Author. RBT. Podcast Host. Fueled by Coffee.
Hi, I’m Kat Halstead.
I’m a romance author, full-time behavior tech, podcast host, and part-time college student who fully believes in the power of second chances, found families, and fictional crushes.
By day, I work with children on the autism spectrum, helping them grow through evidence-based therapy. It’s work that’s challenging, meaningful, and incredibly grounding.
But once the workday ends? I dive into swoony stories full of big emotion, slow burns, steamy chapters, and endings that make your heart ache (in the best way).
Beyond the Page: A Very Special Podcast
When I’m not writing romance or plotting emotional slow burns, I’m co-hosting A Very Special Podcast—your go-to destination for nostalgic television deep dives and hilarious hot takes.
Together with my co-host Patrick, we revisit the most iconic, cringey, or just plain chaotic moments in pop culture history—from dreamy teen dramas and forgotten sitcoms to holiday specials and Very Special Episodes™ that tried way too hard. Whether it's dissecting Dawson's Creek drama, reliving TGIF vibes, or questioning why every '90s show had a ski lodge episode, we’re here to laugh, cringe, and celebrate the TV that shaped us.
💾 New episodes drop regularly, and you can binge the archives at averyspecialpodcast.com or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
🎧 Listen, laugh, and get weird with us.
