterparks inspired her modern love for hotels and resorts.

0:16.4	had a great Thanksgiving weekend. So this episode is what we call a Kate Lila. I just have memories
0:21.1	of like headlight halos driving through the burbs at night, maybe rain drops on the windows of my
0:26.9	Honda Civic, and Delilah, adult contemporary radio, spoken word crooner, giving sage wisdom, playing
0:35.4	80s and 90s power ballads, healing people with a gift of song,
0:39.8	with a gift of unqualified advice. And so, yeah, we call this Kate Liley, even though it's a,
0:45.7	really, really doesn't roll off the tongue. You know, am I always quick with these questions? God
0:51.3	no. I believe I got through three in this 90-minute program.
0:59.0	So don't worry if you call in and continue to call in 775, hey Beth.
1:02.4	Courtney keeps a pool of ones I haven't answered and we'll just pick them at random.

1:26.9	It's like a mess with, you know, forts and blankets and toys strewn about.
1:28.5	And it just like makes me happy because that's like what basement dreams are made of. That's why I always wanted a basement. And it's
1:32.2	really fun to have everyone come here to the city. And honestly, it feels easier to host 10 people
1:37.3	in my home than it does to travel five hours by car with one child. I don't see how you parents do
1:43.0	it. You're my heroes. I'm already getting anxious
1:45.4	for flying with Teddy for Christmas, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Anyway, guys,
