Resting Smile Face (with Alyssa Walker)

We’ve clawed our way here to San Francisco for the season 6 premiere of Did I Do That?! The incredible Alyssa Walker (Creative Director at WIRED) joins Sean to talk about where new toys come from, grind mode, and the Miyazaki of Rite Aid.

The best way to see Alyssa’s work is to subscribe to WIRED, which comes in print and digital subscriptions and starts as low as $10 for the first year. Better still, your subscription gives you access to some of the best tech journalism (and journalism at the intersection of politics and tech) that you can find. You can also find Alyssa on the web at alyssawalker.me, or on Instagram @_alyssawalker.

This episode was recorded January 30, 2025 in the offices of WIRED in downtown San Francisco. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to both Alyssa and to WIRED podcast producer Boone Ashworth for so generously lending their time, their space, and equipment for this recording!

This episode kicks off Season 6 and it’s going to be a big one! Please share the show with a friend if you enjoyed this episode, or leave a review on Apple Podcasts! It really means a lot!
