Welcome to the Precious Pod — the unhinged, unstructured, and unexpectedly heartfelt podcast from a tiny team of designers in Des Moines. Hosted by multi-disciplinary artist Alyson and art director Seth, this is not your average creativity podcast.

    14. What is Woman? (with Angelica Valente)

    Angelica (Gel)—Canadian-born designer behind Valente and co-founder of a Spaced Visuals—joins us for a conversation about self-care, family, and creativity. We chat New York vs. L.A., balancing multiple career interests, and having little baby voices. Gel gets real about being a woman in the film industry, working alongside her boyf/husband and her meditation practice. Plus, we discuss running vs. walking and performative males. Come for the pirouettes, stay for the power moves! In this episode: @alysonohara @sethlunsford @angelicavalente_ @valenteworld_ @spacedvisuals

    13. Blue Collar Blip (with Ben Mayer)

    In this episode, we start with plugs… and then do the pod backwards. Ben Mayer, self-proclaimed maintenance man and current Blippi actor, drops in to talk moving to L.A. and how a year of filming went from Monster Jam to F1. The conversation whips through ramen recs, Sleep Token lore, and midwest filmmaking before diving into OCD, intrusive thought tangents and PBS nostalgia. As always, expect a chaotic conversation about creativity and coping with our friend Blippi! I mean, Ben! In this episode: @alysonohara @sethlunsford @benthemayer

    12. Back to Clown School (with Brittny Rebhuhn)

    Alyson and Seth welcome actor/director/clown child Brittny Rebhuhn for a very on-brand hang. They open with a “tight five” of physical comedy, spiral into Peach Fuzz origins via Call Me By Your Name, and bully Seth toward theater and improv. Brittny unpacks her experience in clown school (tennis-ball hazing), haiku season rituals, and who she’d be in the apocalypse. There’s even a surprise call from a fan of the pod.

    This week, Alyson gives Seth some pop culture updates, including the Cracker Barrel rebrand, Snoop Dogg’s rant, and an upcoming Harry Potter series. They also chat about Halloween costumes, current obsessions and their respective roles in the apocalypse. Come for the lukewarm design takes, stay for the existential rambling.
