Description

This week, Kate interviews influencer Caroline Calloway about her backstory leading up to her debut memoir, Scammer, whose title is a nod to her online reputation following a myriad of scandals throughout her decade on the internet. They discuss various elements of her internet lore, like backing out of a $500,000 book deal, the mason jar workshop, projects that have fallen through, being sued by her landlord, the infamous article written by her ex-friend Natalie in The Cut, etc., and then get into the book itself. Kate asks if Scammer’s rollout was meant to be scammy, dives into Caroline's obsession with academia and becoming a memoirist, and then Kate shares the parts of the book she enjoyed as well as the parts she felt crossed a line in how they frame another person’s trauma. TW: sexual assault, sexual violence, suicidePre-order my book, One in a Millennial here!SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSFind your forever pieces at jennikayne.com.

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.”
