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. Here is a link to "The Future is Now”, Oliver Beene theme song by Carter and Craig’s band “The Solids” Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's MaxFunDrive!
