Jeff Aiello is a gifted documentary filmmaker having won 13 Emmy Awards in a career spanning 35 years. A fixture on PBS with his highly acclaimed Outside: Beyond the Lens series and so many more productions, he is adept at every aspect of filmmaking including being the very personal voice - literally - you hear in every film gently walking us through a new locale. In the first of three parts he explains what compelled him into filmmaking, what he finds most gratifying creating this work and what challenges him the most.

Continuing with Jeff Aiello, has he and his crew ever arrived at a location they'll be shooting at and... the locals didn't want them there. Also - Is Jeff a story-driven or location-driven filmmaker. Much like in a musical, either the story comes from the songs or the songs come from the story.

A new era begins for Fresno State women's basketball with the hiring of head coach, Ryan McCarthy. McCarthy comes to Fresno from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. He joins the program for two segments along with two of his players, Emilia Long and Avery Watkins. In this first segment we discuss a lot of "Why's."
