Show notes
Episode Description
Patricia, Nayland and Hernease are all back in The Workroom together to hash out the brutal ending to a rough season. For this finale episode, we discuss the 5 in 5, why designers need sleep, who we really wanted in the final 3, and of course, the financials.
At the end we share some joyful watch recommendations.
Even though the show is over, we will be back with bonus episodes on our Patreon. Join us there at the Making it Work level so you don’t miss them.
