About Kate's list

"As a podcaster, getting lost in a story or learning something new in audio format feels second nature to me, and I am almost always listening to something on Audible. Since I provide commentary in the pop culture space, I listen to a lot of celebrity memoirs and nonfiction books as research prior to covering related topics on the show, and some of my favorite audiobooks are from authors I’ve had the opportunity to interview, like Elise Loehnen or Hannah Summerhill and Yseult Mukantabana. I recently recorded my own audiobook, "One in a Millennial," and my appreciation for this format now that I know what’s involved has increased exponentially. During the recording sessions, I found myself thinking about my favorite audiobooks for inspiration. I love when authors read their own books and I can hear the emotion and sincerity in their voices, and Jessica Simpson’s "Open Book" singlehandedly influenced me to keep the first takes when I read aloud some of the tougher passages in my book. I also love how audio comes to life for a series I’ve already read when there’s a creative use of a narrator, like how Lola Tung reads Jenny Han’s coming-of-age classics, or finding comfort in the voice of a familiar creator or podcaster and getting lost in their storytelling in long-form, like Danny Pellegrino." —Kate Kennedy, author of "One in a Millennial" and host of "Be There in Five"
