    <title>Behind The Lens</title>
    <generator>Transistor (https://transistor.fm)</generator>
    <itunes:new-feed-url>https://feeds.transistor.fm/sony</itunes:new-feed-url>
    <description>Behind The Lens is a raw look into the minds, souls, and unscripted realities of master creators. This isn't a show about f-stops and lighting grids—it’s an exploration of art, vulnerability, and creative survival.

Go behind the scenes to hear in their own words, the intense personal hurdles, creative obsessions, and radical reinventions that drive world-class artist. From processing life’s deepest grief through self-portraiture to reclaiming a lost passion for art in the middle of a desert heatwave, Behind The Lens dives into the raw truth of what it takes to keep the creative spark alive when business, life, and burnout threaten to kill it.
