About
Syd Walter is from Seattle and is a senior at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. She began podcasting when she was fourteen because she wanted to tell her own story and not listen to people tell it for her. Now, she is interested in stories that make others feel seen and help to see others. She particularly loves stories about dailyness and things that unexpectedly change your life in some fundamental way.
