Hosts Kacey and Jamey (Kat is on vacation) welcome film photography duo, Lisa Tang Liu and J. David Tabor, onto the podcast to chat about their project, Alchemy of the Unknowns. In the episode, we learn about Lisa and Dave as individual artists and their experience collaborating remotely on a double-exposure film project from Boston and Phoenix. We learn about Holga cameras, the importance of networking, and getting obsessed with getting your work seen.
Takeaways:
- Collaboration is a vulnerable process and can be difficult or uncomfortable at times.
- Building community on social media, “Hashtags brought us together.” - Lisa Tang Liu
- Selling zines can be a break-even game.
- Starting small businesses and collaborations can often be a stress test on friendships.
- Part of the beauty of collaboration is the blending of individual skill sets for a common goal.
- Proactively network and be dogmatic about getting your work seen and included in shows and publications.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
