Episode 1: Chat with liv. & Van Plating

Van Plating (left) and liv. (right) are seen giggling with eyes closed and big grins. Van is wearing a dark hat with a colorful feather she leans in on liv. resting her hand on liv’s shoulder. They stand against a white backdrop. They appear to be great friends.

liv. dropped her debut album, Young, Dumb, and In Love this past November. The album was also Indie Americana artist and multi-instrumentalist Van Plating's debut as a producer. The experimental collaboration yielded magic.

The album is a youthful, carefree glimpse into the dating life of a woman in her young 20s, navigating the world and learning along the way. On today's episode, liv. and Van talk about their collaboration, their future and current projects, serendipitous connections, and Muriel the cow.
