Cozy, Open Mic Night Funeral Vibes with guest Kat Kibben (Ep 26)
💐 Episode Summary
In our first guest episode of season 3, Dinah sits down with longtime work collaborator and beautiful human, Kat Kibben, for a conversation on the reality of life’s journey taking us off course. But in the best way possible. Kat’s playlist brings to life a cozy, open mic night feel at your favorite bar which exactly how they want their funeral to feel. We’ll talk about artists like Hermanos Gutiérrez and Otis Redding, and get introduced to Kat’s favorite genre of music - “that guy playing guitar that no one’s ever heard of.” Well, now we know Joe Purdy, Greg Holden, and Noah Kahan, and we’re in love with their music.
