This is Episode 144, and our guest for the second time is Van Plating. Van Plating is a singer, songwriter, and virtuoso violin player from Lakeland, Florida, whose latest record Orange Blossom Child is a personal examination of the place that raised her.

We caught up at Van Plating’s beautiful home in central Florida with our bellies full of Indian food and glasses full of rum. Trigger warning, everyone. Van opened up about a near death experience she had a few years ago. It is a harrowing story and I don’t want anyone to be caught off guard by the details.
