Introducing How We Made Your Mother
It’s been 20 years since How I Met Your Mother premiered, and just over 10 years since the finale. With so many round numbers in the air, it’s time to look back at this groundbreaking show. Josh Radnor, who played “Ted” for nine seasons teams up with series co-creator Craig Thomas for this episode-by-episode rewatch podcast. For the superfans, HWMYM (listen to the trailer to learn how it’s pronounced) will get into all the secrets, theories, and pineapples, but we'll also use HIMYM – and our relationship to it two decades later – to talk about life and love and art and everything in between. How We Made Your Mother... a flashback podcast for a flashback show.
