Be There in Five - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love this podcast, and it’s kept me company through so many drives and long days, feels like a friend joining me for little errands and makes everything so much more enjoyable. For some reason I always get emotional when she says “let me know your thoughts and i’ll let you know mine, I’ll be there in 5, I swear” outro lol. I feel smarter and more thoughtful, a better feminist because of this podcast.

long time listener who loves the longer form of this podcast and the way Kate’s brain works to dissect pop culture topics and frame them in a larger cultural discussion. It’s like school but for the stuff I actually care about (Morman influencers) 👀 highly recommend!

It is so refreshing to have a millennial voice to keep us up to speed on what’s happening in the zeitgeist while also pulling in all the reference material and nostalgia to make us feel seen and heard. Her enthusiasm for fandom enthusiasm is so validating and she’s created a whole community around it. If you aren’t listening to this, you’re truly missing out!

I love Kate as a fellow millenial and loved her book. The podcast can sometimes be a multi minute run on sentence - I think Kate would really benefit from someone to bounce off of! I think a cohost could also be a good second opinion on editing - I really enjoy her takes and topics but it can occasionally really drag as a stream of conscious solo act for over an hour - a little editing would make it a 5 star listen!

This used to be one of my favorite podcasts but it seems it’s just become completely uninspiring and uninteresting. Episodes are either weeks late to the party on a topic (eras ticket advice….. at the END of a two year tour, election episode AFTER the election 😵‍💫) , absurd “hot” takes on topics the host clearly knows nothing about (5 min on Wikipedia would solve this!), or just… lack luster and sometimes a direct copy of another pod (Bad broadcast 12/16 is basically the same episode as BTI5 12/ 22… and we KNOW Kate doesn’t work ahead bc half the episodes are late to post )? I was hoping season 2 would be a reboot but … still waiting I guess
