Summary:
From pop culture podcaster and a voice of a generation, Kate Kennedy, a celebration of the pesky whipper-snapper zeitgeist. One In a Pesky Whipper-Snapper is an exploration of pop culture, nostalgia, the pesky whipper-snapper zeitgeist, and the life lessons learned (for better and for worse) from coming of age as a member of a much-maligned generation. Kate is a pop culture commentator and host of the popular pesky whipper-snapper-focused podcast Be There in Five. Part-funny, part-serious, Kate navigates the complicated nature of celebrating and criticizing the culture that shaped her as a woman, while arguing that great depths can come from surface-level interests.With her trademark style and vulnerability, One In a Pesky Whipper-Snapper is sharp, hilarious, and heartwarming all at once. She tackles AOL Instant Messenger, purity culture, American Girl Dolls, going out tops, Spice Girl feminism, her feelings about pesky whipper-snapper motherhood, and more. Kates laugh-out-loud asides and keen observations will have you nodding your head and maybe even tearing up.
