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.
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!

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!

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.

1. We Invented Podcast
In this very serious first episode, Alyson and Seth cover everything from their high school hobbies to the emotional turmoil of describing what you “do” for a living.
Plus, they reveal the real reason this show exists: they're tired of creatives taking themselves so seriously—and they needed a place to talk about it.
Catchphrases are coined. Diagnoses are disclosed. Spaghetti is thrown. Welcome to the pod.
