Lessons from producing season 1 of viewSource
In this episode, Aurooba and Brian discuss the four main challenges they faced and learned from in while producing this first season of viewSource. They also dive into the side effects of producing viewSource and how it impacted other aspects of their professional lives. This all stemmed from a technical snaffu that lost them an episode they were looking forward to releasing but does segue well into the reflective period they find themselves as in as summer break approaches.
