Episode 100: Coming to Completion (Celebrating 100 Episodes of YNP)

We made it to 100 episodes! We are so thankful to everyone who has supported us along this journey! In this episode we reminiscence on the past four years, update you on our lives since our last recording, and share some surprising news about our next creative endeavors!

Spoiler alert: While we may be ending our YNP journey, we are very excited to announce that we have a new podcast called The Katie and Kylie Show (KNKS)!! It's all about us being our unfiltered, funny, goofy selves. If you liked our banter and jokes while listening to YNP, you'll love our new show. All the jokes, none of the dark, heavy topics of YNP. 

Listen to The Katie and Kylie Show here.

Katie is also taking a solo leap into podcasting with a new show called Learning Out Loud. This is for all those who are curious and always down to learn something new. She'll be covering topics like history, science, self-help, and general-figuring-out-life stuff.

Listen to Learning Out Loud here.

Episode 99: Lightning & Thunder (Raymond James: The Rattlesnake Killer)

This week Kylie tells the story of Raymond James, known as The Rattlesnake Killer, and it's a doozy.

Trigger Warning: This week's episode contains discussion about SA and child abuse

This week Katie tells us the dark history of the FLDS: how it started, what it is, who the leaders were/are, and how they became so infamous. The idea to cover this topic came after Katie watched the Netflix documentary, Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey.
