Episode 197: Carter Bays and Craig Thomas Interview

Episode 197: Carter Bays and Craig Thomas Interview

This is the After Show for New York Mythological, featuring Andrew’s conversation with Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, creators of How I Met Your Mother.
 

As part of this MaxFunDrive run, Dead Pilots Society is featuring two pilots from Carter and Craig. In a few days, the second one, Gimme Five, will be released, followed by part two of Andrew’s interview with them.
 

The conversation gets into the real origins of How I Met Your Mother, the experiences, influences, and unexpected ingredients that eventually became the show. Carter and Craig also talk about the years before that success, and the many turns a writing career can take along the way.

 

It’s a funny, candid conversation about writing, setbacks, success, and the odd resilience it takes to keep making things.
