There isn’t much like seeing a group of people come together to make something, be it a television show, a film, heck a commercial. There’s a magic in it all.

We cut up about the roles of a writer and producer on set, why writers should produce their episodes, and the levels of pre-production that goes into making an episode of TV come to life. It’s a lot.
